About Tour Guide Flavio T.
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!!

“Brilliant guide.”
Flavio was everything you would want from a guide to a new city. Timely, personable, knowledgeable and with loads of advice he helped us keep an appropriate pace throughout and we got to see everything. Nothing rushed. Nothing difficult and we tried a couple of his cafe and restaurant recommendations that evening with great sucess. He comes highly recommended.

Flávio is simply the best. Knowledgeable, great English and most importantly he listens to what we want. I couldn’t have picked anyone better. We have him for the second day today.

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.

Hello! It´s a pleasure to have you here! I hope we have a great time together, exploring what Niterói has to offer! Many people who comes to visit Rio, forget about his sister. Yes! Niterói would be something like, New York and New Jersey? Both cities are connected by a bridge and have a lot of history background together trough time. From beaches to visit and hills to hike, to historical museums and traditional restaurants! Nature and culture come together in a Feijoada like dish, to offer you many possibilities of entertainment and good momments to share! It will make your head spin, just like having a caipirinha! We can go for several hiking trails and visit tons of beautiful landscapes! Are you into museums?Architecture? I got you cover! And why not book a paragliding tandem flight to be the cherry on top of your trip? Or maybe an outrigger canoe ride! Or just chill on a nice beach! Let me show you a Niterói - RJ from a local perspective!
