See the best of Rio with the best guide! - Marshall was a great tour guide. He was super flexible, easy going and would tailor the tour to your needs and timing. Our ship had heard docking and so we arrived much later than anticipated. Marshall was no worried and assured us not to either! He adjusted everything accordingly. It was also Carnivale, so traffic was manic everywhere! Marshall adjusted accordingly and the day was fabulous. Take the tour, you won't regret it!

See Rio with Marcio! - Marcio is the man! We had a fantastic day with him starting with an easy visit to Christ Redeemer that only booking ahead affords you. We had ample time, he was a wonderful photographer, very informative, and flexible. At a last minute stop to Ipenawa Beach, Marcio noticed we liked the vibe and adjusted the schedule so we could have a drink (or two) in this lovely location. At the end of our tour, the congestion of visiting Rio during a busy night during Carnivale caught up with us and we were stuck in traffic trying to get back to our ship. Our shuttle of ten (strangers at the beginning of the day) decided unanimously to walk back to the ship together instead of having Marcio and his driver continue to push through the traffic. Marcio escorted us back through the Carnivale celebrations on foot giving us an impromptu immersive experience while delivering us safely back to our ship. We had a memorable day and recommend Marcio to those with an adventurous spirit.

Great host, great excursion - Leo, our young host, is a proud citizen of his home city of Rio and it showed. He demonstrated amazing patience with both the heavy traffic and the inevitable queues at C de R. He was great company, collected us from the cruise terminal slightly early, which was perfect. We wish Leo well for the future.

Beautiful Rio! - Marcio was the BEST guide! He is a Rio native, friendly, professional and perfect English. We was flexible with our plans due to the weather, and was on time with everything. He also took us to local restaurants that were absolutely delicious with no tourists! We would highly recommend Marcio, he can help you with anything you need while in Rio!

Excellent service, flexibility and familiarity - The service is excellent, the flexibility, suggestions, security and peace of mind of not feeling that you are running but that you can go at your own pace because Marcio fits your times and your tastes. We did 3 days of tours with this agency plus airport transfers, and we only have words of appreciation. Super recommended
