Great tour of Rio! - Fond memories of Rio! It was well organized, flexible to do the main things we wanted, and it was so informative with Arthur.
We joined them as a family of 3, really enjoyed the experience, highly recommend it.

Magical Day in Rio - Our tour was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. My son and I went to Rio for a mother son high school graduation trip. Thanks to Pirates Rio, we had the chance to experience all of the city’s most famous sites as VIPs all in one day. We felt like insiders as we explored throughout the day, often enjoying these destinations away from crowds thanks to our tour guide’s experience and insight. And did I mention the photos? I will treasure them and the memories forever. An emphatic 10/10 and well worth the money for a private tour.

An unforgettable day in Rio! - Many thanks to Arthur and his driver Jorge for a fantastic, eventful day in Rio! Arthur took our wishes into account even before we planned the tour. Even last-minute changes to the sightseeing hotspots were no problem for him. He gave us all the information we needed to know about the city and its history. He answered all our questions professionally. The best thing was that he knows someone everywhere, so we were able to avoid the long lines at the gondola to Sugarloaf Mountain, for example. We had a lot of fun together and will never forget this day in this incredibly impressive, beautiful city. Thank you very much again!!!!

Private tour of the wonderful city - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Our stay in Rio is really short, and the tour with Arthur made it worth while! If you are looking for a quick yet money worth trip in Rio, then Arthur is the one! We may not have been the best guests to tour with since we ask little to no questions, since we rather savor the moment both the information and the view. Every money spent are worth it. Arthur helped us to transfer with our sudden change of hotel and we appreciate it a lot! There are a lot of things that Arthur helped us out when we asked him and we know that is out of his role as our tour guide but he never once hesitated to help us out. George, our driver for the day, has been really kind and friendly. Thank you again!
