Excellent experience - We did this private tour (two people, two separate days) and had a phenomenal experience. Everyone was very professional, communication was quick, the pick ups/drops were flawless, and it was truly a custom experience based on what we wanted to do/see. We had two different guides for each of the days, and while they had very different personalities both were excellent and we would do another tour with each of them. Hard to imagine it being a better experience -- highly recommend Gregtur for a private tour of Rio!

Private Rio - Fantastic day out in Rio with Newton. The tour was quite flexible - you basically decide the day’s itinerary when you hop in the guide’s car, so come prepared. We visited Cristo Redemptor, Santa Teresa, the old Centro, and more. The Santa Teresa neighborhood with all of its art, small shops and restaurants, and iconic colonial architecture was a highlight. Also, the center was really interesting to see as its former government buildings (from the days of Rio as the Brazilian capital) are real architectural gems. A church in the area with its gilded interior was amazing to view as well. Many thanks to Gregtur which responded right away and was the most organized company during our planning. The fast communications made planning and booking easy and fun. Also, our sincere gratitude to Newton for his knowledge, sense of humor, and love of his town - all of which contributed to a stellar day out.

Great private tour in Rio - We had a cloudy day, but the tour guide, Camilla and the driver, Marcos , made it perfect for all of us. Our kids had a great time and we were able to enjoy the day. They took us to all the main sites and were able to accommodate all of our requests. Camilla is great with kids and made the 8 hour tour very entertaining.

Tour of Rio with an 8-year-old daughter - We had a unique experience with Camilla as an Expert Guide and Marcus as a driver. Camila was able to do a very entertaining city tour of Rio especially when we were with an 8-year-old girl. It was amazing all the places we went.

Great day in Rio with a great guide - everything taken care of! - Four of us on a work trip in Brazil went to Rio for the weekend, and our private tour was perfect for having only a short period of time in Rio. Flávio was an excellent guide, knew an extensive amount of the history of Rio, and took really good care of us the whole day. We saw all the sights and the whole experience was completely painless for a tourism-heavy day. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the sights in Rio; you will not be disappointed!

Day tour in Rio - Excellent private tour to see the sights, early start to miss the crowds but so worth it. Madj was great in organising everything especially when we had to switch plans last minute, nothing was problem. Carla our tour guide made the day extra special and the driver apologies I have forgot his name but a great team that made the tour run so smoothly. If in Rio make sure to book Gregtur Tourism .

Smart arrangement for a rainy day tour - A colleague/ friend organized the full day tour led by Camilla. She is wonderful, fluent in English, knows the history and local lores well, and has a positive, upbeat attitude. She changed itinerary in response to the rain, which helped to make our tour enjoyable. Thanks Camilla!
