- Transportation via Citroen C3 Aircross 7-seater 2025.
- Pick-up and drop-off in locations in the south or central zone of Rio (if starting from Barra, start time of the tour will need to be 1h earlier).

For more than 4 adults over 1.60 meters, I rent a van with a driver (at an extra cost), so that the tour is extremely comfortable for everyone.

Chinese View does not open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, so I will take you to another special viewpoint to replace it.
Two Brothers Park do not open on Monday, so I will replace this attraction with another viewpoint.
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!
