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

This tour covers all the main attractions and many hidden gems, perfect for a short visit, cruise stops and layovers. The best time to avoid the crowd and get the best pictures is very early in the morning Christ the Redeemer Our first attraction is one of the 7 new wonders, a symbol of Rio and Brazil. Next, Santa Teresa is a neighborhood filled with colonial buildings and a rich history. Apart from Its original architecture, there are some authentic shops from local artists, and is possible to taste the Brazilian cheese bread and the Açai berry juice. Selarón Steps is the most beautiful stairs in Rio, a stunning piece of art made by the Chilean plastic artist Jorge Selarón. After I will show you The Metropolitan San Sebastian Cathedral At last Sugar Loaf The ride up on the cable car is breathtaking and the view is just unforgettable. I will give you lots of suggestions for restaurants.
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!
Marcos was fabulous. Special treatment everywhere we went, car very comfortable for 5 of us. Happy to change our itinerary based on requests. Easy communication and lovely personality. First time using Tours by Locals and it exceeded our expectations!
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. It was incredible! After Sugarloaf, we mentioned that we'd like a little snack, and he asked if we had heard of pastels (we had, they're kind of like fried empanadas) and he took us to a little place that was the best according to Anthony Bourdain. Eating them, with a can of cold coke, on the waterfront was the perfect ending to an exceptional day. The next time I hear someone is going to Rio, I would tell them to book Marcos!
Marcos is SPECTACULAR!!!! We used him last year and strongly recommend him if you want to see Rio. Marcos is extremely flexible, and will adjust to your needs. My wife had a knee problem, he just adjusted, but ALL of us still had a great tour. Thank you Marcos.
