Off the beaten track discovering Rio's gems - We opted for a private tour with Monica and had a great day. I will not dwell on the visit of the Maracana whose name alone is legendary and which will delight lovers of the round ball 😉. Next, place in Santa Teresa, an ancient, picturesque and artistic district clearly inspired by the countries of southern Europe ... it also contains beautiful street art frescoes. This stage culminates with the famous Salaron staircase. Departure then to the historic center, where Monica's explanations undoubtedly enrich the visit. The library is the "highlight": splendid. Finally we end the 6h day with a gem that I will not tell you anything about to encourage you to choose this tour without hesitation!

An authentic and unforgettable experience in Rio de Janeiro thanks to an exceptional guide - An authentic and unforgettable experience in Rio de Janeiro thanks to an exceptional guide
During our recent trip to Rio de Janeiro, we were lucky enough to be accompanied by a professional guide and prepared like few, a real pearl in the panorama of tour guides. Born in Brazil to Italian parents and with a consolidated experience also as a guide in Italy, she has a broad culture and a 360-degree historical vision, very different from that, often limited, of many local guides who focus only on Brazilian history.
We visited the main attractions of Rio, including:
• Christ the Redeemer (Christ the Redeemer)
• Sugar Loaf (Pão de Açúcar)
• Metropolitan Cathedral of San Sebastiano
• Iconic beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema
However, the most exciting and engaging moment of our tour was the tour of the historic district of Santa Teresa. The guide immersed us in a unique atmosphere, taking us beyond the simple sightseeing: he made us experience the beating heart of Rio, between art, culture, colonial architecture and authentic views. His passionate explanations, full of details and anecdotes, literally transported us into the history and soul of the place.
Special thanks also go to our driver, Cleyton, a person of great kindness, education and professionalism. Always attentive to the needs of passengers, it made our movements comfortable and safe. A rare and precious figure.
In summary, an experience that goes beyond traditional tourism, enriched by a guide with an extra gear, capable of transmitting emotions, knowledge and love for your country.

Women on holiday in Rio!!! - We are 6 friends touring Brazil and we arrived in Rio greeted by rain and fog!!! Fortunately we met our Italian-Brazilian guide Monica who managed, with her professionalism, experience and great preparation, to introduce us to this wonderful city! In addition to the tourist places of great emotional impact such as Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf, Monica accompanied us in the historic center and makes us discover a very particular and characteristic neighborhood as is that of Santa Teresa with its colorful streets of murals and typical Brazilian trams.
Thanks Monica not only a fantastic guide and deep culture but also a positive woman and great empathy.

Unusual sight of Rio - We saw things we would not normally see in Rio and we went places where we would not normally go. Our guide was very informative and answered all of our questions with sincere interest.
