Augusto "Guto" Naufel
Hi! My name is Augusto, Guto for friends, and this is my homepage for travelers coming to Rio de Janeiro.
After a few years working as a guide for some of the best travel agencies in Rio and São Paulo, I thought it would be a good idea to offer my knowledge and services directly to visitors. This will allow me to provide hosting and guiding in a way that ensures travellers will get the most from their experience. This is possible by providing them three very important aspects of the service:
Exclusivity: I noticed that most of the tours offered by agencies in Rio try to "fill" a minimum number of people to start a certain tour. Most of the time it makes a very varied group of people. Sometimes it works, but other times it can be a painful experience. The exclusivity allows the visitor and his family/partner/friends to have full time attention from the guide. It also allows you to set the pace of your tour, which gives you more flexibility.
Flexibility: By setting your own pace you can make your ride/drive/hike faster or slower, which can leave you some extra time to do other things. The flexibility also allows you to make little changes in your tour according to your feelings, humor, necessities or any other external factor that may change the initial idea. The service is exclusive, so it only depends on you to change it according to the material and time possibilities.
Customized Services: In this website you will find some suggestions of tours (specials, classics, hikes and expeditions). But you can also pick part of each one or just add one to the other and make your own customized tour. In this case you can just hire an English or French speaking guide with an exclusive vehicle for your transportation in a pay-per-hour guiding service. We want to help you create your tailor-made tour in the city of Rio and give you the experience you are looking for.
What I look for in this job is not to offer only a touristic tour. I look to offer the visitor a very nice experience in the place I chose to live. I aim to surprise my customers in a positive way, giving a bit more than they are expecting of a regular tour in Rio. And I truly believe that we can offer that by the way we do things, no matter what we are doing!
