Meet Your Local Rio Expert
Hi, I’m Faby — a licensed tour guide in Rio de Janeiro with over 13 years of experience creating private, thoughtful and memorable experiences.
Born and raised in Rio, I also spent many years living abroad across Europe and the United States, including Spain, Germany, England and the U.S. Having traveled through 24 countries and more than 200 cities, I understand how much comfort, timing, cultural sensitivity and small details matter when exploring a new destination.
As the founder of This Is Rio, I personally design each experience and coordinate every detail with care. Depending on the day and the itinerary, your tour may be personally guided by me or by one of our trusted licensed guides — always with the same warmth, flexibility and local insight that define This Is Rio.
My goal is simple: to make your time in Rio feel smooth, personal and unforgettable.
