Since 2005, I’ve been guiding travelers from all over the world through Rio de Janeiro.
“Marcio gave us the chance to truly experience and discover everything Rio has to offer. He went far beyond the obvious and predictable. Every part of the tour was memorable and worthwhile. He shared so much knowledge and made great use of our time. We can truly say we were warmly welcomed and cared for by him in the Marvelous City.
All that’s left is to say thank you.
Thank you so much for the wonderful company.” — rborgescarlos

My husband and I only had a few days to spend in Rio. Marcio was our private tour guide for two days. We told him a few places we wanted to see and he knew of some other hidden gems to show us. He knew what time of day to visit Christ The Redeemer and Sugar Loaf so we could avoid the crowds to have a more enjoyable visit.
