Best experience with Boston Bruno!! - Our family group had an incredible time in Rio, thanks to Boston Bruno Tours! As a meticulous planner, I researched extensively before booking, and Bruno exceeded all expectations.
From the moment he greeted us at the airport, everything was seamless. He crafted a perfectly ordered itinerary, shared his deep knowledge of Rio’s history, and ensured we experienced the city’s magic. Our tour included iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Maracanã Stadium, plus hidden gems and incredible local food spots.
Bruno’s warm personality, humor, and attention to detail made the trip stress-free and unforgettable. With a professional driver, a well-stocked tour van, and top-tier service, this was hands down the best tour I’ve ever had. If you’re visiting Rio, Boston Bruno is the guide to book!

The BEST tour in Rio! - Boston Bruno Tours is by far the BEST tour company in all of Rio. We traveled with a family of 9 including 4 young kids and Bruno was fantastic with everyone. He knew how to keep the kids engaged as well as the adults with all of his historical knowledge of the city. You can tell Bruno is well known and liked through the city as well would regularly see him stick his head out the window and say hello to everyone everywhere. Our family loved going to Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf mountain, the famous library and beautiful churches.
We had an awesome dinner at one of Bruno’s recommended steak houses every night and it did not disappoint. I would highly highly HIGHLY recommend you book his tour when you visit Rio. You will not be disappointed, he is the best in the business

Exhilarating Experience! - Bruno was an entertaining and informative tour guide. His attention to detail and wealth of knowledge about Rio was refreshing. He was patient with us and allowed us to tour at our own pace and structured our tour based on our wants. I plan to visit Rio again with family and will only tour with Bruno!

Best guide in Rio the Janeiro - We spent two days with Bruno as a guide in Rio: it has been a great experience!
He was passionate, engaging, honest, professional, punctual. He also speaks perfect English and was really helpful for tips for the rest of the trip.He also took us a lot of amazing pictures. We are travelling with two toddlers and he managed to adapt the tour for us and for our children. It has been a pleasure to discover the marvellous city with Bruno , we can't reccommend him enough, he was really attentive to every detail, made sure we were confortable, safe and enjoying ourselves. We forgot a hat in the van and he brought it back to our hotel.
We would highly reccomend having a tour with Bruno!

Obrigado, Bruno!!! - Absolutely incredible! Bruno went out of his way to give me a true Rio de Janeiro experience. I did the food and history tour, and it was a fantastic introduction to Brazilian cuisine and culture. Between the sugar cane juice and the snacks along the way, I’ll never forget it. Bruno is knowledgeable, outgoing and knows how to tailor the experience to best suit his guests. I’ll be recommending his tour to all of my friends and family that will be traveling to Rio. Obrigado!

From Boston to Rio, Bruno is primo! - Bruno is the man! We spent two days seeing many sights of Rio with him. He was knowledgeable, punctual, professional, delightful, and speaks perfect English. We also really appreciated that he lived in the USA for 20 years and could insightfully explain the cultural difference between our country and Brazil. You will thoroughly enjoy any tour you book with him!

4 lads in Rio - This guy is amazing… took us to sugar loaf. Christ the redeemer, churches, libraries and even to the favella where we ate some food from a friend of his. Managed to bypass queues and his knowledge of where the busy spots would be to avoid them was really useful!
10/10 would highly recommend.. has also been really helpful for tips for the rest of the trip. Wish we had used him for much more!
