The history behind
Rio Smile Tours
Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, I’ve always been passionate about culture, travel, and meaningful human connections. Over the years, my love for exploration has taken me to more than 20 countries across Europe, North America, and South America — experiences that helped shape the way I welcome travelers today.
Licensed by Brazil’s Ministry of Tourism since 2012, I offer personalized private experiences in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, always tailored to each traveler’s interests, pace, and travel style.
Through Rio Smile Tours, my goal is to help visitors experience Rio beyond the ordinary — combining iconic landmarks, authentic local experiences, flexibility, comfort, and genuine local insight to create unforgettable memories in the city
I proudly call home.
