During the tour, you will not only visit the main historical points - you will experience each stage of the evolution of Rio. We walk through places where Brazil began, where kings stepped foot, where commerce flourished and where the past and present mingle vibrantly. I explain curiosities, striking events and secrets that few residents know, always in a light, engaging and accessible way, whether for those who visit Rio for the first time or for those who want to see the city with other eyes.
My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming and memorable experience, connecting you to the true soul of Rio de Janeiro - with knowledge, passion and authenticity.
Come discover the Historic Center of Rio with me, a Guide born and passionate about this city.
