Hi and welcome! My name is Alan, I am 44 years old, was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. Having been to 35 countries on all the continents of the world, 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, I use a 7-seater car (including me as driver guide), and my motivation is to be flexible and to offer you tailor-made tours, 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!

ATTENTION: For cruise ship groups, a choice must be made between visiting Christ OR Sugarloaf, due to the limitations caused by the renovation work at the Christ statue. Consequently, the Dona Marta viewpoint would serve as the substitute attraction. If you have only one day to explore Rio and want an itinerary that encompasses as much as possible in 9 hours, this tour is the best choice! We will cover the main attractions of Rio and I will give you an inside about life in Rio, the day by the day of locals and the culture in general. Since beaches, mountains, bay, lagoons, forests, hikes, waterfalls, soccer, nightlife, history, gastronomy, art, museums to one of the seven wonders of the world, Christ, Rio de Janeiro has it all! It is a unique city, set in the midst of the mountains and the Atlantic Sea, with a vibrant atmosphere and sport lifestyle, that delights its visitors. This tour can also be a customized tour. I want it to be a special day for you. Let's have an amazing day together!
Alan was such a personable, friendly person. We felt so comfortable with him right from meeting him in the Arena lobby. It was a fantastic tour, we got to see so much and enjoyed his company. He told us the agenda planned and wanted us to have our input too. We would recommend him anytime. It was a fantastic day.
We loved our tour with Alan. His English is perfect and he was so kind and very accommodating. He picked us up on time in a lovely car. Always taking care to open the doors and make sure we were safe. He is very knowledgeable and gave us so much information. We took his advice and purchased the skip the line tour tickets and that saved us hours of a lineup. I would highly recommend Alan.
We had a great experience! Alan exceeded our expectations and was a very knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide. He listened to what we were interested in and built it into our schedule and even surprised us with visiting areas off the beaten path. We really enjoyed learning the history of this beautiful country. We would highly recommend Alan!!
Our group of 4 had an amazing full day with ALAN. There was excellent communication before the date, He was very knowledgeable & very friendly. He brought us to have a lunch in a very Brazilian restaurant - delicious. He knew all the history of all the stops we went to. From start to finish he made the day excellent. Thank you Alan for all the Memories of Rio de Janeiro.
Our group of six adults recently had the pleasure of experiencing a full-day private tour of Rio de Janeiro, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the day was perfectly tailored to our interests, and our guide, Alan, truly made the experience unforgettable. Thank you for the best memories of Brazil!
Very enjoyable tour. Alan was very informative and helpful. We saw some unique things in Rio that our other tours hadn’t covered.
- Pick-up at your place in the south zone. - Christ Redeemer (by Paineiras station). - Santa Teresa. - Cathedral: iconic architecture of the metropolitan cathedral of Rio. - Selaron steps: beautiful tiles project made by the artist Selaron. - Stop for Lunch. - Sugarloaf. - Drop off at your place. ATTENTION: *Electric Escalator of Christ not operating Please be advised that the electric escalator (taken already inside the complex, right after the elevator) is not in operation due to renovation. So, the access from the elevator to the monument will only be possible via 90 steps up. If you think that's gonna be too hard for you, we recommend skipping this attraction. *Last minute request Last-minute requests run the risk of not securing tickets for Christ, and we cannot be held responsible for this. Please also be aware that, due to this renovation, visitor capacity has been reduced by 50%.

My SUV can accommodate 6 passengers: 4 adults + 2 persons up to 1.50m tall (or 5 adults in total). For more bigger groups, I rent a van with a driver (at an extra cost), so that the tour is extremely comfortable for everyone.
