He can easily help answer any questions and arrange any activities! He knows the city so well and can easily craft a whole day, half day or longer itinerary for any level of traveler! What a great experience! Highly recommend to all who are visiting!

5.00Alex planned our day using his expertise of knowing when was best to visit Christ the Redeemer and Suva Loaf Mtn. He was very helpful when we needed to order food and buy items. He held our bags and jackets while we shopped or while sightseeing! He was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Rio de Janeiro!

5.00Alessandro is an astounding tour guide. I have traveled to various different countries and I’ve never had a guide like him. He helped with transportation to and from the airport, scheduling activities such as hangliding, a helicopter ride, and multiple city tours whether it was sight seeing favelas or downtown African history. He also helped our group with our language barrier because most of us only speak English. Alessandro is personable, respectful, and has an amazing sense of cultural competency. If you are traveling to Rio de Janeiro in the near future you know who to go with as your guide!
Visit the main tourist attractions in RJ in a very pleasant way.

5.00We booked 3 tours with Alessandro. Even before we met him, he was thorough, sent us tips with regards to traveling to Brazil etc. While in Brazil and during his tours, he was attentive and provided so much cultural information which was amazing. His knowledge of the history specifically African history was simply PHENOMENAL. He was more than a pleasure to experience the city with. I definitely will be connecting with him again in the near future.
Outstanding!!

5.00If you have a chance, take this tour. It's excellent. Alex is a fun guy to hang out with and it was like like being with a friend. His English is impeccable and he is easy to understand. He can give you all kinds of details on the history of Rio and about the evolution of the city. He aso knows how to beat the crowds and traffic, take his word on it people! He even talked to some friends the day before our tour to find a good vegetarian restaurant in Rio after learning I was one going above and beyond!
Best Tours Ever!

5.00Alessandro was a breath of fresh air! Having booked a vacation to Rio for my sister and I, then realizing many activities were spread out…I was referred to and hired Alessandro. He provided private transfer to/from airport/hotel. I gave him a list of things we wanted to see/do and he made it happen. We did private day tours (10hrs) with Alessandro. Seen many historical sites in the city as he explained thoroughly. He is a local historian. He helped to book a massage (due to language barrier), and helped us navigate the city safely and efficiently when we had self days. He made shopping and restaurant recommendations that did not disappoint (Marius in Copacabana is my fave)! Alessandro was on time and early each day and went above and beyond! Will definitely hire him next yr on my return trip! Thank you so much Alessandro :-)
