Best experience with Boston Bruno!!

Published on Feb, 2025

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!

Published on Feb, 2025

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

Great tour and guide

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a great tour for anyone visiting Rio. We had a great walking/riding tour with a great lunch and fantastic views. My husband and I would highly recommend any of Bruno's tours. You won't be disappointed!

Exhilarating Experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

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

Published on Feb, 2025

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!
