We invite you to join us in a journey back in time though Ancient Rio and Santa Teresa! Let’s visit the historical center of Rio and go to the Mosteiro de São Bento, walk through the Praça XV, Arcos dos Teles, Cinelandia (and take the opportunity to visit Colombo’s bakery) and the Arcos da Lapa. We will also visit the bucolic neighborhood of Santa Teresa with the beautiful houses of the early 20th century. Santa Teresa is famous for its traditional tram from 1897 and for being the nest of several painters that open their houses so that you can check their work.

Had a private tour with Dario which was an absolute pleasure! A wonderful guide, such knowledge, enthusiasm and pride in his hometown Rio, kindly took us wherever we wished with nothing but patience. Would recommend anyone lucky enough to visit this incredible city to experience a private trip with Dario, you won’t regret it!
