From Iconic Sights to Michelin Dining—Perfectly Guided

5.00We booked a full-day private tour with Isaac and could not have been happier with the experience. We visited Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Selarón Steps, and enjoyed shopping in Santa Teresa. Isaac was an excellent tour guide—kind, attentive, informative, and genuinely friendly. He allowed us to set our own pace throughout the day and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every stop, which made the experience feel truly personal rather than rushed or scripted. One of the biggest and most memorable surprises was lunch. Isaac took us to Território Aprazível, and the food and cocktails were absolutely outstanding. As we were leaving, we learned it is a Michelin-recognized restaurant—which made perfect sense given how spectacular the food and service were. To top it all off, Isaac also secured dinner reservations for us and arranged our airport transfer, truly going above and beyond what we expected from a tour guide. His attention to detail and willingness to help made our time in Rio effortless and unforgettable. I highly recommend Isaac and will absolutely book another tour with him in the future.
A Seamless and Enriching Private Tour Experience with Isaac

5.00We had an excellent experience on our recent tour, made even better by our guide, Isaac. He got in touch a day beforehand to help us arrange tickets that weren’t included, and gave clear advice on when to purchase them, which made the whole process seamless and hassle-free. We chose a private tour, and it was absolutely worth it. Isaac speaks fluent English and has a deep knowledge of Rio de Janeiro’s history and culture, which he shared in a way that was both engaging and easy to follow. He accompanied us throughout the entire tour, providing helpful explanations at every stop and making sure we fully appreciated each location. He also helped us navigate queues and manage waiting times efficiently, which really enhanced the overall experience. The tour was well-organized, informative, and enjoyable from start to finish. We would highly recommend Isaac to anyone visiting Rio.
An unforgettable day

5.00It was a fantastic excursion. Our guide, Isaac, had incredible knowledge and planned the day perfectly. We saw a lot of places, but no rush. Isaac knew how to organize everything, so we avoided long lines and enjoyed the best views. Also, it was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to him. We could never have seen or learned so much in a single day if we had tried to do it on our own. Isaac contacted us the night before to confirm everything and helped us get the tickets we needed.
Awesome

5.00*Excellent experience with this tour in Rio. The tour guide Isaac is the best, very well-known, enthusiastic, and professional. Every question was answered perfectly. I had little time to explore the city and saw more than I could have imagined. The tour was well-organized, thanks to Isaac. I returned to my country in love with Rio, thanks to this perfect day. Highly recommended.*
