Perfect Highlight tour of Rio de Janeiro!

5.00We had an absolutely wonderful time on our tour in Rio de Janeiro. Alan Denis was very knowledgeable and answered any question we had. When our plans changed, he was very helpful in suggesting other points of interest we could visit. Alan was sure to have us visit the most beautiful and most interesting areas of the city. We were thankful for not only visiting the highlights, but learning about the culture and rich history of this wonderful city. We were more than happy with this tour and our tour guide.
Excellent private tour .

5.00Alan is a very friendly, professional and knowledgeable tour guide. He is one of those persons who goes the extra mile and who makes sure you are completely satisfied with the experience. He takes you to all the places offered in the tour and more, explaining very clearly along the way. His tours are very structured, but not rigid. If you want to detour to buy a t-shirt or souvenir, he will drive you to a shopping center and wait for you until you find what you want. He knows great places to eat which will not drain your wallet. We had a great experience with Alan and we highly recommend him whenever you decide to travel to Rio.
