One of the best private tour experience I have had - We were introduced to Marcio through the concierge at our hotel and it proved to be a great decision. We travel a lot and always like to go off the beaten path and Marcio did exactly that. We visited the standard tourist locations, but Marcio took us to the little know locations with incomparable views. We got to see what Rio had to offer for international tourists but also views only a local would know. If you are short on time or if you are looking for a private, tailored tour experience. I would recommend you reach out to him. I would definitely have him tour us again the next time we are back in Rio. Thank you Marcio for making our Rio experience unforgettable.

Great day in Rio de Janeiro - We had the chance to meet Màrcio who was an expert and kind guide through this beautiful city that is Rio de Janeiro. Despite the time constraints, we managed to see the main attractions and have a great lunch. Really recommended!

Private tour of Rio - Marcio is amazing! He was prompt with picking us up at our hotel. He had a plan with activities to do and was agile with a last minute request with a helicopter tour of Christ the Redeemer and was able to get us in right away. With his connections, he was able to skip the lines for Sugar Loaf and other sites we wanted to see. His car was clean and we felt entirely safe the whole time. He is knowledgeable of the city and helped us with language barriers. To be a guide, you need patience and he was patient. Thank you Marcio! We had so much fun!

We expected more from such a high rated tour guide. - Originally we wanted to book another tour guide who was sadly totally booked out that day we wanted to do the tour. Marcio is a kind and extremely well connected in Rio de Janeiro. He managed to skip all the lines which was great and he drove us around. Unfortunately, we’re a bit disappointed overall. We met at 8am at the hotel to visit Christ the Redeemer statue. Which was too late, we arrived at the train station to take us to the statue at 9am and there was already a big crowd waiting for the train to take them to the statue. We said a couple of times in advance that we could gladly meet earlier in the morning in order to be the first ones to see the statue. We felt he never really cared about our wishes either. He argued it’s better to split the tour into two half days, but we wanted to do the tour in one day to visit the statue, sugar loaf, selaron steps and the metropolitan cathedral. We couldn’t even visit the cathedral, because it was prohibited to park the car there. We visited each spot very briefly and he couldn’t provide us much with the history and architecture. We visited the sugar loaf in the afternoon but Marcio wanted to leave earlier. We wanted to stay and watch the breathtaking sunset, but we still had to pay him 1,375.00 BRL (250.- USD including 5% credit card fees) and had to go down again to his car where he left his payment terminal. Furthermore, Marcio was very determined to book us again for a sightseeing tour through the Tijuca forest for a reduced price. During our tour he was also more interested in my opinion regarding his new website as well recommendations. He also wanted to take lots of Selfies with him and us. To conclude, it was overpriced for what we got.
