I am a Carioca (born and raised in Rio), who lived in Hamburg, Paris, London , and Manaus and since 1986 have been back to my home city. Graduated in Tourism, I have worked as head concierge at a 5 star hotel when I became the second President of the Golden Keys Brazil (International Association of Concierges - I am a Clefs D'Or Honoray Member). I have also worked in the Brazilian Embassy in London, in the travel and hotel industries , and in leading global companies. I have decided to become a guide based not only on my previous work experiences but also on my interests in cultural life and high standard traveling. As a "Carioca da Gema" (born and raised in Rio) I have covered the streets and quarters of the city and its surroundings. I enjoy discovering unique and interesting places worth remembering. In this way I can plan and put together a most exciting tour of the Wonderful City.

Please inquire for larger groups. - I cannot pick you up from the port but I can meet you at the cruise ramp and walk to the vehicle.

    Marco was very helpful as one of my party was handicap and I was impressed with how he helped me and advised me. He was knowledgeable about the city and things we saw. My party of 3 people all praised him. We were very satisfied with using him.

    Superb. Marco who showed us around is a local and speaks English fluently. He is thoroughly knowledgeable is just about everything we needed to know. We drove around areas and saw places that a normal tour bus would never show you. He knows where to go to get the best views at Christ the Redeemer and sugar loaf. Friendly and easy get along with. Definitely recommend. More...
