Tour 100% tailored as promised - Tour was tailored to our interests and time frame. Guide had excellent English skills and much knowledge of Brazilian history. Very personable was willing to take photos and wait while we had coffee at the Copacabana Palace after touring Christ Redeemer statue. He also watched out for us and kept us safe when a scuffle among street vendors arose close by. Safe, calm and prudent driver at all times. Dropped us off at place we requested in order to shop in Ipanema after tour. Overall excellent experience thank you!

Rio afternoon tour - I had a lovely afternoon visiting Rio in spite of the rain. The tour guide Rodrigo was very nice, friendly and professional. He gave me a lot of information about the city and other parts of Brazil. I didn’t make it easy for him because I have been to Rio many times and have seen most things, but he managed to show me some spots and views I haven’t seen before and gave me a few ideas for future trips.

Great experience - Great time! Went to the tijuca forest, and sugar loaf. Experienced guide provided info on various things. Also a great phone photographer and took a bunch of pics for us. Eduardo was very accommodating for our group with different pick up and drop offs.

Great tour! - Fabulous and efficient private tour with Jamir (not sure of spelling). He suggested we start our tour early at 7am to avoid the crowds. Great idea! We were able to see more than expected in 5 hours. Highly recommend. Our guide was prompt and efficient and welcoming. Everything we enjoy with a tour.

Just Great! - An early morning was the best advice by our tour host! We were able to see the top tour sites with very little waiting in line time. Thanks to Jalmir for a very professional and informative tour. Exactly what we were looking for in Rio de Janeiro.

Amazing day in Rio - Had an amazing time with my guide Sylvio. We went to many local and more well known spots throughout Rio. We went to Pedra Bonita, Tijuca Forest-caves, cascades, Vista Chinesa. Ilha de Gigóia , Flamengo museum. Sylvio can take hikers of any level. He is very knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. He works very hard and he is prompt and efficient. I felt safe the entire day. Highly recommend.

Best Bang For Your Buck - This was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our guide, Jalmir, was so knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Having a tour guide will take you to the front of lines and you get the most out of your money. Our guide was our personal driver, educator, translator, and photographer. I guarantee we saved money on Ubers, tickets (he found out there were student discounts), and the family pictures that the parks try to sell you. When we were finishing up, he gave recommendations for the best restaurants and places to shop later. I’d definitely use this company again.
