Paradise has the name :RIO DE JANEIRO. You have to walk it with SAFFO - It is an encounter full of color, joy, good stories and a man full of surprises. From being able to taste local flavors that he offers to take you to rare and visited corners and then immerse yourself in the tangle of tourists as if you were the only one for him and his camera. Alvaro is the equivalent of a brand “SAFFO”, which has from the simplest to the most elegant in a simple smile and a creative photographic shot full of possibilities. It made my trip wonderful and was the perfect complement to a great story of light and color.

Best Rio City Tour - We were initially planning on touring the city on our own. However, after meeting Saffo on a Barra da Tijuca tour, we had to ask him to take us on a City Tour. We're so glad Saffo was able to do this. It was evident we would've had challenges on our own as the city was packed. Saffo knows all the secrets and ins & outs. He just makes everything easier so all you have to worry about is having fun. We ticked everything off our list and had a great time.

A 5-Star Tour Guide! - We had gone on a tour with Alvaro of the local beaches, and he was so good, we booked the city tour with him. And we were glad we did! He took us to out- of-the-way places we would never see with other tour guides. I felt like I really got to know Rio because of Alvaro. I'm a senior citizen and was traveling with my son's family. I have some mobility issues, and Alvaro went above and beyond to accommodate me when they were places I didn't feel comfortable walking with my family. And he spends so much time taking photos of us at our various stops - I've never experienced this with any other tour guide. On top of that, he has a great personality, and we felt we were leaving a "friend" when the day long tour ended. If I return to Rio, Alvaro is the person I would call for another tour. Thanks, Alvaro, for everything!

ANOTHER great experience with the BEST guide in Brazil!!! - After spending the day with the best tour guide ever (Alvaro) and seeing more than a dozen of Brazil's beautiful and sparsely populated beaches, we knew we had to take another tour with Alvaro. Once again, he did not disappoint! He thought of everything (again) to make it a GREAT day for everyone in our family from the kids to the grandparents. I cannot give a higher recommendation for Alvaro, he is truly the best and when we go back to Brazil some day, we will definitely call on him again!
