Michael Serruya

At the age of 12, Michael moved to Florida where he  finished middle school at Boca Middle. He moved back to Rio after living 10 years in United States. In 2010 he  finished the tour Guides course at Marc-Apoio (EMBRATUR).
 The best tour guides bring a destination to life with their passion and that what I do. I believe tour guiding is an art. But it’s the best kind of art, where you deal with people and like in a song, you need to hit the right note and create the right mood and sensations, with a real feast of colors, sights, and sounds.

 

Rio is not only the most beautiful city in the world, it is rich with culture and history. And since this is a Rio private tour, the focus is on making the tour the way you want it.
