Pioneers
Born in US and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Francis had the opportunity to grow inside Rio’s environment and culture so deep that suddenly he was playing Volleyball, Soccer and fighting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with the future starts of those sports. While watching the sunset at Ipanema beach, hiking at Tijuca Forrest and party at the best clubs in town, at the end of 2003 Francis had the insight of create a company under the framework of a unique concept: the blending of touristic activities in Rio de Janeiro with one-to-one training with sports stars.
Since then, we produced several tailored tours and dozens of training camps, which have helped develop a few non-profit sports in Brazil, such as wrestling, that has grown a lot since Rio Sports Tour conducts the foreign exchange program of the Brazilian Wrestling Federation.
