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.

Overview of your Recife tour
Let me introduce you to the cultural side of Recife. Starting with the Recife Antigo (Old Recife) and its monuments, the Marco Zero Square, Good Jesus St. , Kahal Zur Israel (first Synagogue of the Americas) and visit the Giant Puppets Embassy, so you can meet the famous giants that parade during Recife's Carnaval, dazzling the merrymakers. We'll also visit the Casa da Cultura, an old prison turned into a shopping mall of artcraft and all sort of local products. The last stop will be at the workshop of Francisco Brennand, one of the most incredible places you will visit in Recife. Francisco is mainly a sculptor, but he works in several different media. He's best known for his work in ceramic sculpture. He built his workshop in the ruins of his family's old tile factory. The land where it is located is known as Engenho Santos Cosme e Damião (Saints Cosmas and Damian Mill), is in the historic neighborhood of Várzea and is surrounded by remnants of the Atlantic Forest and the waters of the Capibaribe River.
