Alan D.

Hi and welcome! My name is Alan, I am 44 years old, and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. Having been to 35 countries on all the continents of the world, and having lived in Australia, Holland, Israel and Argentina, I have had the opportunity to be in touch with different cultures and languages - and this grew my desire to show my city, Rio de Janeiro, to tourists. I am a licensed tour guide in Rio by EMBRATUR, the Brazilian Institute of Tourism, and have been a private guide in Rio de Janeiro since 2013, having carried out hundreds of private tours of Rio, and have become more and more in love with my city and with my job as a Rio Tour Guide. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and have a BA in Social Communication. When I'm not guiding, I enjoy writing, reading, spirituality, hiking and studying languages (I also speak intermediate French). In my private tours in Rio de Janeiro I use a 7-seater car (including me as rio de janeiro driver guide), and my motivation is to be flexible and to offer you tailor-made tours in Rio, customized to your needs and desires, optimizing your time in Rio. What I look for in each tour, is to provide you with an experience that you will remember for many years to come!

Flavio T.

Welcome to Rio de Janeiro! Come fall in love with this marvelous city just like I did since I was a kid!! My name is Flavio, and I was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. I am a Gastronomy Graduate and since 2002, I have worked in restaurants and hotels around the world (USA, France, Spain, Curaçao), always welcoming, serving, and in contact with people from all over the world. I am passionate about learning and knowing about stories, traditions, cultures, and obviously gastronomy, which makes me want to share everything that is best about our city. In addition to the usual touristic attractions, we can arrange personalized tours to places not all tourists know or think of going to, breaking taboos and showing various facets of the city. The tours are done with my own car, safe and comfortable. Let me surprise you what Rio has to offer you!!

Luis D.

My name is Luis and I was born and raised in Rio. I believe I have always been a tour guide. I use to bug my kindergarten teacher to do show-and-tell every other day. Now every day is show-and-tell! I get to show off my city, and take people to see places I like to go and do the things that I love to do. In 2003, after living for 8 years abroad, I've decided to come back to my hometown, and for the past 17 years I've been working full time as a licensed and accredited private tour guide in Rio. I'm quite fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and have a degree in tourism and an MBA in environmental management.

Daniel F.

Olá! I’m Daniel, and I’m thrilled to guide you through the wild heart of Rio de Janeiro -Tijuca National Park. Born and raised in Rio, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the mountains, forests, and waterfalls that embrace our city. While the beaches often steal the spotlight, it’s in the lush green trails of the Tijuca Forest that Rio’s true magic comes alive. From the roar of hidden waterfalls to the call of capuchin monkeys echoing through the trees, this is where the city breathes. I studied Business Administration and Geography, and over the years, I’ve dedicated myself to exploring, protecting, and sharing the natural wonders of the Atlantic Rainforest. I’m a certified ecological tour guide, and whether we’re hiking up Pedra Bonita, exploring ancient caves, cooling off under the Taunay Waterfall, or discovering secret beaches, my goal is to connect you with the powerful nature that thrives just minutes from the urban buzz. Tijuca Forest isn’t just the largest urban rainforest in the world—it’s a living, breathing story of resilience, beauty, and adventure. And the best part? We can mix eco-tours with other natural attractions around Rio, like mangroves teeming with caimans and capybaras, or take a dip in a secluded beach far from the crowds. Let’s explore a side of Rio most visitors never see—and create unforgettable memories along the way.

Akin A.

Passionate about exploring the world through the eyes of those who live, interact, and truly experience the essence of the city. A nomadic traveler since the age of 17, he seeks to see each destination as a local, believing that only this way can one truly capture the inner and outer beauty of a place. His goal is to understand the soul of the environment and fully immerse himself in the authenticity and cultural richness of each experience. My goal is not just to be your guide, but a friend who shares with you the charm and beauty of the places we explore together. I want to reveal the true essence of the city—its life, routine, and daily rhythm—whether we’re walking, running, cycling, driving, or simply pausing to watch the world go by.

I am a tourist guide in the land of Iguaçu Falls, I have an inbound Tour Guide team and I work with private transport and tour guide services, all the free-lance guides that I have partnerships with are legalized with federal registration. My history with tourism begins in 1990 when I decided by chance to start working in this area, I really liked it and subsequently decided to take the Tourist Guide course offered by the federal government, subsequently I graduated in tourism at a local university, then graduated in administration . I like this area because it gives us the opportunity to meet people from different cultures every day, learning a lot from them, as well as being a dynamic and surprising job, as well as the satisfaction of showing our clients the countless attractions in our city and region.

“A great travel experience, despite the bad weather.”

Pierre was incredibly helpful throughout the trip. He assisted with purchasing tickets, explained the history and significance of the places we visited, and helped us solve problems—even when the weather wasn’t great and the traffic was heavy. When we asked him to stop by a supermarket so we could pick up a few things, he kindly accommodated our request without hesitation.

Pierre S.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! I'm truly happy to hear that I made your trip smoother and more enjoyable, even with the challenges along the way. Going the extra mile for my guests is part of what I love to do, and it's great to know my support and flexibility made a difference. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable experience!

“Absolutely perfect in every respect”

Guilherme was the kind of person you feel you've known all you life he's warm, knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best guides we've ever had. Would recommend going out of your way to stop in Rio to see Guilherme, which is what we did on our way to Buenos Aires from Washington DC. Arriving in Rio at 9 AM, participating in the Tour then heading back to the airport to catch a flight to Buenos Aires. Guilherme provided a fantastic tour of Rio at our pace and convenience, taking the long way around town so we could get a better look at things.

“Sightseeing in Rio”

My husband and I booked a day tour of Rio with Pierre. He was very prompt and met us at our hotel. Pierre was very flexible with the itinerary and tailored the tour to what we wanted to see. Pierre is very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about beautiful Rio. He is very proud of his city. Pierre took great care to make sure we enjoyed the sights of Rio. We certainly enjoyed our tour with him and the driver. We had a great day! Thanks Pierre!

Pierre S.

We’re very happy to hear that you were satisfied with the service you booked. Our greatest reward is the satisfaction of our clients. There are many more tours in Rio de Janeiro that we’d love to show you. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Marvelous City to explore even more with us!
