I'm a professional tour guide in the State of Pernambuco and I live in Recife, the Capital of the State. I have my CADASTUR (the registration at the Ministry of Tourism of Brazil) for 6 years now. I speak fluently English and Portuguese and lived all my life in the region you are interested on visiting - this makes me your perfect companion for visiting Recife, Olinda and all the wonderful places there are in Pernambuco. I also guided groups of tourists as a Tour Conductor to other States and cities in Brazil, having some knowledge of João Pessoa/PB, Campina Grande/PB, Maceió/AL, Fortaleza/CE, São Paulo/SP, Belo Horizonte/MG (including Inhotim Institute), always along with local tour guides to provide proper assistance. I have a wide knowledge of Recife, Olinda and the many cultural options to visit in these historical cities. In addition, I have guided many tourists to the wonderful and paradisiac beaches along the Pernambuco State coast, such as Calhetas, Porto de Galinhas, Carneiros, Tamandaré, Itamaracá, just to name a few options. I also love introducing the visitors in the delicious and exotic local cuisine. Seafood, local cheeses, the famous "sun meat" with bottled butter, tropical fruits and marvelous desserts. I'll tell you more when we meet here. South America/National and Regional Tour Guide in the state of Pernambuco, registered in the Ministry of Tourism of Brazil since 2012.

This walking tour will cover most of the Old Town Recife (Recife Antigo), where the city began, and its many historic landmarks. The surroundings are like a second home to me. I'll introduce you to giants, poets, and new tunes and flavors. We'll see ruins and talk about the past, the Portuguese, Dutch and Jews. Visit the Marco Zero square and also the Good Jesus Street, elected by an American architecture magazine as one of the most beautiful streets in the world. We will learn more about the Frevo, local music and dance, at Frevo Museum and try the delicious Maltado, a milkshake-like beverage that is a tradition of the oldest snack bar of Recife. It goes well with a coxinha. Don't know what it is? Don't worry, I'll show you. Note: Some monuments/museums may not be open on Mondays.
Wonderful day with Sergio walking around Recife. He was very knowledgeable and willing to customize the tour to fit our interests. Also, versatile during the day of the tour making changes as we wanted. Next time we are in Recife we will use Sergio as our guide.
Interesting half day tour of Old Recife. It was raining heavily, but Sergio found good alternative sights to avoid walking in the rain too much. Overall good service. To fully appreciate the city, a full day tour may have been better.
