5.00I took this tour, feeling very nervous as a solo traveler in Rio. My guide, Igor, went out of his way to help me feel comfortable, and adapted the tour completely based on my interests. Both Igor and the driver, Romulo, were attentive and kind, and I felt completely safe and had an amazing day seeing And experiencing Rio. I learned so much about the culture and history of Rio, that I would never have known by exploring on my own.

5.00Outstanding tour of Rio de Janeiro. We saw so much during our day long tour with Isaac. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Brazil and Rio, as well as the site he was taking us to. He was pleasant, flexible, and accommodating. We learned so much! We were only in town for two full days, so this was a wonderful way to see all the major highlights. Would highly recommend without reservation!

5.00We had an incredible time exploring Rio with our guide, Alex. From the moment the tour started, he was warm, knowledgeable, and full of fun facts about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. He made sure every stop — from Christ the Redeemer to Sugar Loaf and the Selarón Steps — was smooth, safe, and memorable.
