discover the best of rio and its hidden gems
with our private tours

  We were extremely concerned about traveling to Rio because I we have heard from everyone and anyone is that you would be mugged! Let me clear the air on... read more that, it will be “
muggy” due to humidity depending on the time of year, but we felt safe the entire time we were there and our guides ensured our concerns and helped us bust the myth! Once the tour was booked, Marcelo reached out to confirm the tour and shared some information and take back any requests. Before we left for Rio, Wagner reached out to confirm he was our guide and that he would be there to get us upon arrival. We arrived early into Brazil and were through customs and out the door in record time! Through whats app we informed Wagner & he gave us more instructions on where to go and how to get there. Constant communications were great and in no time, they arrived to pick us up, early and ready to go. I have to give a shout out to Jun (our driver) as he was an ace behind the wheel, getting us safely and surely through the narrow and winding streets of Rio and adjusted the dropped off’s/pick up/s based on places that would make it easiest for my wife who has bad knees and this was greatly appreciated. Wagner had a wealth of knowledge and gave us pointers and information throughout the tour. We saw many wonders and were able to close the day with a carnival experience tour the week before the actual carnival! This was one of the highlights of our tour and we are grateful for the experiences. We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to get in and rest up for our flight. Wagner checked on us to ensure we made it to the gate on time; once again great communicators. We cannot recommend this company enough; our thanks to the team for making this special day happen.

  Just finished the private tour today with Rafael. My wife and I were extremely pleased. First Rafael is a knowledgeable and cool guy to spend the day with. We got... read more a ton of information, saw all the things we wanted to see with expert navigation through the various sites without stress or rush. It’s was at our pace and adjusted as we desired. I would highly recommend the tour. We would not have changed a thing!

  I had an amazing time with Fabiana and Marcelo. They took me to Christ the Redeemer by train, Sugar Loaf Mountain (recommend getting the fast pass!), Tijuca National Park on... read more the first day - with a final stop in town at the Portuguese Cabinet of Reading (only open during the week). I enjoyed myself with them so much that I booked a half day with them the following day to see more of Rio’s delights. They are a fantastic duo - so kind, easy going, knowledgeable and they have a great sense of humour. I highly recommend doing a private tour with them. Thank you Fabiana and Marcelo!

  Marcelo was awesome. Perfect English, helpful with other things other than his tour. Rio tourist sites are busy but Marcelo planned the day to pick quieter times and skip the... read more line.
Great lunch at local restaurant.

Just book with Marcelo- it is worth the cost

  A fantastic tour!! The guide is a great guy, very knowledgeable, and we had a really good time seeing all the sights! So much was packed into the day -... read more brilliant!

  Marcelo and his team were extremely flexible and accommodating for this fantastic day outing. Rafael was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about Brazil and Rio deJaneiro. He and Junior (our... read more fantastic driver) helped us navigate around this beautiful city and surrounding areas. They make me want to visit again soon!!

  I strongly recommend this company for those who want to have a tailored sightseeing on their own without time constrain and adapting to other fellow tourists.
We had time... read more for every major iconic sight and when we wanted to extend our stay on the sugarloaf to view the night lights of Rio it was possible without any problem. We felt, we were guided by professional locals, not a faceless company.

  I had a perfect experience beyond what I expected! Marcelo and Fabiana were great! I only had a day in Rio to experience all I could. We hit the highlights... read more of Rio plus peeked at neighborhoods, spent time outdoors and city center. They took me to a locals hangout for amazing food. We even had time to add the “Carnaval Experience” . so much fun. Marcelo and Fabiana gave the perfect amount of history, answered questions and were more than willing to help with travel advice even outside of our time together. Something else to mention their deliberate following of Covid protocols made me feel very safe. I can’t say enough praise for this perfect day in my trip to Brazil!

  Rafa is a nice and knowlegible guy. He knows many about the history of the city. We designed the tour route together and do as we expect.
Only pity is... read more that we did it on a Sunday, most of the spots are closed. I would recommend to do the tour on a weekday so that you can get in those places to see inside.
