Very enjoyable! Excellent! - We had a private tour for two of us. Tatiana was our tour guide. She’s excellent. She has very good knowledge about Rio. She planned well for our trip. She took care of my wife up and down the stairs very well. She even lied down on the floor to take photos for us at Christ the Redeemer. She is outstanding. Even the driver was very impressed. The young man always opened the door for me. We’ll ask for Tatiana when we come back to Rio next time.

Excellent Tour - Even Better Guides!!! - What an amazing tour! Michael was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever experienced. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and connected. He knew who to talk with to get us through the lines quickly and where to have us stand to get the best photos. We spent 9 hours together and it flew by. Carlos (our driver) was also wonderful!
Be sure to follow the recommendations they send to get the “skip the line” tickets.

Beth was amazing!!! Definitely the way to experience Rio! - We have taken approximately 100 different tours all around the world, split between both group and private. Beth was by far the best guide we have experienced. She took the time to understand what was most important to us and organized the day in such a way as to accomplish all we had wanted to experience and more.
As opposed to a group tour with a preset itinerary and people wandering off and holding up the entire group, we were able to spend as much time as we wanted at each stop, and surprisingly enough it cost the same as group tours we were also considering. We opted for a driver and guide and feel we made a great choice. With not being fluent in portugese, there were many details we might not have fully appreciated or might have missed. It was so very valuable to have someone there who knew where to go and could explain as we experienced. I like more detail than my husband, and she tailored her information to our individual preferences.
Beth's english was great, and her knowledge was quite impressive.
Highly recommend Beth! She was both professional and personable and definitely knows Rio!

Couldn't have done it on our own - Wagner showed us the full experience of Rio with great knowledge and conversation. A great local meal on Copacobana and visits to a variety of locales makes us want to come back.
An unexpected fun adventure!

Perfect Rio Tour and Guide - Fred is the perfect tour guide for all things Rio. He made us feel relaxed and taken care of. He knew and shared so much about our activities. His catchphrase is 'no worries'. And we were definitely worry-free with Frederico.

Highly Recommended - Beth and Bruno were amazing. So friendly and full of nuggets of information. We saw all of the major sights of Rio in a day, which we could not have done without a team that knew how to easily navigate the city.

The Wonder of Rio - We had an awesome tour in Rio and cannot be grateful enough to Diogo and our driver for making every element of the trip fantastic. Even before getting there Diogo made contact to recommend fast passes and with the queues we saw they were definitely worth it. All the big sights (including Christ the Redeemer, SugarLoaf, Saladin steps and the City Cathedral) were brought to life with history and stories that were delivered with humour and passion. Diogo seemed to have endless contacts that also made the trip run smoothly. The stop for dinner delivered the steak of dreams and we were made to feel so comfortable and safe for all of our trip that we met with Diogo the next evening at Pedra do Sal for a Samba party and dinner. It fulfilled every expectation and more.
