How It All Started
I’m Marcio, a Rio de Janeiro private tour guide with 20+ years of experience helping travelers explore the city safely, comfortably, and with a personal touch.
I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, and in 2005 I decided to turn my passion for my city into a full-time job. Since then, I’ve guided thousands of travelers through Rio’s famous landmarks and hidden gems — always focusing on safety, comfort and creating meaningful experiences.
What People Say About Me
People often describe me as calm, kind, flexible, patient, and highly professional. I love adapting the tour to each person’s rhythm and interests.
Oh — and yes, I’m a great driver too!
Your Ride
I drive a private, clean, air-conditioned vehicle with plenty of space and tinted windows. Ideal for Rio's warm climate.
“Marcio didn’t just guide us through Rio — he made us feel safe, welcome, and completely at ease from the very first moment. His calm energy and deep knowledge turned a regular day of sightseeing into something truly memorable.” — Emily R., London, UK
