Our Rio de Janeiro private and small group guided tours are designed to demystify this beautiful, vibrant city. Experiencing Rio with a private guide offers you a personalized and immersive journey, allowing you to delve deeper into the city's culture, history, and hidden gems, all while enjoying a tailored itinerary that caters to your interests and preferences. 

Led by architects, journalists, and a range of other local experts, we offer myriad private and small group Rio tours, from our tour of Copacabana and the Christ the Redeemer Statue to a Bossa Nova Tour of Rio. Perhaps our best tour for a general introduction is our History of Rio City Tour, which takes place in the historic downtown area and traces Rio's history from colonialism to modern politics. For first-time visitors, our Welcome to Rio Orientation is invaluable. We'll meet you in your hotel (or rented apartment) and spend two hours together, going through maps, calendar of events, or other local insight. We can also organize a wide range of Private tours of Rio, including excursions outside the city to places like Paraty, where we have experts waiting to share the rich history of gold and colonialism in this picturesque town. We're also deep into the local life in Rio. A great neighborhood stroll for getting the vibe of the city is our Santa Teresa Neighborhood Tour with Bondinho Ride, which explores this vibrant neighborhood during the day, or our Rio de Janeiro Nightlife Tour with Samba Dance in Lapa.
