I'm Marcos V., your private tour guide in Rio De Janeiro
Guide #11397
Hi, I'm 42 years old and I have been working as a licensed tour guide for more than 12 years, believe it or not, I still love it! I was born in Rio de Janeiro, however, I lived in Europe in different countries for about 11 years which made me understand not only what a traveler expects but also how to read people's intentions and differences. At the moment I am driving a spacious Mitsubishi Pajero 7 sits but I can hire a van for big groups. I feel very grateful to be able to impact visitors on their holiday, for me, this is a very special moment and as a well-traveled guy, I take it very seriously. Being a tour guide can be very challenging, tailoring up different guests' expectations makes every day different. I believe that if you found this website it's because you are looking for a unique experience and you came to the right place. I enjoy building the tour differently from the majority including many hidden spots and not-so-touristic areas. I invite you to an unforgettable holiday in our city providing transportation, information, professional skills, and friendship. My tours can be designed according to your specific desires or, in case you are not certain of what to do, I encourage you to browse my pre-plan tours and get more ideas from my listing tour section. I look forward to hearing from you so that we can create your perfect day in Rio de Janeiro / The Marvelous City! Brazil and south America licensed guide credential number. 19.015746.96-0

Marcos is the best! He knew exactly how to get around in Rio, get to the various locations quickly and efficiently but never rushed us. We had a wonderful experience and he had such good insight into the Rio area. This tour is really worth it. You will see so much of Rio in 7 hours. Obrigado Marcos!

We loved this tour with Marcos! He was very welcoming of our two-year old daughter and happy to move at her pace. He loved showing her the monkeys in the forest and the capybaras and crocodiles on the boat. This is such a unique tour with the pontoon ride and chance to explore the little island. Marcos ordered us an amazing picanha and pastels for lunch to give us the...

If you want to feel like you're getting the VIP treatment, book Marcos! He knows exactly where to go and where to stand in line so you get the best seats on the train. He picked us up at our AirBnB and we had an incredible day. He even took us to a little shop with what he said was the best pao de queijo (we agree!) and we also had the acai there that was the best we had....
