Super surprise gem for Americans - I had an extra day at the end of my business trip and tried to make the most of it despite the terrible weather that caused another operator to cancel a similar tour. Ederson was the guide and the owner of Trip in Rio. Since the others on this tour had postponed due to the weather, he contacted me and made sure I still got to see the sites. He personally drove me to these places and was the best guide I've ever had. He knows everybody - all of the drivers, facility staff, vendors. AMAZING! A very friendly and popular guy. His English speaking was on the level of native - very helpful for an American. He made sure my tour was wonderful. I will definitely book with Trip in Rio next time when I bring my wife.

Memorable experience! - The views were beautiful!!! One of the bonuses of our experience was all the great pictures taken by our wonderful tour guide, Eddie. The Christ the Redeemer statue was all I hoped it would be. We also saw monkies and a great gift shop. The items in there are of great quality. The Selaron steps are beautiful! Eddie shared the history and significance of that wonderful site...amazing!! Sugarloaf was not only amazing but has great history. It's a great place for pictures. Our tour guide was one of the best photographers around. He captured some beautiful memories for us. I would highly recommend him! He made the trip truly memorable.

A tour of Rio de Janeiro - Our guide for the 6 hours was Ederson Oliveira, and he was very professional and took great care of us. The process of booking him and how he interacted with us pre our arrival to Rio was second to none. He was friendly and helpful and was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic day in Rio. We leant a lot about the history and culture while we visited the top attractions in Rio. We can highly recommend Ederson.

Rio de Janeiro sites to see! - Ederson is a wonderful tour guide. He was exemplary. Knowledgeable of the sites, history and country as a whole. I felt safe and thoroughly entertained with the whole experience. My first time in Brazil and he definitely made me feel like family. He went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Ederson to be your guide and friend. I look forward to seeing him again in the near future.

Rio in the raino... - Jabier gave us a great tour despite on-and-off rain blocking some views of this magnificent city. He was able to show the city at its almost-best, knew lots of history and anecdotes, and was fun and accommodating. We'd definitely use him again for a future visit!
