I lived every single moment - Our 4 day tour of Rio with the coolest guide ever was amazing! We hit all the iconic spots like Pão de Açúcar, Morro dos Irmãos, Parque do Tijuca, Cristo Redentor, and even explored the vibrant Vidigal favela. Our guide, Eduardo, knew all the best local eats that were both cheap and delicious. It felt like hanging out with a friend who knew all the secret spots. Vidigal was eye-opening, but Eduardo kept it real and showed us the positive side of favela life. The mix of iconic sights, local eats, and favela vibes made our Rio experience unforgettable. Eduardo's photography skills added magic to the trip, capturing each moment in famous places. The memories became even more special with his artistic touch. Already dreaming of my next Brazil adventure, and I'll definitely be reaching out to Eduardo again. Thanks for making our trip one for the books! 🌟🇧🇷

Wonderful tour with a great guide - Eduardo is the BEST! He loves his job and it shows. We saw so much, including a sloth. I was traveling alone for business and he made me feel welcome. Plus the photos he took led to me meeting the person I married-you can’t beat that. :)
