Monique is the Best!!!! - Monique is simply the BEST!!!!! If you really are looking for a close good friend who can take you to LOCAL places and give you the Best tpurs ever it is Monique. I met Monique based on a friend's recommendation and I was impressed the way she loves her job, super sincere, she won't take a picture of you unless you are perfect at her camera, drone skills, SUPER FUNNY, she speaks perfect ENGLISH, she took me to the very LOCAL food places and introduced me to the best food in town,Safety is her main concern, she would tell you when and where to walk,She is always with me on the phone checking on me, if i wanna get souvenirs, she would bargain for me, i asked her to watch a game for the FLAMINGO soccer team she came with us, Veing a visitor from California, i was so worried about Safety and who can show me places without taking advantage, Monique was always there for me. Knowledge knowledge knowledge, she knows alot about history and details and will make you feel good you avsorbed all the info. By the way, her husband Rodrigo is just the best, he used to accompany us and has the best sence of humor. Simply i respect her cause she truly loves what she is doing and she is really good at it. I strongly recommend Monique.

Authentic Samba experience! - We had the most incredible and authentic samba experience at a local bar! The atmosphere was amazing as we immersed ourselves in the rhythms of samba music, dancing the night away. Our guide, Monique, now our Brazilian friend, went above and beyond to share her deep knowledge of samba's rich history, making the experience even more enlightening. We recommend this tour to anyone seeking a genuine taste of Brazilian culture. It's an opportunity you won't want to miss!
