Fantastic private tours - I was a Solo traveler and was a bit apprehensive about booking a tour and a big crowd. I booked a private tour with this company and it was fantastic. The tour guide was Alan who made everything even better. He came by my Airbnb and picked me up in a very nice car and made sure that I had plenty of air conditioning the entire time. Alan speaks multiple languages and is very fluent in English and Spanish. I believe he also speaks other languages as well besides Portuguese his native tongue. Since this was a private tour Allen arranged the schedule to suit my needs, pending a little more time here and taking a few pictures and a little less time there. Alan made everything great, I even had my first Brazilian Caipirnha drink on the beach. Has a Solo traveler Alan also made sure to get many pictures of me at The monuments as keepsakes. My tour was on a Friday and it was so fantastic that Alan even worked me in his schedule for another tour on Monday as a foodie tour . I would highly recommend these tours whether you're a solo traveler, a family or just a close group of friends. You won't regret it!

Fast Pass tickets for BEST experience! - Yes, yes, and Yes! Take Fabio's advice and get the Sugar Loaf fast pass and Corovado Christ the Redeemer fast pass ( especially if you don't start your tour early in the morning). Way better to get up early and go with him at 630-7ish to get the best experience. Everyone else will be wondering if you are a celebrity because Fabio is able to go around all the lines of people waiting to see the same thing, but super crowded!

Solid tour with rich understanding of Brazil - Fabio was a great guide that tailored our tour around our needs. He tipped us off on the fast pass option for both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf which helped to expedite our experience. We’ve done a lot of tours around the world and it’s sometimes challenging to find a tour guide that has deep understanding of history and facts related to that location. Would recommend this tour.

Family trip to Rio - Fabio and his driver were excellent. Lots of energy and positive vibes. Rio is beautiful. Not sure how we could have seen so much without your help. Thank you Fabio.

Would be hard to beat - This was the first of three trips we made with Rio Cultural Secrets. The others were to Botanic Gardens and Tijuca National Park and Vidigal Favela. Fabio was an exceptional and knowledgeable guide and helpful. For example the day we were to visit Christ the Redeemer it was shrouded in cloud. So he suggested we swap the visit with the Botanic Gardens and combine Christ the Redeemer with The Tijuca National Park the following week. This worked really well and to top things off he managed to add at short notice an afternoon trip to Vidgal Favela following the morning trip to the forest. A totally wonderful experience all in

Awesome Tour - We booked 3 private tours with Fabio and all three were amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge about Rio and gave us an authentic and safe experience. I highly recommend booking with Rio Cultural Experience.

Rio from a different angle - I’ve seen all major attractions and wanted something different. Fabio took me to places I didn’t know before. Places of cultural significance as well as places of natural beauty. I was very happy with this variety and had an excellent and interesting day.
