5.00My husband and I went on the express tour during our first visit to Rio. Faby is an excellent guide, she led us on a very interesting tour of the key sites in the city. Faby is very energetic and communicative. The tour was very smooth and logistics were seamless. I would recommend to go on one of Fabys tours if you are visiting Rio they are very worthwhile and flexible based on what you would like to see and how much time you have.
We will talk about this great experience forever!

5.00Gabby was an awesome tour guide. Very educated regarding Rio and all it has to offer. The two days with her and the driver were streamlined and we were able to experience Rio in a way that we would never have been able to do on our own.
Great private tour in Rio!

5.00What really made Rio special was the people. Faby is a fantastic tour guide. She is so kind and generous. Her energy is contagious. This tour was worth every penny. Faby and I were greeted with smiles and warmth everywhere I went. I felt like part of the family. Rio de Janeiro was an absolute blast! I was swept up in its infectious vibe from the moment I landed. Copacabana Beach was my go-to spot for soaking up the sun and people-watching – nothing beats sipping coconut water with your toes in the sand. And Christ the Redeemer? Wow. Seeing it up close was a moment I'll never forget. The views from the top were unreal – I could see the whole city sprawled out below me. I really recommend her services. I am looking forward to going back to Rio and doing another tour with her.
Five stars tour! Not to miss in Rio! Faby is the best!
