Hi and welcome! My name is Alan, I am 43 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 guide by EMBRATUR, the Brazilian Institute of Tourism, and have been a private tour guide since 2013, having carried out hundreds of private tours, and have become more and more in love with my city and with my job as a Tour Guide. Rio de Janeiro is a city with a lot to offer: nature, culture, gastronomy and much more. My tours can be customized according to your needs. What I look for in each tour, is to provide you with an experience that you will remember for many years to come!

Hello! It´s a pleasure to have you here! I hope we have a great time together, exploring what Niterói has to offer! Many people who comes to visit Rio, forget about his sister. Yes! Niterói would be something like, New York and New Jersey? Both cities are connected by a bridge and have a lot of history background together trough time. From beaches to visit and hills to hike, to historical museums and traditional restaurants! Nature and culture come together in a Feijoada like dish, to offer you many possibilities of entertainment and good momments to share! It will make your head spin, just like having a caipirinha! We can go for several hiking trails and visit tons of beautiful landscapes! Are you into museums?Architecture? I got you cover! And why not book a paragliding tandem flight to be the cherry on top of your trip? Or maybe an outrigger canoe ride! Or just chill on a nice beach! Let me show you a Niterói - RJ from a local perspective!

Best start in Rio

We took this tour on the first morning in Rio, and it was a perfect start. Marcelo gave us an excellent overview of the city, showing us perspectives you wouldn’t find by yourself, and made us feel comfortable in Rio. His English is excellent, and he is passionate about his city. After this intro, we continued on our own, as we were confident that we are in safe areas. Obrigado, Marcelo!

Dear Mr. Drago's and family, Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure showing Rio to you. I am really happy that you enjoyed the Rio Photographic Tour. Best wishes.

Amazing views, amazing experience!

So greta i found this tour! It is indeed private, i was picked up from the hotel and we were pretty early at the spot to get the best place to see the sunrise. The views are amazing, also i've got to know so many different facts about Rio (we had much time while waiting for the sunrise). Really appreciate this opportunity and great company!
