Tour Guide & Visual Artist in Rio de Janeiro I’m passionate about my city, and my mission is to help you fall in love with Rio de Janeiro too! I offer more than just tours – I curate unique experiences that dive into Rio’s rich tapestry of art, history, gastronomy, nature, traditions, crafts, Afro-Brazilian culture, architecture, and photography. While I showcase the must-see landmarks, I also reveal hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots that only a local can introduce you to. Think of me as a friend who takes you on a journey through her favorite places! About Me: Born in Rio de Janeiro, I moved to Italy at age 10 and lived there until 2013. I earned my degree in "Science of Tourism" from La Sapienza University in Rome, and my love for travel has taken me to live in cities like London, Lugano, Milan, Barcelona, and New York. Now back in my homeland, I’m rediscovering my roots and feel incredibly blessed to share this beautiful city with you. After the pandemic, I worked as Marketing Director at Riotur (Rio de Janeiro Tourism Company) for three years (until June 2024), where I contributed to promoting Rio as a top global destination. This role further fueled my passion for connecting people with the beauty and culture of Rio. As a licensed Tour Guide and Sustainable Tourism Adviser, I run my own business offering private, tailor-made tours. Together, we'll explore Rio’s best spots – from breathtaking views and artistic hubs to hidden secrets and local culture. Whether you're into architecture, history, or music, I’ll ensure your visit is truly unforgettable! Languages I Speak: Italian English Portuguese Spanish What are you waiting for? Come discover Rio, and let’s turn your trip into an unforgettable experience!
