Meet your guide

DanielGontijo.

Daniel Gontijo is a Rio native — born and raised in the city, leading tours in three languages, and knowing every viewpoint, every community, and every detail that turns a day trip into a lasting memory.

Gontijo Tour was built around a single idea: private-only tours in Rio de Janeiro, with small groups, seamless logistics handled end to end, and one dedicated guide throughout.

Rio doesn't explain itself. You live it. Let me show you.
