My name is Madson Araújo and I am a licensed private tour guide in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I started serving as a tour guide in 2004 and I quickly developed a strong following providing private tours. I have provided private tours to over three thousand people from a wide variety of nationalities.
My clientele has included representatives from the National Geographic, Lonely Planet, Footprint and French travel guide Petit Futé. My tours have also been featured on French TV France 3.
Providing a great private tour is a very individual and personal endeavor requiring the ability to work with all types of people seeking to learn and do a wide variety of activities while in Rio de Janeiro. With all modesty, I believe I provide a very friendly, courteous and professional service.
I can drive you and guide you to the following places:
Corcovado (Christ Statue)
Sugar Loaf
Maracanã Football Stadium (Soccer)
Copacabana & Ipanema beaches
Downtown / businessdistrict
Santa Teresa (250-year old neighborhood)
