My husband and I booked the Olympic...

5.00My husband and I booked the Olympic Boulevard tour through Viator and what a great decision it turned out to be! We didn’t realize that it was basically a one on one private tour because we were the only two passengers on the tour. Camilo Sequeira picked us up from our hotel in his car (he had already confirmed the pick up time twice on WhatsApp) had a bottle of water and an energy bar each for my husband and I and took us on exactly the tour that was promised. But Camilo didn’t stop there, he spent an extra hour with us (at no extra charge!) driving us to the best spot in town to watch the sunset just because we asked! We were so impressed that we asked if we could do a similar tour the next day and we agreed on a reasonable price for 4 hours. Again he turns up with water and chocolate this time because I had asked where I could get good Brazilian chocolate! He not only took us to several landmarks that we would otherwise not have experienced including a folk art museum which never comes up on a Google search but he spent an additional hour and half with us and again at no extra cost. My husband and I have travelled to several countries and been a part of many different tours but I can confidently say that we have never experienced this level of kindness, courtesy, expertise and passion for the job. Camilo is an amazing tour guide who genuinely loves his job and wants to share that with his clients. He will customize any tour to suit you and you will enjoy Rio in a whole different way. Lastly, Camilo is so committed to making sure we have good memories he even took photographs and video clips of our entire tour and gave us a link to upload. If you want to see a Rio in a whole new light at your own pace without wasting time on a tour bus, booking Camilo is the way to go.
