Adventure Seekers’ Paradise: A French Tour Guide’s Take on Outdoor Activities in Rio
A Carioca (Rio local), Fabio honed his high-end tourism skills in the cruise ship and hospitality industries before starting Rio Cultural Secrets in 2012. His tours are as fun and friendly as he is, and he tailors them to fit visitors’ specific interests. For example, he can whisk them away from the tourist trail to visit Rio’s lesser-known West Zone attractions such as the exquisite gardens of Sitio Burle Marx and the folk art museum Casa do Pontal.
Choosing a private tour with Rio Cultural Secrets is the best way to get a feel for this unique Brazilian city, dubbed “Cidade Maravilhosa” (“Marvelous City”). Popular tours include the Half Day Tour of Historic Rio which explores both the past and present of Brazil’s most enchanting metropolis; the Full Day Tour of Rio, taking in famous sights such as Corcovado Mountain with its Christ the Redeemer statue, Leblon, and Tijuca Forest; or the Rio City Tour, which whizzes from one highlight to another.
