5.00Alan offered a tour like no other: Hidden Gems. It was so special! We visited off-the-beaten-track places that we would not have known otherwise.

5.00From start to finish, everything was well organized, enjoyable, and memorable. Alan is not only very knowledgeable, but also friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture and history of Brazil with us. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. We truly appreciate all the effort and care that went into making this journey so enjoyable.
The perfect day in Rio with Alan

5.00Alan Denis was informative and patient with our questions about the favela, and he let us know when it was ok and not ok to take pictures. The tour pace was great, and the Maze was, well, amazing!
