Great guide, it is the first time that I use the tourist services of Glayber, the group and I were extremely satisfied. The best tours are usually personal and in small groups, and that's exactly what he offers, he was a great guide! Very flexible, knowledgeable and above all, very attentive! It filled us with a lot of information and advice of what we could do in Rio de Janeiro. His English and understanding of American culture is excellent !!! ... I highly recommend him !. He is the best!.

Her name is Aline Scot Plavnik. She was very well spoken and incredibly knowledgeable. It was a private tour for us and we had many highlights already booked. Aline adapted to our needs easily and quickly while telling about things to see that we didn't know we should see, like the stairs and Santa Theresa.

This was my first time visiting Rio with friends and Glaybers tour service was awesome. We booked a 8 hour tour and it was filled with amazing views of the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Brazil and historical landmarks. My friends and I were very satisfied with our tour guide & the tour. I would definitely recommend using Glaybers tour service if you're planning on visiting Rio!

This is my second time using Glaybers tour services and my friends and I were extremely satisfied. The best tours are usually small in size and personal and that’s exactly what Glayber offers. Customized personal tours that offer flexibility and allow you to skip lines.

Both the two transfers to the airport and the individual 2-day tour of Rio exceeded our expectations. Those who have a 3 day in Rio available should take a private boat tour to Itaipu Beach (much nicer than Ipanema and Copacabana).

Glayber is one of the best tour guides that I’ve ever had. Glayber’s laid back personality made my trip an easy and enjoyable experience. From the moment I arrived at the airport and Glayber greeted me, I could tell he was a genuine, caring guy. He was concerned about my well being and stressed the issue of safety. You can tell that he is passionate about his work. On our tour, we visited the Christ the Redeemer statue, took paddle boarding lessons in the Barra de Guaratiba, visited the Museum of Tomorrow, checked out the art work in Centro Rio, ate lunch at Cafeteria Colombo that had some of the best desserts, experienced Brazilian nightlife at Rio Scenarium, took a biking tour around the lagoon. He also recommended some great seafood and Brazilian steakhouses. He was extremely knowledgeable about Rio. Once it was time for me to check out of the hotel, Glayber gave me a ride to the airport and personally walked me to the security gate while carrying my luggage. I look forward to visiting Rio again! Thank you Glayber for your five star service!

It was a unique and wonderful experience as I knew much more than I expected, this thanks to the Ricardo guide who was with us and each of the other people who were with us on the journey. Thank you Brazil for your stay.

I would highly recommend glaybe and his company, I booked a trip for my parents as part of their cruise to help see rio and enjoy the carnival. Glaybe was brilliant with communicating and arrange trip around their needs. This continued when my parents were there. They had an amazing time and Glaybe and his driver made this happen. Thank you so much very reliable and flexiable.

I never thought I'd go on a fishing tour in Rio de Janeiro. We started very early and we could see the sunrise that was beautiful!!! After we started fishing, we had a lot of fun, despite the super hot sun!
