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!!

“One word. Fantastic ”
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.

“A fabulous introduction to Rio”
We had a great day with Flavio and would recommend a day with him when in Rio! He is a charming host and so knowledgeable and took great delight in sharing his knowledge, upbringing, personal favourites and so much more. He planned the day perfectly and we loved every minute! Spend a day with Flavio when you're in Rio - Highly recommended!

“An Unforgettable Day in Rio with Flavio!”
Our tour of Rio de Janeiro with Flavio was absolutely exceptional! From the moment he picked us up, his warmth, professionalism, and passion for his city shone through. We explored not only the stunning beaches — from the iconic Copacabana and Ipanema to some hidden coastal gems — but also many fascinating historical and cultural landmarks that brought Rio’s rich past to life. Flavio’s knowledge of Rio’s history, architecture, and daily life made every stop meaningful and engaging. He tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, always making sure we were comfortable, safe, and having fun. His timing and organization were flawless, and his friendly personality made us feel like we were traveling with a good friend rather than a guide. If you want to experience Rio in the best possible way — with someone who truly loves and understands the city — Flavio is the guide to choose! Highly recommended!

Daniel F.
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.
