Hi I'm Val, I have been working in the travel business since 2001. For 14 years I lived in USA and worked mainly introducing North America, between Canada and USA, to Brazilian tourists. Some years later I moved to France where I started targeting the American and Canadian markets as well as the Brazilian tourists that were visiting Europe. I'm back in Brazil since 2001 since then I have been working as an official tour guide in Rio de Janeiro. It is really a privilege for me to have this job and the chance to show visitors the wonders of Rio de Janeiro, guiding and disclosing this enchanting city with all its history, traditions, culture and of course, natural beauties. All those years spent abroad helped me having a very good understanding of my clients expectations. I try to meet the needs of each customer tailoring the tours according to the interests always focusing in quality, comfort and security. Thank you for choosing the marvelous city of Rio de Janeiro as your destination! It will be my pleasure to show you around!

Spending a day trying Brazilian flavours is also a great way to interact! It starts with a visit to a "feira" (food market), while we walk among a large variety of food stands, locals can be observed how they shop for home made meals. Some stops are a must. Pasltel com caldo de cana (a Brazilian empanada with sugar cane juice) and a tapioca stand which, from ham and cheese, banana with sugar and cinammon to a nutella with banana are among the most popular flavours that can be tasted. From the visit to a "feira", the tour offers stop for a beer with codfish balls or crab shells and finally to the main meal of the day that can go from a fish stew (moqueca) or keeping it small with a beans soup cup.
A 'feira" is the best way to start this tour. The client will get a feeling of what and how people shop for their daily diet! At the same time travelers will be introduced to "pastel with cana" (sugar cane juice), as the "tapioca", the way is made in Brazil with all different fillings. From salty flavous (ham and cheese) to sweets (nutela), it's a way that many people start the day. Coconut water is also a must!
