Private & Tailor-Made Experiences in Rio
Private, tailor-made experiences hosted by Marcelo Costa — a Carioca guide who builds each day around the people travelling with him.
Why travel with Marcelo
Most visitors see the same five places in the same three days. The difference is not the list — it is the order, the timing and the person telling the story.
Marcelo was born and raised in Rio. Each day is shaped by how the city feels that morning — weather, light, crowds and your energy.
No mixed groups, no fixed departure times. Only the people you are travelling with, at the pace that suits you.
First visit or fifth, family or solo, food-led or football-led. The itinerary follows your interests, not a catalogue.
Where to go, when to go, and what to skip. You travel relaxed, with someone who reads the city for you.
Experiences
Starting points, not packages. Every experience is private and reshaped around your group.
The icons, stories and rhythm of the city — without wasting a day.
Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, the historic centre and the beaches, arranged around the weather, the light and the crowds instead of a fixed script.
Neighborhoods, habits and places that reveal everyday Carioca life.
Less monument, more city. How Cariocas move, eat, meet and unwind — in the neighbourhoods where daily life actually happens.
Discover Brazil's diversity through flavors, stories and local tables.
Brazil is not one cuisine. Rio is where its regions meet — and tasting them in the right order changes how you understand the country.
