Rio Layover Bonus Day - We had a fantastic day with Newton because of a surprise layover in Rio de Janeiro. We wanted to avoid the crowds so he took us to the forest and we finished the day on the beaches.

Rio de Janeiro historic center - We paid a visit to the center of Rio de Janeiro with the excellent guide Camila Feher, super attentive, she knows a lot about the history of Rio and is passionate about history, that makes all the difference, plus she knows great places to stop to eat, her gastronomic tips are divine , this made the trip to the Colombo bakery even better. It was an incredible day in addition to having the super polite and high-spirited driver Júnior, with a clean car, air conditioning, water and treats such as chocolate and our traditional paçoquinha. Perfect, I highly recommend it and will do it again as soon as I return to Río de Janeiro. Thank you Camila and junior.

Fantastic experience. - Camila did a fantastic describing various sites and places of interest, commenting in depth on the history of the site but or Rio and Brazil generally, which was highly insightful. She also took us to neighborhoods that were truly local in nature. This tour is jam packed with sites of interest - Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, the cathedral, the football stadium, the Olympic mural, the tile steps, and more. It was a fabulous day. Highly recommended.

Amazing Rio city tour- Selaron steps, Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain - This was the best city tour with the best guide- Flavio. His knowledge of the city and its history was incredible, and he made it so interesting to learn about. It is 100% worth having a tour guide and driver to get you to each place, as they got us through the lines much quicker as well as being super informative about each place. We had a private tour so got to the Selaron steps early and we had the whole place to ourselves which was fantastic. We then went to Christ the Redeemer, then Sugarloaf mountain. I would recommend starting the day early to avoid the crowds, as when we were leaving Christ the Redeemer it got ridiculously busy. I would highly recommend booking with Gregtur tours- and request Flavio as your guide if you can.
