About Us
Welcome to Travel Mode Tour, your gateway to discovering Brazil in an authentic and unforgettable way. We are an agency passionate about every detail and culture of this enchanting country, ready to provide unique and immersive experiences in every destination. Born from a love of adventure, cultural diversity, and the desire to turn tours into unforgettable memories.
Our commitment is to show you a different Brazil, beyond the postcards. Here, every destination is an opportunity to dive into the true essence of the country, exploring its traditions, history, and most importantly, its people. Our mission is to transform each journey into a personalized experience that respects local communities and offers a unique perspective on Brazil.
Travel Mode Tour was founded in 1998 by Andrea Tognoni, an Italian who fell in love with Brazil over 25 years ago. Since then, Andrea has dedicated his life to showcasing Brazil uniquely and respectfully, particularly through guided tours to local communities and favelas. He believed the country had much more to offer than just its most famous tourist landscapes.
With a profound and sensitive view of Brazilian culture, Andrea started guiding the first tours, bringing travelers to places that reflect the true essence of Brazil. Respect for communities, appreciation for local traditions, and the desire to connect people with Brazil's cultural authenticity have always been the pillars of Travel Mode Tour.
Over the years, our agency has grown and evolved, but the focus has always been the same: to provide immersive, respectful, and personalized experiences. Today, Travel Mode Tour is synonymous with genuine cultural exploration, offering tourists the opportunity to experience Brazil in a way that goes beyond the surface.
