I am a tourist guide in the land of Iguaçu Falls, I have an inbound Tour Guide team and I work with private transport and tour guide services, all the free-lance guides that I have partnerships with are legalized with federal registration. My history with tourism begins in 1990 when I decided by chance to start working in this area, I really liked it and subsequently decided to take the Tourist Guide course offered by the federal government, subsequently I graduated in tourism at a local university, then graduated in administration . I like this area because it gives us the opportunity to meet people from different cultures every day, learning a lot from them, as well as being a dynamic and surprising job, as well as the satisfaction of showing our clients the countless attractions in our city and region.

Celso B.

My name is Celso and I was born in São Paulo in 1976. In the first phase of my professional life, I worked in the electronics industry for 27 years. During this period, in addition to walking around São Paulo, I traveled through several Brazilian states, getting to know the diversity of Brazil. In the second and current phase, after the 2020 pandemic, I decided to start a new career by choosing tourism. I took the tour guide course and was accredited. São Paulo is the largest and most populous city in the entire southern hemisphere, and welcomes and shelters people from all over Brazil and the world. For 12 million inhabitants, it is the city of dreams and challenges, of hope and achievements, of culture and shopping, of nature and architecture, and obviously of travel and tours, and in these I will be happy to accompany you on your stay over here. I love seeing the sparkle in tourists' eyes when they discover a new place. I want to share emotions and discoveries in special places on your visit to São Paulo. I'm tour guide accredited by Ministry of Tourism. Welcome to São Paulo!

“Best start in Rio”

We took this tour on the first morning in Rio, and it was a perfect start. Marcelo gave us an excellent overview of the city, showing us perspectives you wouldn’t find by yourself, and made us feel comfortable in Rio. His English is excellent, and he is passionate about his city. After this intro, we continued on our own, as we were confident that we are in safe areas. Obrigado, Marcelo!
