Jeepner Tour - A Fantastic Experience - Our jeepney tour with Lucia and her driver was an unforgettable experience! From the start, Lucia’s deep knowledge and passion for the area made the tour engaging and informative. She shared fascinating historical and cultural insights that truly enriched our journey. Her driver was equally impressive, navigating the busy streets with ease and ensuring a smooth ride throughout. Despite visiting during the carnival, which led to some road closures and restricted access to certain attractions, Lucia and her driver went above and beyond to adapt the itinerary. Their flexibility and commitment to delivering a top-tier experience were truly commendable. Even with the unexpected detours, they made sure we didn’t miss out on the essence of the tour, taking us to alternative sites and providing unique experiences that exceeded our expectations. Their effort to accommodate changes seamlessly and maintain a fun and immersive experience was greatly appreciated. Overall, this was an exceptional tour, and we highly recommend Lucia and her team for anyone looking to explore the area in an authentic and exciting way!

First day trip - was brilliant - We had George & Alexandro for our tour. They were brilliant. George gave us lots of information about brazil, the area, the forest & his life. Alexandro stopped the jeep for unexpected monkeys in the forest.OMG so cute. We even went to a restaurant they recommended that was round the corner from our hotel.

Super relaxing - Walk to do when you stay several days in Rio you see all kinds of trees and plants and even monkeys The best is to be accompanied by a guide who will teach you many things I recommend Alain Bertin (French Portuguese Spanish Italian)

A nice day in nature - We were the only couple on today's tour so it was very nice to have our own guide and driver. The botanic gardens are amazing and the knowledge of our guide was first class, the ticket office was painfully slow and when we eventually got to the desk we were delighted to get seniors discount. The amazing waterfall in the forest was unbelievable. We saw some wild life and then headed back to our hotel passing by some spectacular scenery. My only disappointment was the amount of time in the forest, I thought we would have more than the 20 minutes we were given.

Great Adventure - It was a great time and well worth the price. George is a wonderful, funny and knowledgeable guide. The ride over was great with an open air truck that let you feel the breeze and see Rio from a new angle. Highly recommend for an active activity in Rio.
