PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE SERVICE - I have become a tour guide after a personal experience living abroad. I lived in North America for over a year and that gave me a clear understanding of other culture. Adding this experience to some time in Europe has made me understand what are some of the expectations people have when visiting Brazil. It was with this in mind that I started giving personal tours 20 years ago. My service is designed to meet each customer's interest whether it is a student group, executive group, corporate trips, families or individual travelers. Private transportation is provided from 1 (smaller cars) to 8 people when we have larger vehicles with a driver. Mini buses for 16/20 people are also one option offered for larger groups. Coming to South America represents a great challenge for many people, and I've taken as my mission to demystify these fears by building a safe and most importantly a joyful trip for you! ** Rio de Janeiro is the Brazilian city that promotes the world's largest outdoor festival - Carnival There are many ways to take part of this delightful festival. Make sure to have your travel arrangements (accommodation and tours) organized a couple months ahead and let me know if you wish to have a unique experience by taking actual part of it and feel the energy of the festival!

During this visit you will learn how our community helped building the country since the period of Brazil as a colony. Most of all the arrival of hundreds of young jews in our main ports looking for a new start. A walk in the city centre of Rio will also show different periods of Brazilian history influenced by other cultures. During our tour you'll see some of the beach menorahs and some of Rio's important buildings for the city's cultural life such as our recently restored colonial housing in Lapa. A visit to one of Rio's active synagogue can also be provided, *subjected to pre reservation and time of the year.
We were in fact guided by Valeria, Leticia's partner. We had a great day. Valeria was very knowledgeable about both matters Jewish and general, and we were able to do a huge amount to a limited time, and clearly understood very quickly our interest in food, and kept us supplied all day with Brazilian snacks! She was fantastic
This was a wonderful tour. She was patient, informative and detailed. She was great
As for the previous day's tour, she had the same attributes of knowledgeable, friendly and efficient.
Leticia was an outstanding guide. She took us to the Rio de Janeiro Synagogue and gave us an overview of Brazilian Jewish and general history. She also took us to many interesting neighborhoods and sites. She arranges for close up parking so we were able to spend more time at the sites and not feel rushed. Best of all she personalized the tour based on our interests. She was pleasant, personable and a joy to be with.
Leticia was not only very knowledgeable but delightful as well. Our afternoon exceeded our expectations. She had made arrangements for us to visit 2 Synagogues which was really appreciated.
Leticia really introduced us to the way Cariocas live. We learned a lot about Carneval and about Jewish life in Rio. We can highly recommend her and will definitely contact her on our next trip.
Starting with the highlight of the Jewish tour, travelers will be taken to the beautiful Old Temple where an introduction of the Jewish immigration history will be commented. After leaving the synagogue, the old part of the city, where several Jewish immigrants have lived and started their business is shown. Once the oldest part is covered, the visit will take place to the current Jewish areas in Rio. The recently built, a must see during this tour, is a visit to the Holocaust memorial. Also some public menorahs are seen and a visit to a modern synagogue is offered. Although Rio does not offer kosher restaurants (except inside a Jewish club), it's the right time to suggest a stop for kosher platz with several great "to go" options!
