One of the most important things for me is to make travellers feel comfort, safe and offer a very personal, memorable local perexperience.I'm a former student of architecture and arts and I have a bachelor degree in international relations.I consider myself very open-minded and I'm pro LGBTQ rights.I have several interests from arts, architecture, urban design and African-brazilian culture to shopping and outdoors activities.Please check different tours available but I'm a flexible guide so I can tailor any tour to your personal interests. More than a guide, I want to be your contact and friend in the city of Rio de Janeiro.*LGBTQ friendly *Available for short trips around Rio *English, Spanish and Portuguese

There is only one Felipe!

So before I visited Rio, I reviewed several proposed private tour guides. All looked good, but...when I came across Felipe, clearly, he was the choice! Why? Everything he said about himself and what he could do for me sounded more sincere than others...and what a great choise! Felipe was the best private guide I've ever had! There is only one Felipe! He's a good listener, has a solid handle on the English language, and knows his own city having been born there. He's passionate about showing off Rio to visitors and made me feel welcome in a city that still has a bad rap and reputation for tourists being robbed. He made me feel safe and secure in a big city. Best of all, while he has no vehicle to take you around, this was a big advantage frankly....we Ubered as necessary, but it also got me into Rio's subway and streetcars. This is where the real people of Rio are! Felipe took me to places where you will never go with big tourist groups. Worth every penny and more. You won't be disappointed!
