Who we are and what can be offered
|
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
Iguaçú
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 transfers,
tours outside Rio, and tours or transfers beginning/ending
in other cities.
No
travel agency offers such individualized and unique services
to so many destinations. |
