Altogether, I offer individual adjusted and safe tours with memorable and unique moments. For questions and booking, please contact me!

Let's spend the day exploring the Tijuca Forest in Rio de Janeiro
Overview of your Rio De Janeiro tour
In Rio, you find the Tijuca-forest, one of the largest urban forests in the world. We walk and climb through the roots of an Atlantic Forest, which used to cover the whole southeast area of Brazil. While on tour, you can have a fresh shower underwater coming directly from a natural fountain. After that, we will have a lunch stop where you have several options for juices and snacks or local food. Refresh your life with nature's energy! If you have a group with more than 4 passengers please ask for more information we can take a van. CUSTOMIZE - I can create a customized tour for you in case you have special requests PLEASE NOTE: To avoid any disappointments, I ask that you send me a message with your preferred tour date and start times BEFORE your booking.

Our tour today was PERFECT. Simone did a wonderful job showing us Rio, not only the forests and waterfalls but also the city, the vibrant street life, the sights, sounds, and food of her country. She is so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly, we very quickly felt like we were vacationing with an old friend. Simone made sure all day that we were well taken care of and seeing the best that Rio has to offer. I would recommend Simone to anyone who wants an amazing personal tour of Rio.
Alan H.United States
Simone is awesome to deal with, highly highly recommended. She is very knowledgeable, flexible and easy to deal with and more importantly she goes above and beyond! We ended up utilizing Simone for 3 different 6 hour tours. We REALLY got to experience Rio's best known sights and some hidden gems, and could not have been happier.
