We had a truly special and memorable day thanks to Alvaro. He was generous with his time and local knowledge, flexible in accommodating our needs, and made sure we experienced the stories behind the city’s most important landmarks. Best of all, the photos he captured of me and my son are simply outstanding — memories we’ll treasure forever.

This tour was absolutely amazing. I booked on my last day in Rio and it was my best day there. Alvaro knows the best spots for pictures and hidden gems. Add on the professional photography. Pictures are so much better that way. The knowledge that comes with the tours is such a learning experience. After being in Brazil for a week, I still learned new things from him. Don’t worry, you won’t go hungry or thirsty during the day. There are a lot of great surprises in this vehicle! I am a solo woman traveler, and I felt completely safe and would book any tour with him. I felt like I was leaving a friend. Do not pass this tour up! Well worth it

We had a great experience with Alvaro ! Alvaro is a great tour guide (or a big brother like he prefers to call himself) , he knows what’s best , has a great knowledge about the city , great at communication, exceptional execution! Key highlights: 1) Alvaro provided detailed explanation and options for what’s possible along with tips for doing stuff DIY during the planning 2) Always responsive 3) He introduced us Mate and Globo snacks , I can’t remember how many packets of Globo I had after Alvaro introduced it to us during the trip 4) His car was very clean , comfortable , had wifi and drinks too PS: we loved the fact that we didn’t had to stop for lunch which wastes time and instead Alvaro prepared snacks/drinks which were great!

Did this tour solo with Saffo. From the start good communication and very well planned. I got the full package on this one combining a guide, driver, and personal photographer all in one. Very knowledgeable of the city and learn much along the way. Pictures taken nothing short of amazing. He is def one of the best all in one guides ever and if you seek a trip to rio don't hesitate to reach out. Won't regret the incredible experience provided. 10 stars out of 5.

We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. We had two young children, and Alvaro adjusted the trip to meet our needs. We got to see all the best spots in Rio and learn about the city’s history at the same time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and a great person to spend the whole day with. We’re already planning to come back and use him as our guide again. He is also a photographer and the pics looks amazing! We loved the car too!
