Amazing tour of Rio Highlights in half a day

5.00Loved the Rio tour given by our guide Luis. It was a half day tour where we covered Christ the Redeemer, sugarloaf mountain. Absolutely love the guide as he shared such deep knowledge about Rio history, special flora and fauna, Pau Brasil, and details of each Rio landmark seen from top of redeemer and Sugarloaf. We also tried sugarcane juice and a local coffee on the way. He showed us the soul of Rio. Also gave us recommendations of food and coffee options.
Tour the city with a seasoned, professional, highly knowledgeable and personable local resident.

5.00Luis was an excellent tour guide. He was very responsive and proactive, and he gave me some amazing, customized recommendations that made my visit to Rio a truly standout experience. He made time for me even though I booked at the last minute. I was very grateful. 5 stars all around! I highly recommend him. Really happy with the experience and I'd certainly work with him again. I didn’t have time to go to all the places he recommended, and I’ll be back to do them with him. Thank you! 💜🏅😊
Great personalized tour!

5.00Luiz was very knowledgeable of the country, the landmarks, and the culture. He gave us great restaurants to try and described all of the things we saw in detail. He’s an amazing story teller and tour guide. He was able to answer questions , tell us about anything we asked and took us to the best chicken spot in Rio!
If you were going to go to Rio again, I would get Luis For the whole day.

5.00Luis was not available for the date we requested, so he arranged for Julio to meet us at our hotel and take us on the tour. When booking this tour, we told Luis the type of activities we enjoy, so Julio had a tentative itinerary laid out when he arrived at the hotel. However, we made some changes based on other activities we wanted to do, so it was a good combination of their suggestions and our interests. Julio was a great guide, very personable and obviously knowledgeable of the city. Since our plane didn't leave Rio until late at night, I'm glad we took this opportunity to see more of Rio before we left.

5.00I'm really appreciate and 100% recommend ! It was perfect trip and fully customized. You can definitely count on Lusi recommendation. DO visit Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain by yourself to have more time for different places in Rio.
Short trip to Rio

5.00I had a last minute trip to Rio and didn't think I had enough time to see the sights. However, I found I had a few hours free before flying back home and booked a private tour with Luis. He was fab! Tailored the tour to my interests and showed me some amazing sights. Very friendly, highly knowledgeable and has a passion for showing visitors the wonderful sights of Rio. Highly recommended. Thanks again Luis.
