Traveler reviews
Amazing
We had such a pleasant tour! The guides, Alexia and Nina, did such an amazing job explaining even the smallest details to us. They both spoke clearly as well. We really enjoyed this.
Excellent Excursion
I believe it was a remarkable experience, the visit to the river, the jungle, the botanical garden, the Santa Teresa neighborhood, and the Colombo restaurant—where we ate—with the company and explanations of a guide (Pry) who, thanks to her knowledge, both historical and her passion for everything she did, made us multiply our enjoyment of it.
A very attentive guide. Pleasant, fun, and makes you fall in love with the city
A very attentive guide. Pleasant, fun, and makes you fall in love with the city. With Priscylla, we discovered the variety of charms that Rio de Janeiro has in a very enjoyable and fun way, enjoying every moment of her company and wisdom. The two days felt short, and we would have continued enjoying the tour. Rio de Janeiro. It is much better when she teaches it. Thank you, we will return to continue discovering.
