About Tour Guide Luis D.
My name is Luis and I was born and raised in Rio. I believe I have always been a tour guide. I use to bug my kindergarten teacher to do show-and-tell every other day. Now every day is show-and-tell! I get to show off my city, and take people to see places I like to go and do the things that I love to do.
In 2003, after living for 8 years abroad, I've decided to come back to my hometown, and for the past 17 years I've been working full time as a licensed and accredited private tour guide in Rio. I'm quite fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and have a degree in tourism and an MBA in environmental management.

Olá! I’m Daniel, and I’m thrilled to guide you through the wild heart of Rio de Janeiro -Tijuca National Park. Born and raised in Rio, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the mountains, forests, and waterfalls that embrace our city. While the beaches often steal the spotlight, it’s in the lush green trails of the Tijuca Forest that Rio’s true magic comes alive. From the roar of hidden waterfalls to the call of capuchin monkeys echoing through the trees, this is where the city breathes. I studied Business Administration and Geography, and over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to exploring, protecting, and sharing the natural wonders of the Atlantic Rainforest. I’m a certified ecological tour guide, and whether we’re hiking up Pedra Bonita, exploring ancient caves, cooling off under the Taunay Waterfall, or discovering secret beaches, my goal is to connect you with the powerful nature that thrives just minutes from the urban buzz. Tijuca Forest isn’t just the largest urban rainforest in the world—it’s a living, breathing story of resilience, beauty, and adventure. And the best part? We can mix eco-tours with other natural attractions around Rio, like mangroves teeming with caimans and capybaras, or take a dip in a secluded beach far from the crowds. Let’s explore a side of Rio most visitors never see—and create unforgettable memories along the way.

Welcome to Rio de Janeiro! Come fall in love with this marvelous city just like I did since I was a kid!! My name is Flavio, and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. I am a Gastronomy Graduate and since 2002, I have worked in restaurants and hotels around the world (USA, France, Spain, Curaçao), always welcoming, serving, and in contact with people from all over the world. I am passionate about learning and knowing about stories, traditions, cultures, and obviously gastronomy, which makes me want to share everything that is best about our city. In addition to the usual touristic attractions, we can arrange personalized tours to places not all tourists know or think of going to, breaking taboos and showing various facets of the city. The tours are done with my own car, safe and comfortable. Let me surprise you what Rio has to offer you!!
