Excellent tour operator

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 & Matheus are the best!

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.

Great day in Rio with Camila & Marcos

We had a lovely time with Camila and Marcos. Camila is full of information about rio and its history and delivers it all with a comedic flare. We say a wide variety of sites and everyone enjoyed themselves.
