Great time, saw everything we wanted to see plus new things we didn't know we wanted to see. Faby got us around the lines and into the venues very quickly. She knows the places to go to take memorable photos and where to stand for the best views. Also. having a driver saved a lot of time and got us closer to venues.

I traveled to Rio to visit Christ the Redeemer as part of my quest to see all Seven Wonders, but Faby made Rio so much more than a check off my list. Her tour was truly unforgettable. Right from the start, Faby’s warmth, knowledge, and care for the experience made me feel like I was exploring with a friend. She customized every detail to fit my interests, taking me from iconic spots like Christ the Redeemer and the Royal Portuguese Reading Room to a vibrant local market for a taste of real Rio life. The highlight? Her encouragement to visit a samba school. I hesitated, but Faby insisted it was a must, and she was so right—I got a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the culture and dedication behind Rio’s Carnaval. It added so much depth to my understanding of this city’s spirit. Beyond the sights, Faby’s thoughtful touches—like having sunscreen and bug spray ready for me—showed her genuine care for my experience. I felt completely at ease, and the logistics were seamless. I left Rio with a new view of its beauty, culture, and people and a desire to come back and see more. Faby’s tour is perfect for first-time visitors, returning tourists, solo travelers, or families looking for an authentic, enriching experience. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough for anyone wanting to feel the true heart of Rio. Five stars and beyond!
