Luis Darin - Luis is an excellent tour guide. Luis provided my wife, I and two of her friends two days of wonderful sightseeing around Rio de Janeiro. He guided us to the usual sites (Christ the Redeemer, Seleron Steps, Botanical Gardens, Santa Teresa, and Parque Nacional da Tijuca) and engaged us with informative, entertaining and provocative insights and historical backgrounds of the places we visited. What topped off the experience was visiting a farmers marketplace and tasting Brazilian fruits, empanadas and other delicacies, shopping at local stores and eating at one of his favorite local restaurants (where by far we had the best meal in Brazil). I would highly recommend Luis to anyone visiting Rio. We had an amazing experience.
