Top guide in Rio - Super guide we would recommend too all. On time, calm, very helpful professional nice and efficient. Has made a mixed of different tours over 2 days perfect to see the best. Very attentive to your ideas and choice. We learnt a lot from Claudio. His driver is also perfect. Everything is perfectly organised. Very happy to have found him.

Claudio is the **BEST** guide in Rio!! - We came to Rio for the first time to celebrate the New Year's Eve, and had the pleasure of meeting Claudio. We were impressed with his deep knowledge of all things Rio and Brasil. He speaks many languages (English, français, español, and português). He showed us the Sugar Loaf, the Cristo statue, the downtown area, Copacabana, and Ipanema--and more!! He has been doing this a while, and is a welcoming and warm person. It was a pleasure to spend time with him. He knows EVERYTHING about Rio--the 'it' places to go, the best restaurants, the history and more. We were so happy with our tour, that we booked two additional days with him so we could be immersed in the culture. One day we went to Petropolis to see the Imperial Palace, and he arranged everything for us!! Another day he took us to several beaches--it was so much fun and we got a tan too!!, It was so easy, because without him we would not have had such a great experience. He opens the cultural door to Rio and Brazil! If you are reading this, ***DONT WAIT!!!*** Book a tour with Claudio and you will be incredibly happy you did. His rates are competitive and you get so much more than expected--we tipped him an extra US$50 per day because we had such an amazing time. We will definitely come back to Rio de Janeiro again because of Claudio. He made our holiday the best that we have ever had, hand-down. We are no longer strangers t Brazil, and made a new wonderful friend!! Obrigado, Claudio for eveything!! You are a star!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Two landmarks in one day worth visiting. - We enjoyed a full day tour of Rio which included Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. Both were really crowded but organized in terms of crowd control. Fortunately the weather was good so it wasn't bad standing in line and people-watching on the way up to both. The length of time spent at the actual site/top was minimal compared to the wait time but the views provided were great.

A welcome guide to a great city - We had 2 days with Claudio as a guide. His first day was challenging because it was raining relentlessly and fat too cloudy to see Christ the Redeemer or Sugar Loaf Mountain. He compensated brilliantly by showing us parts of the city that we might otherwise have missed. This included the stunning Cathedral that is designed to look like a Mayan Pyramid but contains some of the mot beautiful stained glass windows I have ever seen. We also saw the Portuguese library and of course the Maracanã Stadium tour! Cludio looked after us throughout, kept us informed about every detail of where we were and made sure that we benefitted from any perks that were available! On day 2 the sun came out and were able to do Sugar Loaf, although the Christ the Redeemer had to wait... A brilliant guide who I would always use if revisiting the city.

Interesting and complete tour - Very interesting tour and well organised. Claudio is a sophisticated guide, very cultivated, who also shares many good adresses.

Wonderful tour of Rio - We spent 2 wonderful days with Claudio who introduced us to the city of Rio. Numerous explanations in French, discovery of magnificent places and very good advice to avoid waiting for busy sites (Corcovado etc.). The whole family loved it !

Claudio = treasure of Rio!! - There is no better way to see Rio in a day than with Claudio!! He was able to get us to Cristo and Sugar Loaf in record time - and we so appreciated his knowledge and enthusiasm and history! He has the greatest personality and it truly was a joy to spend the day with him. We loved the mix of wow-inducing sights with the cultural institutions and charming neighborhoods. The Santa Teresa tour was a highlight. He also gave us great recommendations for dinner and live music. Thank you Claudio!!! You are a treasure of Rio!

Claudio is great! - Claudio is a great guide that is very knowledgeable but most of all a very pleasant and thoughtful guide suitable for young and old. In my opinion he also a good choice because he is home in so many worlds: bohemian artist but also for the well to do families.

An unexpected gem! - Claudio made our trip. He had the best recommendations, and was able to make the best use of our time! He was so awesome. He ensured we know how to navigate the city alone, even after our tour ended. I highly recommend him, and can’t wait to see him soon!

No Show! - We waited for pur guide for over an hour with a no show. At the pier waiting for him was very frustrating.
