Amazing time - My friend and I did this tour back in November and it was perfect. I love that we got to choose what we wanted to see and got to experience more of Rio than a regular tour. My absolute favorite was getting to go to market and try all these different fruits we have never tried before

Luis is the best guide! - Luis was super accommodating and friendly. He made sure we checked every item off our list and didn’t miss anything. Luis was born and raised in Rio so he was an expert tour guide. He made our trip memorable. Very thankful for him.

Perfect tour of Rio! - We booked a full day tour with Luis, and added a half-day as well. It was well worth it! Luis was fantastic. We saw the Christ Redeemer statue, enjoyed a farmers market, the botanical gardens, some beautiful viewpoints, and more. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend this experience.

I'm FROM Rio de Janeiro and this tour was outstanding! - I'm from Rio de Janeiro and took my boyfriend, who's Italian, to this tour - and both of us were equally impressed! Luis knows not only the major history of the town and places, but the nuanced details entrenched in the local culture, which sometimes residents never give a second thought. He explains how current behaviors and traditions arose from the societal structure in the Colonial days and much, much more.
Not only that, he has a whole pre-set dynamics with locals in the markets he takes us to (our local "farmers markets"), and goes the extra mile to make sure the experience is great, adapting each step of the tour based on the customer's wants and needs.
Finally, he also explores off-the-beaten-path places that you wouldn't see in more popular tours.
10s across the board for Luis! Would 100% go on another tour with him!

Amazing tour with Luis - Luis is an amzing tour guide. He accommodated our needs and tailored our tour so that we can enjoy the beauty and culture of Rio. We traveled with seniors and a toddler, but Luis has made our trip very seamless.
Since we all are foodies, Luis took us to hidden gems in Rio and we got to try delicious local food during our trip. We also got a chance to experience everything Rio has to offer in such a short time.
I really recommend Luis and again, thank you for making our trip a memorable one.

A day in Rio - Luis was an amazing tour guide! I had a blast going up to Christ the Redeemer, touring Santa Teresa, and visiting the National Park in Rio. The places we stopped for Pao de Quiejo and Feijoada were intimate and charming and the food was unbelievably good even if the Caiprinha’s were a bit dangerous.
What stuck out to me about touring with Luis wasn’t just the sights and the meals, but the depth of knowledge he had about everything. It’s one thing to see Rio but to hear detailed stories about every little facet of culture and how it came to be was truly fascinating. His English was flawless and I got a huge kick out of being able to converse with him about the culture of Brazilians and their opinions and ideologies and how those were shaped by Brazil’s history.
I would highly recommend him!

Highly recommended - HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Luis was a fantastic tour guide. From the beginning he shared his extensive knowledge of the not only the history of Rio, but how everything connects. He gave us time for tourist shopping, photos, and told us exactly where the best photos would be taken. The travel and tickets were all seamless. We even went to a local restaurant for a delicious traditional lunch. At the lunch - he stepped out quickly to get us his favorite cheese bread (it was amazing).
All in all, we were very impressed by Luis' knowledge of his country's history, we felt safe, and we enjoyed the entire day.
Thank you again, Luis!!!

A Short and Sweet introduction in Rio. - I took 2 tours with Luis, and both of them were stunning. I promise you, the customer, he will make you enjoy Rio and all it has to offer! You ask him what activies you want to do, and he will make it happen.
One the first day of tour, me and him covered the must see sights of Rio (Christ the Redeemer, Santa Teresa, mountains, etc.). Side note: though your iternary may be different. All the sights were amazing and knows when to visit them to give you the best opportunities to observe all of them. Also, along the way we did try some street food and fruits native only to Brazil, which were all amazing.
On our second day and my last day Rio, Luis took me hiking along various place to look at nature and viewpoints of Rio. All the nature and viewpoints were stunning and breathtaking. Then we went to see the soccer stadium briefly and went to lunch at a local spot, which was delicious. Lastly, he took me to the city across the bay where tourists do not visit that often. We looked at some amazing architecture, which looked strange, but represented the surroundings of Rio. Lastly, before he took me to the airport, we looked at the sunset of Rio to end my vacation on a very good high note.
Luis will take care of you 100% and to reiterate, he will make your itinerary happen. Until next time, thank you Luis for a wonderful time in Rio!
