The Spirit of Rio Unleashed

Hi, I am Bernado Bragas. To most, Rio de Janeiro is a city, but to me, it’s an ever-unfolding story waiting to be told, a symphony of sights, sounds, and experiences. Since 2014, I’ve been your storyteller, guiding the curious and the adventurous through the heartbeats of this pulsating city.

Official Tour Guide in Rio de Janeiro

It began simply enough

Canoe tours. There’s a certain magic about navigating the serene waters, looking up at Rio’s majestic skylines. But my spirit yearned for more. That yearning led me to the hiking trails, where I could introduce travelers to Rio’s natural wonders and hidden secrets.

The Art of Speaking the World's Language

In a city as vibrant as Rio, being bilingual isn’t just a skill, it’s a necessity. My fluency in both English and Portuguese bridges the gap between cultures, ensuring that every tale, every joke, every piece of history I share resonates deeply with you, no matter where you’re from.

Tours outside of Rio

While the heart of Rio is intoxicating, the beauty beyond is breathtaking. Whether it’s rafting in the rapid waters of Casimiro de Abreu or scuba diving in the crystalline depths of Arraial do Cabo, with me, every journey is a story worth telling.

Why "Be Adventure"

Because with every step, every paddle, and every dive, I aim not just to show you Rio but to immerse you in its spirit. To make you feel, even if just for a few days, that this city is as much yours as it is mine.
