What Our Guests Say
Real experiences from travelers who discovered Rio with us
What a wonderful experience!
What a great experience, our tour guide Gabrielle was friendly, patient and knowledgeable and our driver got us to all the locations safely. We visited Sugarloaf mountain, Christ the Redeemer and the Selaron Steps and we also had time to visit Copacabana and have lunch with Gabrielle at a place she recommended. All in all, a great private tour, definitely worth the price!
Fantastic day in Rio
Higor was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and perfect English. Our driver was very skilled and the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Being able to fine tune our itinerary meant we saw the maximum number of sites in Rio that interested us.
Fantastic trip! Memories made for a lifetime!
This was an amazing tour! Christ the Redeemer and the view of Rio was breathtaking! Sugarloaf Mountain and the Selaron steps were also fantastic! Our guide Higor also made a special quick stop at the Copacabana so we could see it. Higor made this so memorable for us. He went out of his way to make recommendations so we would get the most of our tour. I've been on many tours, but Higor truly is one of the best there is. If you are in Rio, take this tour!!! You'll leave happy and fulfilled.
