Hi! I'm Paula, originally from Argentina, and I've been lucky enough to call Brazil home since 2013. My passion for travel and different cultures began when I was a teenager. I used to visit tourist attractions just to listen to people speaking different languages and meet travelers from around the world. That curiosity eventually became my profession, and today, sharing the beauty, history, and culture of the places I love is what makes my work so rewarding. I've been working in tourism since 2010. I studied tourism in Argentina in 2008 and gained experience in travel planning and leading groups of both children and adults on trips throughout Argentina, other parts of Latin America, and Asia. After moving to Brazil, I completed my professional tour guide training and became a licensed guide. I've had the pleasure of guiding visitors in Rio de Janeiro, Ilha Grande, and Búzios, where I now specialize in sharing the natural beauty, fascinating stories, and local culture of this wonderful peninsula. What I love most about being a private guide is that no two travelers are alike. Some enjoy discovering beautiful beaches and scenic viewpoints, while others are curious about local history, culture, or simply experiencing the relaxed atmosphere of Búzios. I believe the best tours are the ones that reflect your interests and allow you to enjoy every moment at your own pace. For me, guiding is much more than showing people around. It's about creating genuine connections, sharing memorable experiences, and making sure you feel welcome, comfortable, and well taken care of. I would love to show you my favorite corners of Búzios and help make your visit truly special. I hope to meet you soon! Professional Qualifications Licensed Tour Guide in Brazil, registered with Cadastur, Brazil's official tourism registry Tourism studies completed in Argentina in 2008. Professional experience in tourism since 2010. Specialized training in natural attractions. Additional training in environmental education, history, and geography of Búzios, offered by the local government. Languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Oh, what a day! Paula took us on a great walking tour of Buzios with history, art, humor and charm. She made us want to move there -- or at least come back with our entire family. The highlight was the surfing lesson. The instructors got us (two 69-year olds) to stand up and ride the waves. We felt like we were professionals! Paula was also flexible to go with our flow and enjoy the spirit and excitement of whatever came our way.

We highly recommend Paula who is personable and outgoing with an excellent command of English and communication skills. Our customized tour of Buzios was further customized perfectly as she got to know us and what we enjoy. She not only showed us several beaches, her knowledge of each one seemed infinite. Part of our initial communication had been to find a good restaurant for lunch; her recommendation was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you, Paula we enjoyed one of our best lunches ever:-)

Paula is a great tour guide! What a nice way to spend the day in Buzios! She & her driver (nice car!) drove my wife & me to several of the beautiful lookouts over the island, visiting several nice beaches. We spent the last hours on Geribá beach, where we took a Surfing lesson!! I never thought that at my age I would be able to do this. But 2 instructors were talented/patient/fun! Both my wife and I were able to stand while surfing several good-sized waves!! Then, private time enjoying the beach!!
