Very well travelled
We spent an amazing day with the company of saints, nothing to criticize him, he was an excellent guide explained and told us all the stories that the cities of Rio have and took us to know the incredible places of Rio. Very attentive in everything and very organized.
Amazing experience.
Daniel was amazing and very thorough on the express trip that my girlfriend and I went on. He took us to Sugarloaf Mountain as well as Christ the redeemer. We had a lot of time to explore take pictures and just get filled with knowledge about both iconic places. I would definitely recommend this to anybody looking into further their knowledge on Brazil and to explore hitting gems along the way. Thank you, Daniel and the driver as well
