Amazing, unforgettable experience! - We rarely do guided tours and prefer to do things our way. But this time we literally had a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Rio but had only 1 single day to do so. And we chose to spend it with Luis and it was a fantastic choice. Luis is a very knowledgeable, extremely experienced guide who allowed us to see everything we wanted and much more. Luis seems to know everyone in the city, knows his way around and has shortcuts and logistics figured out so that we could completely focus on experiencing Rio with all our senses. We did the classics but we also did see some places we would definitely not have found ourselves, tasted local streetfood, even tasted some fruit directly from the trees! Luis has great ways to quickly make you familiar with the cities complex geography. He knows a lot anout its nature and all the flora and fauna you come across. And while driving Luis gave us a quick version of Brasilian history, amazing cultural heritage and allowed us a glimpse beneath the surface. Amazing, unforgettable experience. Thank you Luis!

Great private custom tour of Rio - Luis was a great tour guide! We were staying out in the suburbs next to the Olympic park but Luis was able to come pick us up at our hotel. He asked what kind of sights we wanted to see, nature vs history vs popular sights, etc. Since we were only in town for two days, we opted for the overview of main sights with a great lunch spot suggested by Luis. He was friendly, informative, and it was great that he was able to give us local insights while offering suggestions of more off the beaten path places to see. In addition to the Christ and Sugarloaf l, he brought us to a local restaurant he frequents and the beautiful botanical gardens where he frequented as a child. If looking for a local tour and guide, skip the group tour and hire Luis for a custom private tour, you won’t regret it!

Loved our day with Luis! - Luis was an incredible tour guide/ historian! Knowledgeable and conversant about everything from food to architecture. He helped make Rio and Niteroi come alive.

Outstanding day in beautiful Rio de Janeiro - We loved our personalized guided tour with Luis very much. After a couple of minutes he exactly knew what we wanted to see and what we are interested in. His knowledge and personal input was fantastic. He showed us the real Rio. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.

Two perfect days in Rio - Luis put together two unforgettable days for us, tailored exactly to our needs. It rained on the first day, but Luis knew exactly what we could change and how to make the most of the day. Luis showed us the best side of Rio. We had great conversations and learned so much about the city and about Brazil. We are so grateful to Luis. We had culinary experiences. The best pão de queijo... great suco de caña de acucar... frango in Santa Teresa... endless fruit at the market... They were two perfect days with my little family. Luis also picked us up from the airport twice and dropped us off there. Everything went perfectly and on time. Luis is great. And we would use his service again and again.

Amazing time - My friend and I did this tour back in November and it was perfect. I love that we got to choose what we wanted to see and got to experience more of Rio than a regular tour. My absolute favorite was getting to go to market and try all these different fruits we have never tried before
