Best guide !!

Tatiana was by far the best guide we have ever toured with. She was knowledgeable and very friendly. She worked hard to make our time together outstanding. Prior to our tour she was in touch with details and clear instructions as to where to meet and what we would do . She is obviously well known and respected by other guides in the area and managed to move us quickly and efficiently through long lines . If you are in Rio book a tour with Tatiana I assure you it would be an amazing experience.

Great guide

This was an amazing way of seeing Rio in a short time. Our driver/guide, Pedro, was excellent. He arrived st our hotel on time despite the heavy traffic all around the city and asked us what we wanted to see. As both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain were covered by very low cloud he suggested that we should start the trip in the National Park snd then see whether the weather improved during the afternoon. That was a really good suggestion and on our way to the NP he provided a lot of background information about the city, the region and the country of Brazil. Despite no improvement in the weather the rest of the tour ensured that we saw all the other main attractions of Rio. The beaches, the steps, the cathedral, the historic trams and the different types of architecture which had evolved over the years. Towards the end of the trip we stopped for coffee and chatted about our day and then he had one final surprise for us, an evening drive along the coast passing some favelas as the locals were arriving back home. Pedro started the tour as our guide and ended it as a friend! We thoroughly recommend him if you are in Rio!

A great tour!!

This tour was WONDERFUL!! Our guide Sergio was extremely informative, and helpful to the point of installing us comfortably in an airport lounge when we got to the airport. hours before we could check in for our flight. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Camila and Mattaus are the best. Simply awesome

Camila and our guide Mattaus are wonderful people who are proud cariocas and who are so warm and friendly that they put us at ease immediately. They were so accomodating even though we opted for an early tour. Camilas knowledge on everything in rio is awesome. She is such a character and we enjoyed her commentary immensely. Mattaus is a great driver and was always on point to bring us from point to point. All in all a wonderful tour and a wonderful day in Rio!
