Since 2012, I have been guiding groups and families speaking in Italian, English, Spanish and Portuguese. I like to show visitors the classic Tourist attractions in Rio, but also local and interesting places, such as Santa Teresa neighbourhood, where artists, locals and tourist have a very good time. I also lead large and small private groups from the moment they arrive at the airport, or at Rio’s harbour, accessorizing them during their stay in Rio.
