Bernard - Rio de Janeiro Private Tours

Description

Hi!!! My name is Bernard, I was born and raised in Rio. I've graduated in business administration and since then, I´ve been working with tourism. I do private tours in Rio with my car and my proposal is to offer you a customized service, taking you only to the places you want to visit. You’ll see much more than if you joined a group, besides of having me as your private guide in Rio! I’m a licensed guide by EMBRATUR, the Brazilian Tourism Institute. I speak English, Spanish and French! What I look for in my job is making you have an unique experience and unforgettable day, with safety. Come and discover the Brazilian culture and the special way of life of the “cariocas”, how locals are called. Let me show you some treasures of Rio!
