Private Tour Rio de Janeiro

Home.png

Hi! My name is flavio!

Who am I?

Hi! my name is Flavio Tupinambá, a Rio de janeiro tour guide, and I'm passionate about my city!

​

Based on this passion, I created the Tupi Tour, so that I could show the "wonderful city" - as it is known - to as many people as possible!

 

I have a degree in gastronomy, having worked for 18 years in restaurants and hotels, having opened my own restaurant in Vila Madalena, São Paulo, the Ruaa.

 

Amateur surfer, I love enjoying the city of Rio and everything it has to offer! And it will be incredible to be able to present the best of Rio to you too!

Carioca Culture: "Traditional samba dancers performing in Rio de Janeiro."

Best in Rio: "Private party and carnival"

In August 2024, we had the pleasure of participating in a project with one of Poland's biggest YouTubers, Ojwojtek, who has nearly 650K subscribers on YouTube and 370K followers on Instagram, showcasing Rio as the locals know it!

Testimonials

“Flavio was the tour guide we could have only dreamt of! We booked this tour the night before and he promptly suggested we start early (6 am) to take the first train up to see Christ the Redeemer and avoid the Saturday crowds. Very grateful for this suggestion! It was an eventful and productive day, but Flavio made it feel so normal and effortless. Not only was Flavio informative and efficient, his personality definitely made us feel like we were just wandering with a friend! Highly recommend Flavio’s tour!”
