We had a wonderful experience with Luis in Rio! He is very knowledgeable, kind, and always willing to adapt to our needs. He brought the history and culture of the city to life with great passion, offering insights and perspectives we would never have discovered on our own. He was also extremely helpful in suggesting places to visit and activities to do on the days we didn’t have tours scheduled with him. He was the extra touch that turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. Absolutely recommended not only as a guide, but also as a person.

We did multiple tours with this guide! We spent at least 10 different days with him during our 2 week trip. He is so very knowledgeable, safe & fun to be around. 10/10 recommend!! He even connected us with a photographer so we could do our engagement shoot in front of a waterfall 😍

Fantastic time feeding monkeys, going to the waterfalls, christ the redeemer and a special treat to the local market for fresh fruits and interactions with the locals. Very knowledgable tour guide and we learned a lot on Brazilian history and culture on the ride.

I visited Brazil for 2 weeks and booked a bunch of stuff for my time there. This tour was incredible! We learned so much about the Christ Statue and the plants in the garden. I absolutely loved the stop at the market after the Christ Statue, the food tasted amazing. The waterfall shower was so refreshing and a great way to end such a great day. I highly recommend this tour
