Welcome to Rio de Janeiro, the city of wonders!!! My name is Bernard Moraes, I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. I have also lived in Montreal and Buzios, known as the St Tropez of Brazil. I majored in Business Administration and Psychology is on the final year of my academic pursuit. I have been working in tourism for more than 15 years. I love hosting people from all over the world and showing you my city. Tourism for me is having new life experiences. It can be discovering a new place and culture in different ways, trying local food, visiting places only the locals know, or learning the local ways of life. I’m not the kind of guide that fill your precious time with generic touristic experiences, I want to share with you the authentic Brazilian culture and customized an itinerary with the attractions you want to see, prioritized by best timing, safety, and pleasant enjoyment. I offer private tours from 1-12 people max. Depending on your group size and preference, I can be your driver guide with my own Honda Fit 2014, or use a professional driver and van. Come and discover the special way of life of the "cariocas" (how locals are called). Let me share with you some treasures of Rio!

Enjoy the best of Rio: Sugar Loaf + Selaron steps + Santa Teresa
Overview of your Rio De Janeiro tour
This tour combines some of the highlights of Rio: Sugar Loaf + Lapa steps + Santa Teresa district. I was born and raised in Rio, so, between these highlights, I ll be happy to show you some of my favorite places and invite you to do the things I do in my free time: hanging around and having lunch in a local bar in Santa Teresa or Urca neighbour, the area of Sugar Loaf , which most of tourists don't explore. Both have some hidden places with great views and not so touristics. As it's a private tour, we can customize it in case you wish to change any of the attractions.
