5.00Joao is a great guide who speaks and understands French perfectly. He does not hesitate to take the time to explain in detail the presentation of Rio city and its history whether for monuments or architecture. Joao is very serious and punctual when it comes to meeting times and is given excellent advice for restaurants and tips for things to do or vice versa to avoid a rio. I highly recommend

5.00It was really great. João speaks superb French. He knows a lot about Brazil and takes great pleasure in sharing it with us. We visited the schools in Samba and had lunch in very nice restaurants. It has a car and drops us off at the foot of the monuments, perfect for people of a certain age who have difficulty walking.
