Renata was guiding our group of 20 pax during our time in Porto Alegre during the FIFA World Cup 2014. The group consisted of top VIP guest of The Coca Cola Company. Renata did an amazing job, she had answers to all the questions that were asked to her. She took all challenges and hard situation and turned them to be a success. She was always friendly and everybody liked her really much and appreciated her help and support. She is a real champ, without her our trip to Brazil would not have been the same.
Renata the professional

I found Renata after posting on a travel forum asking for help finding a tour guide for my choir's visit to Porto Alegre. Renata answered my initial email right away, in spite of the time change. She gave our group of 42 a terrific walking tour of Porto Alegre on our first full day in the city. It was remarkable. Renata was highly knowledgeable, understood the age group of our travelers, patiently answered questions, gave a great deal of individual advice, and was the smartest choice we made for our trip. I give her the highest possible rating!

I have been living in Brazil for 4 years and thought I knew at least a little bit about the city, then when my mum and her partner came over to visit from England we booked a tour with Renata one evening and she really showed me the history behind Porto Alegre and what it has to offer. It's a real shame we didn't book a full day and get out of Porto Alegre. When my family come out again, I will certainly be in touch again and let you show them around.

Thank you, Chris!!! Whenever you need a guide, I'll be more than pleased to show you the city and places around!! Next time we can book a whole day!! I'd love to spend some time with your lovely family again!
I arrived in Porto Alegre as a single traveller who was a bit shy and worried id miss out on the city's delights as I don't speak Portuguese. My hotel put me in touch with Renata who joined me on a coach tour of Grimado and Canela. I couldn't believe how warm and friendly Renata was. From the moment we met, she made me feel so relaxed and welcome. Within half an hour we were giggling as though we had been friends for years and I had more fun on that day than on nanny other day in my 9 months travelling. Not only was Renata extremely friendly, her English is absolutely incredible. She even knew colloquial words so I felt as though I was talking to a friend from back home rather than someone who speaks English as a second language. Renata's knowledge was also first rate - she knew everything about the area as well as general knowledge about things like why statues of horses are sometimes shown with one or two legs off the floor (you'll have to book a tour with her to find out the answer!) Renata gave me so much of her time and genuinely loves sharing her local knowledge so it's a real pleasure spending a day with her. I can't imagine you could find a better tour guide so if you want to see the best of the city with some fantastic company then you can't do better than going with Renata.
