The Carioca Eyes
I am a certified tour guide and a lifelong Carioca, with about 10 years of experience showing Rio de Janeiro and the surrounding region to visitors from around the world.
I actually started guiding when I was 16. In Brazil, some high schools offer professional technical degrees, and I chose to study Tour Guiding while still in high school. What started as my first professional experience became something I have continued ever since.
Today, I bring that local knowledge together with an international perspective. I hold a master’s degree in International Relations, speak five languages, and also work in the fintech industry. I am naturally curious and passionate about Old Hollywood cinema, theatre, science, art, food, and the stories that make a place more than just a postcard.
I am 26, 1.91 m (6'3"), mixed, and proudly Carioca — the word we use for someone born in Rio. I know the famous sights, of course, but I also love showing the city beyond the standard itinerary: its neighborhoods, culture, everyday life, history, contradictions, and the little details that you might otherwise miss.
My goal is simple: to make you feel like you are experiencing Rio with someone who genuinely knows and loves the city, rather than simply following a script.
Come see Rio through a Carioca's eyes.
My tours are flexible and shaped around what each client wants to experience. I enjoy getting to know my guests and adapting the itinerary, pace, and recommendations to their interests rather than following a rigid script.
I am also a passionate foodie and a big believer that food is one of the best ways to experience a culture. I have received wonderful reviews from previous guests about the culinary experiences I have created for them, from choosing great local restaurants to introducing them to the flavors and food culture of Rio.
Safety is always a priority on my tours. I want my guests to feel comfortable, relaxed, and confident while exploring the city.
Beyond the landmarks, I bring a strong background in Brazilian culture and sociology. This allows me to go beyond explaining what you are seeing and help you understand the stories, people, social dynamics, and demographics behind Rio's neighborhoods and landscapes.
I enjoy guiding LGBT+ travelers because I love meeting people who are curious, open-minded, and interested in experiencing a destination beyond the obvious. I also enjoy creating a welcoming environment where guests can feel comfortable being themselves while discovering Rio.
