Hi I'm Val, I have been working in the travel business since 2001. For 14 years I lived in USA and worked mainly introducing North America, between Canada and USA, to Brazilian tourists. Some years later I moved to France where I started targeting the American and Canadian markets as well as the Brazilian tourists that were visiting Europe. I'm back in Brazil since 2001 since then I have been working as an official tour guide in Rio de Janeiro. It is really a privilege for me to have this job and the chance to show visitors the wonders of Rio de Janeiro, guiding and disclosing this enchanting city with all its history, traditions, culture and of course, natural beauties. All those years spent abroad helped me having a very good understanding of my clients expectations. I try to meet the needs of each customer tailoring the tours according to the interests always focusing in quality, comfort and security. Thank you for choosing the marvelous city of Rio de Janeiro as your destination! It will be my pleasure to show you around!

    This was one of the best tours we've ever taken, largely thanks to our excellent guide, Valeria R. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and understanding of our interests made this memorable. She shared her love of Rio and Brazil with us, giving us a truly custom experience. We treasure the time we spent with Valeria and give her our highest recommendation.

    Val has such a warm personality and has exceptional knowledge and generosity in sharing Rio highlights and culture along with tapas! Val is an exceptional driver and found short cuts when traffic was backed up. I highly recommend Valeria.

    Valeria was great. We gained an understanding of the city, had a great lunch in St Theresa, got to see the central synagogue and had a fun time with a great person

    Valeria is the best! It is hard to imagine what our first day in Rio would have been like without her. The places she took us to sample local cuisine were a perfect introduction to Brazilian culture. She didn't hesitate to adjust the itinerary to honor to honor our requests and is very personable. I felt like I've known her for years and will definitely work with her in...
