Photography and walk through the historic center of Rio de Janeiro! private tour

About the Tour

I have a different proposal to offer you:

Let's tour the center of Rio de Janeiro learning a little Portuguese while taking beautiful photos for your social networks!

Aren't you tired of not having a decent photo that shows your beauty and that of Rio at the same time? Does your partner or travel companion take out-of-focus and moved photos? Do you want to make your ex envious by showing him how well you are enjoying Brazil? Let's find a photo worthy of your Instagram in the center of Rio!

My name is Pupi Castro, I am an Argentine designer, musician and comedian who during the pandemic made the decision to start fulfilling dreams, one of them: living in Rio de Janeiro.
More than 5 months ago I started accompanying tourists and it is a job that I enjoy and -based on my reviews- people do too.

We'll meet on the metro at the CINELANDIA station, from where we'll go to the Real Gabinete Português de Leitura , whose main hall stands out for its lavishness and its neo-Manueline style ornaments (yes, it looks like a set from Harry Potter).

Then we will walk to the Sao Sebastian Cathedral in Rio de Janeiro, which does not matter if you are religious or not, the stained glass windows and the imposing architecture will surely mobilize you. Then through the famous Arcos da Lapa , an aqueduct built in the 18th century and which today is the iconic setting of this city.
Finally, we will finish the tour in the beautiful Escaderia Selarón , a pedestrian street in the shape of a staircase that was intervened by a Chilean artist that is full of color.

Along the way I will take photos of you, as well as teach you some words that can make your stay in Brazil easier.

ATTENTION:

• Although the journeys are short, I recommend you to wear comfortable shoes, water and sunscreen.
• Rio is not a dangerous city, it is a city where you have to be careful: I will tell you when it is not convenient for you to take out your cell phone.
• Remind you that just because it is a free walking tour does not mean that it is free. Take into account my time and my money invested when giving your contribution.
• The idea is that we are a group of no more than 3 or 4 to be able to enjoy the tour and do it in a more personalized way.
