I am Ellen de Castro, and it would be an honor to be your guide and add a touch of Brazilian flavor to your Boston adventure. My passion for discovery began in my hometown of Brasília, Brazil’s capital. As a child, I used to convince my father to take me to the international embassies just so I could collect travel pamphlets and dream of far-off cultures. That lifelong curiosity eventually led me to Boston, where I have been a resident for over 27 years. Today, I combine my deep love for history and languages to showcase this incredible, historic city to visitors from all over the world. I became a guide because I believe that personal connection and expert storytelling can truly make a difference in one’s journey. I would love to share the stories of my home with you and provide a sophisticated, memorable experience through the streets of Boston. In addition , I would like to add I am able to customize the tour according to your preferences.
