Rio de Janeiro Private Full-Day Tour

We did the 5 day tour of Rio with Gregtur in August 2026. Camila was our guide. Her knowledge of Rio (the city, attractions, traffic, culture and food scene) is unmatched. We were constantly skipping lines and getting first class service at the major attractions due to her relationships with the gatekeepers of the attractions. She is very funny and had us laughing out loud many times per day. When she could see bad weather was going to impact our views of the city, she developed high quality options for us to choose for better ways to spend the rainy days. She was very responsive to our interests. If we showed interest in a place, she let us stay longer. If we were less interested in a place, she would suggest we move on earlier than planned. Most guides just follow a script about where we go for how long regardless if you are engaged in that part of the program. She directed us to outstanding restaurants both during the tours and in our free time afterwards. We were also impressed with our driver Francisco. He was always there early, kept the van stocked with cold water, and could drive and park and maneuver the large van like it was a small car. He was friendly and willing to go along with whatever plan changes we had due to the choice we had from the rainy days. The only things that were odd to us were the fact we had a new guide only for the dinner/show night. We didn’t understand why this wasn’t Camila accompanying us since she was with us all the rest of the five days. We also didn’t understand why we had a different driver for the last day and the ride to the airport.

We simply would not have seen so much of Rio in one day if we had attempted to do this on our own. This company is top class. Friendly, professional, prompt communication and a guide that was absolutely fantastic. Henry was terrific and wound us around the busy Rio streets with ease. The weather in late May wasn't that great but honestly it didn't detract from an amazing day out. Would highly recommend (and fast pass for the train to Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf worked a treat, getting us through quickly but most importantly with best seats/views). We worked with this tour operator to get the best time slot to fit in with our day. The tour operator will provide links to where to buy and fir what time.

Camila is very professional and friendly guide.We had a lovely time with her in Rio and we highly recommend her.

Camila and Matheus made my tour an unforgettable experience from start to finish. Camila was incredibly kind, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable, bringing every detail of the journey to life with passion and care. Matheus complemented the experience perfectly with his professionalism and smooth, reliable driving, always making me feel safe and comfortable. Together, they are without a doubt the best tour guide and driver I have ever had—no matter the country. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless, thoughtful, and enjoyable. Thanks to them, my day was absolutely perfect, and I truly could not be happier with the experience.

Fantastic experience. Camilla was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
