Overview

The main differential is the face-to-face tour guides. We believe in communication as a way of connecting and exchanging knowledge and expectations. It is not a tour to expose one's knowledge. It is a tour to generate connection and make exchanges between human beings, taking advantage of everything around us to make it happen. So, we work in the study not only of buildings and spots, but also of local behaviors, expressions and peculiarities and much more

Meeting points

Itinerary

  • Cinelandia (Pass By)

    The meeting point will be at the Municipal Theater, located at the Cinelândia Square. Other points of interest are the Fine Arts Museum, the National Library, the City Council. We´re talking about all of them from outside, conecting the place to the Rio de Janeiro's history

  • Escadaria Selaron

    After knowing the stories behind the colurful staircase, we´re checking it out, having time to take some pictures

    15 minutes

  • The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian

    I will reveal to you several stories hidden in the structure and details of the oddly shaped cathedral

    25 minutes

  • Colombo

    You will enjoy one of the most beautiful cafes in the world. Inaugurated at the end of the 19th century, at the height of the Brazilian belle époque, it has a beautiful art nouveau salon, where I will show you a little of our patisseria

    20 minutes

  • Praca Quinze de Novembro (Pass By)

    This square is a kind of time machine, because it take as back as far as the beggining of the colonization of the city, including the first settlement in Rio. Around it, we have buildings that date from the 17th century to the present days, including an Imperial Palace and the church where we had the coronation of a king of Portugal and two Brazilian emperors

We actually booked 4 full days with Daniela. We couldn’t have been happier for our time and experience. She tailored each day to suit, she was prompt and so knowledgeable. Huge thank you for the best experience we could have hoped for.

An awesome day in Brazil

Look no further if you want to see the real Rio! Daniela is not only knowledgeable in history, politics and contemporary culture, she is humorous, a great story teller and gives a very personal experience. Could not recommend her more
