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!

Overview of your Rio De Janeiro tour

Petropolis, known as the Imperial city, is after centuries the best look of how monarchy affected Brazil still on the current days! The city has changed along the years however maintaining the center as it was with all its palaces. During the largest immigration period (between first and second world war), Petropolis welcomed many western europeans that were looking for moderate climate when docking in Rio. This fact has redesigned the architecture in Rio!
