I am a Brazilian who lived in Ireland for a year, where I had the opportunity to merge with the local life. I also had the opportunity to travel and see many countries and cultures. On my travels, every time I came to a new city; The first thing I looked for was a “free tour”. I have been to more than 20 different countries in Europe, Africa and America. When I got back to Brazil, I searched for a free tour of Rio, but we couldn't find it! This is how our travel agency was born, in July 2013! We promise to make our tours of exceptional quality, in a fun, interactive and informal way. In this way, we are changing the way tours are organized in the city and increasing the expectations of tourist tours.

Buena caminata, era lo que esperábamos, pero no me gusto que nos dejaran en el inicio de la escala selerón sin compañía donde terminó el Tour. El resto todo bien, incluyendo la persona de seguridad que estuvo casi todo el camino! Muchas gracias !
