Private guided tour in French with Philippe What a rewarding day! First, visit the Santa Marta favela, in the presence of Marco, a favela guide who makes the effort to learn and speak a few words in French! Philippe is here to complete. Then visit the historic center , with lunch at the Cais in the Lapa district, very good modern Brazilian cuisine. Philip gave us very wise advice for the visit of Christ the Redeemer and the sugarloaf the next day, as well as places to listen to Brazilian music and many other recommendations to know. Happy continuation Philippe!

We made 2 days of tours of Rio with Ivan, super guide who passed on his passion for his city with all his knowledge: - historical details (different influences on the creation of the city and repercussions on the country) - history of art, especially through the different churches and architectures - geographical wealth and monuments (beaches, lagoons, sugar bread, Corcovado...) - botanical wealth (Botanical Garden, Tijuca National Park...) - gastronomic discoveries ... - discovery of a very interesting Favella (Santa Marta) - discovery of the typical neighborhood of Santa térésa ... in short a magnificent stay of 4 days in total in this magical city ... Thank you again Ivan for this beautiful visit and also for your advice.

Our trip to Brazil was fully prepared by the team of Good Guide in Rio. We are a couple who traveled with our 2-year-old son. We were able to work with Antoine until we came up with a proposal that suited us. Everything has been organized perfectly, from private transfers (with baby seat) to the various tours of Rio and Paraty. We were accompanied by Ivan during our visit to Rio who passed on to us the love of his country and its history. If you are comparing agencies, do not hesitate, go to them!

Thanks to our Guide Ivan, a real Belgian carioca we were able to discover Rio, mythical and breathtaking city! We made 2 visits in 2 mornings, unforgettable: the Sta Marta favela, the Sta Teresa district and the historic center. We were 3 families with children and thanks to the Minibus and Guide system we made the most of being guided with Ivan. He passed on his love for his country, his music, his culture, his history with great humor and kindness. I highly recommend!!! Thank you Ivan

Thank you very much to our Guide, Jean René for this discovery of the historic heart of Rio. In just 1/2 day, your visit allowed us to see so many different places. You were very kind, attentive, and generous in your explanations. It allowed us to immerse ourselves in the history and culture of this city. We really appreciated the museum of the future that you showed us. Thanks again. Excellent Guide!
