European by birth, I moved to Brazil decades ago and love living in fascinating Rio de Janeiro. Growing up in Belgium, speaking different languages came naturally to me and nowadays I communicate in six in total, even though Portuguese and English are my most common day-to-day languages. 

I founded our tour operator in the early 2000s after working in a large hotel in Rio de Janeiro prior to that. Our team, including your local expert Viviane, is an international, multi-lingual eclectic group and we also have a great portfolio of guides in many different languages and of many different specialities: no matter if you’re looking for a historian explaining the European heritage in Brazil or an ornithologist to accompany you to the Amazon, we’ve got you covered. And of course, carnival in our home city Rio is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any traveler!

Our tours are most suited to those looking to cover several cities or regions in Brazil, wanting to make the most out of their time.

My name is Gabriela, and I grew up in the colorful landscapes of Salta, where my love for travel and culture first began. Guided by curiosity, I’ve explored remote nature, diverse traditions, and the stories that shape each place. The more I traveled, the more I appreciated the richness of Argentina and South America. Today, I use that passion to craft meaningful journeys that reveal the region’s true soul — its flavors, sounds, landscapes, and unforgettable human connections.

When people think of Brazil, it’s often soccer, carnival and Samba they think about. When I think of my beloved country, I think of a very diverse landscape from paradise beaches to untouched Amazon forest, I think of passionate people always ready for a talk and a dance and I think of the hospitality Brazilians show to travelers worldwide. My name is Viviane and I can’t wait to show you the best of my native country Brazil. 

Our tour operator is based in Rio de Janeiro and we’re as multicultural as Brazil is too - we speak over 5 languages in the office, among them Portuguese, English and Dutch, and are constantly out to explore more of our beautiful country. We have a great portfolio of guides in many different languages and of many different specialities: no matter if you’re looking for a historian explaining the European heritage in Brazil or an ornithologist to accompany you to the Amazon, we’ve got you covered. And of course, carnival in our home city Rio is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for any traveler!

My name is Alessia. I was born and raised in Córdoba, Argentina. My passion for travel began when I was a child. My father instilled in me a curiosity to discover the world. So I decided to follow that path. Having explored much of Latin America, I can help more people enjoy this wonderful part of the world.

Born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, where mountains meet the sea, I have always felt deeply connected to nature and gastronomy. Inspired by the city’s vibrant energy and rich culture, I developed an early desire to explore Brazil’s many landscapes and traditions.
My travels have taken me from the majestic Iguaçu Falls to the vast Amazon Rainforest, driven by a genuine wish to connect with both people and places. Whether wandering the historic streets of Paraty or feeling the ocean breeze on Ilha Grande, I always seek authentic experiences.
Through local flavors and shared stories, each journey has broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for Brazil’s diverse cultures.

My connection to tourism began in the landscapes and quiet traditions of the Córdoba countryside, where I grew up. Being surrounded by nature and local culture taught me early on to value authentic places and people. 

Travel added to this passion. Exploring Argentina and other parts of the Americas from a young age sparked my curiosity for tourism and the transformative power of experiencing new destinations. Through an academic exchange, I also gained hands-on experience in tourism logistics and MICE events in Argentina and the United States. Today, I’m driven by a genuine passion for creating meaningful and memorable journeys.
