Ms. Renata was an excellent tour guide. She was punctual, detail oriented and knowledgeable. We had a really fun experience being with her. She made sure we made the most of our time in each of the places we visited, the Christ the Redeemer, the Sugarloaf Mountain and the Escadaria Selaron. Although these places were jam packed with tourists, our photos captured by her showed the beautiful view of each tourist spots and it looked like we had the place to ourselves. If you have the chance to visit Rio, I recommend having her as your tour guide. She will show you the best places to go to. Our stay was a memorable one not just because of the beautiful photos she captured but also because of the of history of each places she shared with us.

I can’t recommend Renata’s tour enough. You will truly be doing yourself a disservice if you do not take Renata’s photo tour. She provided pick up directly from my hotel, she was right on time. Took me directly to the cristo, front of the line access. And knew exactly where to take the best pictures from the best angles, adapting with the ever changing weather. We happened to be there on a rainy day, and Renata still produced amazing pictures. She even allowed a rescheduled photo shoot of sugar loaf due to the cloudy weather and she wanted me to get the best pictures possible on my first visit to Rio. Everything went so great, she is an amazing person and can also give you other recommendations for night time and day fun around the amazing city of Rio. I can’t recommend this tour enough.

We are so glad to experience Christ Redeemer statue, Mirante Dona and Sugar Loaf with Renata. She is excellent tour guide and amazing photographer. She was very patient with my 9 years old daughter. Renata is proficient in English, Spanish and of course, Portugese. Would highly recommend her for any Rio de Janeiro tour trip. Our experience on Christ the Redeemer with Renata surpasses other 3 tour guides we had. Renata was the best.

Renata did a great job of organizing 2 days of Private tours and Photo shoots for 2 days. It was a great way to see Rio, as well as having someone take great photos of us along the way. She is a great tour guide AND a great photographer. She picked the best days and times to visit different location depending on the lighting, number of other tourists and local activities. We had a fantastic couple of days , and I have already recommended her to several of my friends. We did the early Christ the Redeemer experience and the sunset Sugarloaf experience, as well as a whole lot more!

I booked the Early Bird Christ the Redeemer experience and it is absolutely a MUST do while traveling to Rio. To experience Christ the Redeemer for opening without the crowds of people was special! Renata is so talented in photography and also makes you feel comfortable and super welcomed! She even ran up the stairs to set up for the camera to get that perfect photo! She's 100% dedicated to the work she does, is super personal, and knowledgable about all things to do in Rio. Highly recommend you book! Great guide and once in a lifetime experience!
