Faby and the private tour are the way to go! - Faby was awesome and knew all of the "tricks" to avoid the long queues and make the best use of my time without the tour feeling rushed. She was extremely personable and knowledgeable and provided just enough history and background on each location that we visited. I would highly recommend Faby and this private tour!

The best tour guide in Rio! - We had the great pleasure of taking a city tour of Rio de Janiero with Faby. She is the best tour guide for anyone speaking English, Spanish, or Portuguese. She is fluent not just in the words of other languages but also the cultures they come from. Knowledgeable and fun, she exudes the vibe of Rio. My husband (German) and I (American) have a 3yr old boy and a long list of must-sees! She managed to make it all happen - including finding elusive parking spaces and fast track lines in impossible places. She is gracious and warm to children. She is a bounty of knowledge about Rio. Because she also lived for years abroad in America, Spain, and Germany she has the ability to understand the needs and expectations of people from around the world. She adapts also how much information you want to know about something, never talking your ear off if you don't want her to (RE: Sugar Loaf, Christ the Redeemer, the Portuguese Library, the Cathedral, the beaches, the restaurants and other important landmarks.) She has a team of experts in her style and our friends who have hired them also gave rave reviews. Even while on our tour she was coming up with a second tour we could do to sites beyond the city to add further panache to our experience next time. There is only one name in this business. A former journalist with the photographic eye of a Film Director and the city knowledge of one born and raised in this wondrous city, you will be overjoyed with your experience with Faby. Even the photos she took of my family and I were Insta worthy. Thank you for everything Faby, we will be back for that second tour!

YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED - Faby was AMAZING! She is very passionate about her culture and is very knowledge about all things RIO! She speaks very good English and is very good and what she does. We waited in no lines and she took the most amazing photos. We are planning to return for carnival and will definitely be in touch with Faby. Her food recommendations were top notch as well! Book book book before it’s too late!

Super nice tour with great tour guide! - We had a great tour with Faby! She had a great day and saw all the highlights we wanted to see. Faby guided us nicely along the rows with our son of 1, so we didn't have to wait anywhere. She is fun, sociable, welcoming and flexible. Highly recommended!

Highlights of Rio with Faby - Great experience! Faby is an excellent guide! We had limited time and Rio and she showed us the highlights of the city. She is very knowledgeable and wants you to have an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend! P.s. get the “Fast Pass Tickets” for Sugarloaf. Worth the extra cost.

Sensational!! - Knowing or reviewing Rio de Janeiro is much quieter and more effective with the guide Fabiana Lopes (Fabi). Gentle, attentive, friendly. I ⁇ the walks quietly, without facing queues. Wonderful!! When I return to Rio I want to be accompanied by FABI. REALLY VERY EFFECTIVE. AMEI!!!

Awesome tour! - Fabi is an amazing guide! Patient, very knowledgeable, energetic! We had a great family day visiting the Corcovado, Pão de Açúcar and historical city centre, including the Selaron stairs. I'd definitely recommend Fabi (and Vagner). You are both incredible!

Amazing Day in Rio de Janeiro - Faby was our tour guide for the day and she was truly amazing. I felt like I hired a friend for the day. She was so nice and accommodating. She was professional yet personable. We really wanted to experience Rio de Janeiro the way the locals do and she provided us with that experience. Every scenic attractions and restaurant she took us to was part of the Rio we were looking for. She took beautiful pictures and videos for us!!! She also gave us tips of Restaurant’s and place to visit along with helping us find our way around with city. She is fluent in English and I highly recommend her for a customized private tour.

Great Guide, Disappointing Value - I recently took this tour in Rio and, while there were highlights, it ultimately fell short of expectations and felt overpriced. We visited Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the cathedral, and another church. The description included a two-hour hike in Tijuca National Park, but we never went there—it was as if it was never part of the itinerary, which was a major letdown. I was also expecting Faby as our guide, based on all the reviews I read, but we had Gabrielle instead. To be fair, Gabrielle and the driver Junior were fantastic, offering great insights and a smooth experience. However, the tour was advertised as 7-8 hours, yet ours lasted just 6 (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.). It’s hard not to wonder if the missing Tijuca portion would’ve made up for the shorter duration. The pricing is another sticking point. While Viator lists the tour as starting at $103, we ended up paying $189 per person. For $390 total, I expected a more comprehensive experience. While the transportation and historical context were nice, I can’t justify the price for what we received. If I were to do it again, I’d Uber to the sites (very affordable in Rio) and enjoy the flexibility. Did I like the tour? Yes. Was it worth the cost? Absolutely not. While Gabrielle and Junior were great, the tour left me feeling disappointed and overcharged.
