“Thank you so much Dario, we loved having you as our private tour guide! I cannot recommend this enough whilst you are in Rio. There was excellent communication beforehand to organise the itinerary and we managed to cover off everything we wanted to see on the day! Not only was the car comfortable, Dario knew everyone which seemed to help us skip the queues especially at Sugarloaf Mountain! Dario also gave us plenty of history on Rio and always had an answer to any questions we had. Nothing was too much trouble for Dario, from taking our pictures for us, holding our bags and not rushing us as we queued…”

“Very nice tour! We covered a lot of areas. Both the guide and driver were great! Highly recommended.”

“Patricia picked us up at the Port from our cruise ship and took us on a customised tour for the whole day. We visited the Maracana Stadium, learnt all about Carnival, walked up the Seralon Steps then went to Christ the Redeemer. We had Patricia’s wonderful descriptions of all of the history. After driving along Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, we parked at the Cathedral then walked downtown to the beautiful Library and visited Confeteria Columbus. We were returned to the port in time to get ready for dinner on the ship. Thank you for your wonderful and warm conversation- your English is excellent!”

“Bruno is an exceptional guide. We saw the key sites and then some, very efficiently. Besides being extremely knowledgeable about Rio and its history, he’s a delightful person. He was born in Rio, moved to the US as a child, and returned to Rio to open a tour business a few years ago. He’s a great blend of Brazilian and US culture. So, if you’re looking for a great guide in Rio, try to book with Bruno. A+++++++++++”

“These guys were amazing! Extremely personal service! My husband and I are very experienced divers and booked this off of Viator. We were just here for a day off the cruise ship but would definitely come back since we own a dive shop in the United States!”

“Thalyta and Elder picked me up from my hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned car, and the ride was perfect. Thalyta shared the history behind every place we passed, was incredibly kind, and even helped me take amazing photos and videos at each stop. She was super professional and clearly knew exactly what she was doing. We saw Christ the Redeemer from the best spots, never waited in any lines, and I always had the best seat on the cable car to Pão de Açúcar, with breathtaking views. We explored the charming neighborhoods of Glória and Santa Teresa, enjoyed a delicious açaí with pão de queijo, and finally, they dropped me…”

“Worth the $$ for private tour to get great overview of Rio in a short time. Managed to see ALL the major tourist sights, plus driving thru forest, more upscale areas and smaller cozy beaches”

“The absolute best tour I’ve taken (done lots with viator) EVER!! It was my husband and teen son and because it’s customizable you see what you want. First time in Rio so it was so helpful that our tour guide Igor recommended best sites … Igor is not only extremely knowledgeable, kind and fun hearted … we had an incredible time! Saw so much historic, architectural, sports, nature & art , immersed in the culture … if you are looking for a tour this is the one!! Worth every penny! Request Igor!!!!”

“This was Great. Cruise ship tour was sold out. We were fortunate it was. Our guide was awesome she also was a food guide so we were treated to some extras. We saw so much more than the folks who took the cruise excursion.”

“Our guide Tavi was exceptional! He spoke English very well and there was no communication lost. We were fortunate to have his expert knowledge of the different Rio communities. He took the time to listen and answer to all of our questions no matter how trivial. He also explained the meanings and cultural implications of each and everything we explored as well as things we would pass by during our driving time from one stop to the next. Listening to his local point of view regrading the Favelas was one of our favorite parts of the trip. No, Favelas were not part of this experience, but Tavi was patient and…”

“The tour was very well organized!! The tour operator advised us to start the tour earlier to avoid the crowds and the hot temperature. In fact this advice was very helpful. We did the tour in very good condition. The tour guide Richard is very nice and helpful. This tour highly recommended!!”

“The trip was amazing! Our guide Rodrigo was incredibly likeable and energetic with visible love for Rio. He provided us with many local information and History of Brazil. He adjusted the trips pace to our grandma and took us to every possible elevator in the area. Not only did he show us the main atracctions but also presented us the Carioca way of life and mindset. Thanks to starting the trip early we skipped most of the lines. We were also able to try local barbecue and dishes in Steak House. It was an amazing experience and I would definetely recommend it to anyone who would like to get to…”

“We toured for two days in Rio with Gus. He was great! We gave him a list of what we wanted to see and we did all those things plus a couple of his suggestions. His English is great and he is full of knowledge about Rio. He timed our visits to Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf so the crowds were not overwhelming.”

“This is an absolute MUST when visiting Rio!!! Made the entire trip worth it! On top of all of the knowledge and sites, the photographs are top notch!! Would recommend!!! 10/10!!”
