Claudio is a guide, historian and visual artist - he is the perfect Rio ambassador, and knows all the wonderful corners the city has to offer. All of our guests have enjoyed his easy-going manner, and knowledge of the culture and history of the city, all while riding in his comfortable Minivan Spin LT. (English, French, Spanish, Portuguese)
