I am a life-long world traveler of Scots' and German origin, who's come to (somewhat) settle in the "Marvelous City", Rio de Janeiro.Since 1987, I've been permitted to accumulate expertise as a local tour guide, as well as tour manager on roundtrips of Brazil and/or Latin America; besides having acquired a quite extensive general know-how of the peculiarities of the South American ways of life. In nearly three decades of service I've had the immense pleasure to host and aid a great number of, often more than just satisfied, clients of all 'peoples', ages, and genders.Amongst these are: cruise-ship travelers, business-travelers, individuals, families, groups of all sizes, specialized incentive groups, as well as scientific or journalistic research teams, etc.  Please feel free to contact me for your tour.Oh, yeah, before I forget: I am also known to render useful counsel with regard to accommodation in Rio, and/or elsewhere in Brazil or South America; Tours and Trips; Excursions; 'surgical holidays'; where (and where not) to go; what (and what not) to do; and a host of other such regional advice...with never any excessive concern for remuneration.
