I´m graduated in History and Tour Guide certificate in Cadastur. I have visited more than 40 countries, and has traveled almost all over Brazil. I love to meet new people and cultures. I love to tell the story of my city and the people who lived here and contributed to transform Rio into one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I will show you the Rio de Janeiro that goes beyond the natural beauty, we will discover the buildings, streets and squares, through the history of the town and the characters who lived here.
