Book it - you'll be glad you did - This tour was fantastic! I wish I could give more than 5 stars. We saw everything we wanted to see and a lot more. Our guide T (whose name I can't spell) was so kind and helpful and shared a the history behind what we were seeing. He turned us on to empadas, which we had never even heard of and were so delicious. I've taken a lot of day tours and he was the best guide by far. It was a totally enjoyable day.

Best tour in Rio - Really accommodating. Pickup at Clubmed. Really great and flexible. Didn't have much time in Rio and they really helped us and picked us up far from the city. Felt always safe and really interesting with a lot of knowledge. All guides are great. And so many great tips. Great insider tips with the Barock church and much much more. Perfect English.

Rio with friends - Excellent communication customizing our tour before our trip. Our tour guide Tiego was great. We visited Christ the Redeemer where Tiego stayed with us the entire time and pointed us in the right direction and lines. We also observed Sugar Loaf Mountain but didn't go up. Tiego was very informative on our driving tour of the city. We stopped to visit the Selaron Steps as well.

The best tour I’ve been into - I would like to thank Thiago for the amazing tour he gave us. Me and my family were delighted to see we had such a cool and great tour guide, as well as funny and friendly. He gave us in only one day a really good view of Rio de Janeiro. We are portuguese, and me and my mother had never been in here, and we understood the culture really well. Thiago took us to the most remarkable points of the city, such as Cristo Redentor. He is really understanding and he tries very hard for people to enjoy the tour. As a teenager who never likes to go on tours, I am pretty sure that this was the best one I’ve been into, because our guide made sure we were comfortable and enjoying the trip. Also, Thiago’s car was brand new and really clean. If you want to visit Rio, I am absolutely sure you should book a guided tour on this company, because it is the perfect mix beetween history, fun and important places of the city. Furthermore, I would like to thank Thiago for this amazing experience, and I am absolutely thrilled to reccomend this tour for all of you reading this. Assinado: Filipa Silva

Thiago Valladão is awesome!! - We had an absolutely incredible experience with Thiago! I visited with my wife, niece, and daughter, and he made it a truly special day for all of us. He started us off at Christ the Redeemer, making sure we had the perfect spots and timing to soak in those breathtaking views without any of the usual stress. From there, he took us through the stunning Parque Nacional da Tijuca, where his knowledge of the history, nature, and culture of Rio truly shone — he had fascinating stories and insights at every turn. What impressed us most was how Thiago made the experience enjoyable for everyone, from the adults to the younger ones in our group. His warm, welcoming personality instantly puts you at ease, and his enthusiasm for showing off his city is genuinely infectious. If you’re visiting Rio with family, don’t hesitate — book ThiagoValladão, He’s the best guide we’ve ever had!

Wonderful tour guide, wonderful tour - We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Thiago from Confortour. He was full of information about Brasil and Rio... Historic, cultural, environmental, social, and just random, fun facts. He helped us not just see and do a variety of things, but helped us learn about Brasil while engaging in the activities. He was truly wonderful. Many thanks, Thiago, for an experience our family will never forget!

Great communication with driver - Be prepared for chaos at the port of Santos Brazil. It was a little confusing. Our driver was in contact with us at all times which was a big plus!!! There were people there at the port that seemed like they were trying to get us to take another vehicle but our driver said not to get into any vehicle. He provided us with a picture of his license plate so we would know which vehicle was his. Once we were picked up it was a smooth ride to the hotel in São Paulo.

Best Rio Experience . Ask for Vitor! - Vitor was our guide and honestly made the whole experience seamless. He reached out a couple of days in advance, gave great recommendations, and made sure we even got a backstage Carnival experience, which was incredible. The SUV was very comfortable, and everything was well organized from start to finish. What really stood out was how he went above and beyond. He felt more like a friend than a guide, even helping us negotiate while street shopping. Highly recommend this agency, and definitely ask for Vitor if you can.

A perfect day in Rio! - We had an amazing day! Weather was fantastic of course but our driver and guide did a great job. Never felt rushed. Everything worked out as intended and we got to see everything we wanted to see. :) Joao speaks really good english and to my delight also German. We had a great and fun day in Rio. Thanks so much for setting it all up. :)

A real expert with excellent English - Our bilingual guide Vitor did an amazing job matching our list of desired experiences with his expertise, and managed to delight us with places and things we never knew we wanted to see! Vitor is a real expert. (His car is very comfortable as well.) And he found us a great restaurant too. Highly recommended.
