Private Tours was founded in 1992 by Pedro Novak as a meaningful alternative to the impersonal canned bus tours that most visitors take. Pedro is a former engineer, navy officer and boy scout, he was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro. He is of Hungarian and Russian origin and speak seven languages: English, German, French, Hungarian, Spanish, Italian and of course Portuguese.
In 1991, after 18 years as a quality and inspection engineer, he became a Tour Guide leading bus trips to Porto Seguro (Bahia State), to the Historical Cities of Minas Gerais - Ouro Preto - and Iguaso Falls.
One year later he went on his own and began leading private tours and adventures to some of the most interesting places in Brazil -- places that are not offered by travel agencies, that tourists generally cannot go by themselves, or that require specialized knowledge.
All of his tours are highly personalized, can be customized, and accomodate no more than four people in a Jeep used in and around Rio, or in a station wagon, which is used for airport transfers, tours outside Rio, and tours beginning/ending in other cities.
No travel agency offers such individualized and unique services to so many destinations: Paraty, Porto Seguro - South Bahia , Tiradente, Manaus , Amazon , Pantanal and Bonito.

It is hard to believe that this isolated pristine beach is within the city limits! Most visitors to Rio do not have the opportunity to visit this beautiful beach where Michael Caine and Demi Moore filmed some memorable scenes for the movie "Blame it on Rio". Grumari Beach located 30 miles (45 km) west of the center of the city in a Environmental Protected Area (APA) is not part of the canned tours of Rio, but can be part of your memories!
