Hi, my name is Bruno. Thanks for visiting my profile. About me: I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro city and I live in Copacabana. I am a person that likes to travel, to practice sports and has a good sense of humor. I am interested in urban art, architecture, gastronomy, music, history, sports, culture and economy. I graduated in Business from the Catholic University (PUC-Rio) in 2003. I have worked as a Marketing Analyst for big corporations such as The Coca-Cola Company and VIVO (Telecom company) for 7 years. In 2015, I started a new career in the Tourism industry working for tour companies as a licensed tour guide. The commitment to provide a high quality of service, knowledge and good communication skills led me to guide hundreds of times including the logistics support of Oakley guests during the Olympics and the transport coordination of the Owners Forum, an event that took place at the Belmond Copacabana Palace in 2016/2017. It is a pleasure to meet every week tourists from all over the world to show them the wonders of the city where I live and tell them the curiosities and the history of the places that we visit. Services: I work with experienced drivers. During the tours you will have full attention of your tour guide. I recommend you not only to visit the main attractions, but also to discover the hidden gems and experience the Carioca's (how the locals are called) lifestyle. It is offered in my ToursByLocals page a group of services that will permit you to cover the most interesting places and activities inside the city. If you or someone from your party have any dietary restrictions, please kindly inform me in advance. There are Kosher, Vegetarian, Indian, Chinese and Lebanese restaurants in Rio. Feel free to send me a message, if there is a doubt or a specific need related to any service described in my page. It is a pleasure to help you and clarify your questions before the purchase of a service. I look forward to seeing you in Rio. Licensed guide by the Ministry of Tourism. Graduated in Business Administration - PUC (Catholic University) - 2003. Technical course in Tourism - PROTUR - 2015. Cours de Français (en ligne) - Azurlingua/Nice - Niveau B2 - 2021 I work with experienced drivers using Sedan cars (Toyota Corolla, Chevrolet Cruze) for 2 people and Chevrolet Spin for 3 people . Please, check the service 'Rio by Minivan' for small groups. For a larger vehicle (Van), please request a quote.

Bruno was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, looked after us, and his tour came with a seperate driver. This saved us a lot of time and walking. We highly recommend him.
Rio is huge. Not much English - how is your Portuguese? Brazil isn't a place to wander without purpose. The famous beaches offer only a small glimpse of the city. You need Bruno, the overqualified multi-lingual guide/logistics master/friend to provide every possible desire and need. We spent parts of 4 days enjoying architecture, live music (even at midnight), local eateries, side streets, a trip to the medical clinic, and the mainstream attractions that were worthy. He is truly a pro and will do anything to provide your complete satisfaction planning (he does an abundance of homework) and implementing your time together. This is his mission statement. I will stop again in Rio just to re-connect with him. 10 stars.
Bruno Bar was the best tour guide! He exceeded my expectations in all aspects. He was able to adjust the day's schedule to accommodate the intermittent clouds at the Chris the Redeemer Statue, so we got the best views. Also, Bruno added other stops/sites to the itinerary based upon my own interests. He is professional, friendly, and goes out of his way in everything he does for guests. No detail is too small. He even worked with my dietary needs. I highly recommend Bruno and will use again next time I'm in Rio. :)
My wife and I took a full day tour with Bruno. It was exceptional. We were able to accomplish so much as he utilized a driver, so we did not need to keep looking for parking spots. His knowledge of Rio and the places he took us, such as the Selaron steps and The Maze, provided a truly memorable day. We highly recommend him.
Bruno is more than an excellent tour guide. It was a breeze communicating with him. He speaks fluent English and has a friendly, polite and calm demeanor. Through his careful planning, we avoided crowds while experiencing the sights and sounds of street parades. He is sensitive to our needs. He made our experienced in Rio memorable and enjoyable. After the tour ended, he went above and beyond to contact the airline to trace our lost golf bags. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a guide.
Very comprehensive tour by Bruno who changed the original itinerary at our request. We saw a lot of what we wanted in the time slot. Excellent and patient driver who managed to park in impossible places. Only negative was at beginning we asked to go to a money exchange and then everyone forgot until it was too late
