Best hotels in Rio - Pleasant morning to discover Rio thanks to the beautiful Bruno who manages to make you visit the most beautiful and iconic points of Rio, giving you anecdotes, curiosities and giving useful tips for staying in the city. New and comfortable bikes that being electric make quick travel between the various sites proposed. I did the tour in Spanish, a language Bruno masters as a native. The best way to get the first approach to the city vote : 10 and praise. Tour strongly recommended

E-bike tour with Buno - Bruno gave us a great private e-bike tour. He was very patient and accommodating. The tour went from a Copacabana neighborhood and ended in downtown Rio de Janeiro. He pointed out many important landmarks. He keeps you with him as you negotiate the traffic and crowds. For the most part you are on bike paths but occasionally you go on streets so be aware. All in all, I would recommend this tour with Bruno.

Amazing experience! - This bike tour was an absolutely wonderful experience! Our guide was incredibly attentive and took us to parts of Rio de Janeiro I had never explored before, despite having visited the city many times. He provided fascinating insights into the early Portuguese colonization of Rio and shared fascinating recent discoveries about the city's history of slavery. We enjoyed a scenic ride along the beautiful coastline and concluded the tour at the breathtaking Ipanema Beach. I highly recommend this experience to everyone, and I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Fascinating Bike Tour into Rio’s Rich History - I took a historical city tour of Rio de Janeiro’s Centro, and it was an unforgettable experience. The tour offered a perfect blend of history, architecture, and culture, highlighting the city’s colonial past and its evolution into a vibrant urban hub. Our guide Bruno, was incredibly knowledgeable, weaving stories of Brazil’s history with captivating details about each landmark we visited. Stops like the Municipal Theater, Cinelândia, Arco do Teles, and Royal Portuguese Reading Room were breathtaking, each with its unique charm and significance. One of the highlights was visiting Praça XV, where we learned about the arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family and its impact on Brazilian history. Another standout was the Monastery of São Bento, which left me in awe with its stunning Baroque architecture. The tour was well-paced, allowing us to absorb the details without feeling rushed. I appreciated the guide’s insights into the lesser-known parts of Rio’s history, like the role of immigrants and the transformations the city has undergone. I highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply discovering Rio beyond the beaches. It’s a must-do activity for visitors and even locals who want to deepen their connection to the city’s rich heritage.

Fun and Informative - Bruno is a gem. He took us to see parts of Brazilian Afro culture that I hadn’t seen in my 3 trips to Rio and was overall so kind. He was fun to hang around for a few hours, and I would recommend this tour.

Informative and Fun - This tour was fantastic. Bruno was very kind and knowledgeable about the history of Brazil. My friend and I really appreciated the Afro-Brazilian history we got to see and hear, especially since we had just taken a samba class. The bikes were new and Bruno consistently asked if we were okay. We highly recommend this tour.
