A professional and experienced tour guide of Rio de Janeiro city and surrounding areas. Born in Rio de Janeiro as a so called "carioca", I am gifted with advanced culture knowledge, especially in the music and art scene. Environed by friends which also consist of artists like professional music studio owners, musicians, photographers and theater producers, who contribute to a cultural life and provide a unique insight into a colorful scene, I extend a special access to specific information to the visitors, if needed. Altogether, I offer individual adjusted and safe tours with memorable and unique moments. For questions and booking, please contact me!

Overview of your Rio De Janeiro tour

Hello, dear customers! We are going to walk on the beach, like a local, sit on a chair at the beach or a bar, swim, drink coconut water, a drink or fresh juices, walk on the promenade avenue, rent a bicicle if wanted (for around +-U$10, hour) and go to a restaurant. We can visit the Tom Jobim statue, our music composer from the song Girl from Ipanema. Then we go shopping in the Ipanema shopping street or hippie market (on sundays) and I will bring you to the nicest boutiques in Rio. Bring your hut, your swiming sudes, speedo or bikinis, a sandal and the sun protector. At the beach, we will have a barrac if needed. If you like just walking on the avenue and sit in one bar or kiosk is also possible. We can also share the time of shopping and beach after your spontaneous decision. CUSTOMIZE - I can create a customized tour for you in case you have special requests Note: For 5 to 13 passagers group please just ask for information.

We had a really great afternoon and evening with Simone. Simone was a great guide and along with her driver gave us a great insight into the area and is very warm, friendly and knowledgeable. She showed us some great views and took us to the Bossa Nova Festival on Ipanema Beach and then to a really great local restaurant for dinner. She really couldn't do enough for us. Thanks again Simone.

Simone M. is fantastic! We so enjoyed our Ipanema tour with lunch at a famous restaurant! She is very fun, knowledgeable, and listens to what we desired to do. Would definitely recommend her to anyone that has a free day in Rio!! Quite the tour guide!!

Simone was fabulous. Took exceptional care of us. We wanted a slow day and that is just what Simone provided...a walk on Ipanema beach, a great historical place to eat great tapas, some history on places we passed by, interesting current political information and some shopping. On-time pickup and on-time drop-off to airport. Couldn't have been a better day....Thank you Simone

Simone was punctual and efficient in her communications with us. She accommodated time changes and some changes I requested with our itinerary. She is very knowledgeable about Rio. She provided us with memorable experiences with a visit to Sugar Loaf Mountain and an outstanding meal at a Brazilian steak house.
