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!

Carefree tour, just book it. - Our tour started at our hotel where we were met in the hotel lobby by Eduardo who shared our last name. We enjoyed hearing about the history of the points of interest. We hit all the top spots that we otherwise would have had to navigate ourselves. We wanted a carefree day and having someone to do the driving and ticket buying was great. Highly recommend Eduardo who was very personable and this tour company.

Rio de Janeiro Uncovered: Amazing Tour with Camila - TL;DR - Highly recommend the private tour with Camila. We kicked off at 9:30 am, just as I'd requested. Camila was waiting for us in the lobby, and her warm energy set the tone for an unforgettable day. Here are some of the highlights that made this tour truly special: Ipanema Beach from a Local's Perspective Camila took us to a hidden spot with stunning views of Ipanema Beach. Her insider knowledge of Rio shone through as she navigated us through secret shortcuts and shared fascinating stories about the neighborhood. Sugarloaf: No Crowds, Just Breathtaking Views We arrived at Sugarloaf before the crowds, thanks to Camila's expert planning. She guided us through each stop, making sure we had plenty of time to take it all in at our own pace. And she knew exactly where to capture those Instagram-worthy shots! Christ the Redeemer: The Right Way to See It Camila recommended traveling by car to this iconic landmark, and I'm so glad we did! We avoided the packed train and enjoyed a comfortable, hassle-free experience. Escadaria Selarón: A Glimpse into Local Life Camila walked us through this vibrant neighborhood, introducing us to local artisans, crafts, and refreshing cocktails. With her by our side, we felt completely at ease, thanks to her obvious connections with the locals. We also explored the stunning Theater District, Catedral Metropolitana, Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Candelária, and more. By the end of this action-packed tour, I was ready for a well-deserved spa day – exhausted but exhilarated! In short, I wholeheartedly recommend Camila's private tour for an authentic Rio experience. Her passion, knowledge, and warm personality made all the difference. If you want to see the real Rio, look no further!

Excellent Tour, Excellent Service - Excellent Tour 100% recommended. Very punctual, they picked us up at the Cruise Dock ahead of time, in a luxurious van, María, an excellent guide, explains very well and speaks several languages very well, we visited more places than promised, they charged us an excellent price, much cheaper than the Ship. We were very happy

Rio Layover Bonus Day - We had a fantastic day with Newton because of a surprise layover in Rio de Janeiro. We wanted to avoid the crowds so he took us to the forest and we finished the day on the beaches.
