EN Brazilian-born and living in the UK for over 20 years, with an amazing few years in the Scottish Highlands, I am a local tourist guide offering bespoke and pre-set itineraries in Scotland, especially across the Highland region: Northern Highlands, Moray, Speyside, Aberdeenshire and Perthshire. After 17 years of living in London, I moved to the stunning Scottish Highlands region in February 2020. With my partner, I created our private tour company based in the Moray Speyside area (aka The Malt Whisky Country), where I live, located an hour from Inverness. In 2025, after 18 months of studying and training, I completed the prestigious Blue Badge Tour Guide qualification by the STGA (Scottish Tourist Guides Association) to be fully qualified and certified as a Tour Guide in Scotland. Additionally, I am certified by HOST Guides- Highlands of Scotland Tour Guides I also hold a Certificate in Scotch Whisky from the Edinburgh Whisky Academy. I am a qualified driver-guide, fully insured and licensed (person and vehicle), and I host tours in English and Portuguese. I look forward to hearing your ideas about touring our beautiful region. Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your requirements. PS: In some castles/monuments, I cannot guide you in some areas within the historical monuments, even though I am a qualified STGA Blue Badge tour guide. However, I will explain beforehand, and almost all sites have interpretation panels and multilingual audio guides to help you during your visit.

Após 17 anos morando em Londres, mudei-me para a deslumbrante região das Terras Altas da Escócia em fevereiro de 2020. Com meu parceiro, criei nossa empresa de turismo particular com sede na região de Moray Speyside (também conhecida como The Malt Whisky Country), onde moro, a uma hora de Inverness. Em 2025, após 18 meses de estudo e treinamento, concluí a prestigiosa qualificação de Guia Turístico Blue Badge pela STGA (Scottish Tourist Guides Association), para ser totalmente qualificada e certificada como Guia Turística na Escócia. Além disso, sou certificada pela HOST Guide - Associação de Guia de Turismo das Terras Altas da Escócia. Também possuo um Certificado em Uísque Escocês pela Edinburgh Whisky Academy.

Aguardo ansiosamente suas ideias sobre passeios em nossa bela região e não hesite em entrar em contato comigo para discutir suas necessidades. PS: Em alguns castelos/monumentos, não poderei guiá-los em algumas áreas dentro dos monumentos históricos, mesmo sendo guia turístico licenciado Blue Badge - STGA. No entanto, explicarei de antemão e quase todos os sites possuem painéis de interpretação e guias de áudio multilíngues que ajudam você durante sua visita.
