Our tour guide is an all-in-one professional as he’s also a musican and singer, playing the guitar and some other instruments along the way. You’ll get to know all about Bossa Nova, how and where it started, who were the main composers and performers, like Tom Jobim, Vinícius de Moraes, João Gilberto and others.

Imagine exploring the streets of Ipanema and Copacabana with your own knowledgeable troubadour. We had Gui with his guitar making the tour fun and enjoyable with his knowledgeable explanation of the sites we visited in the lens of how music developed into the Bossanova genre.

We had an amazing time with Gui. This was the very first visit we did when we arrived in Rio and it was a perfect introduction to Brazil. We really enjoyed getting to know Ipanema and Copacabana through music. We 100% recommend.

A fun, interesting and very musical tour. Our guide Guillerme takes a trip back in time and plays classic bossa nova songs.

The visit is worth every minute. The guide knows well, from the inside, bossa and all the music of Brazil, its history and current reality, in addition to its cultural and social environment. They will be able to ask questions, listen to his music and sing with him. Very enjoy it!!

Beautiful experience! An authentic tour of Rio's musical culture, to the sound of Guilherme's guitar. I hope the initiative continues to grow and improve. I recommend it to my friends.

We really enjoyed the tour with Guilherme earlier this week, a wonderful experience! He provided a lot of information about the history of bossa nova, its origins in 1950s-1960s and how it evolved over the years. Plus singing many songs walking along the streets of Ipanema and Copacabana, with nice guitar chord progressions: we tried to sing/hum along with Guilherme which was fun!
I'd definitely recommend the tour to those who love music, in general, and bossa nova in particular. And even if you are not that much familiar with bossa nova and its roots, take the tour - it will open up an important part of Brazilian culture for you and ignite (or maybe reignite) your passion for music.
5 stars!
