Our guide Leandro was amazing. His knowledge of the areas we visited was excellent. He was very friendly and informative. He has a great personality and was very considerate. He made sure we saw many things. Unfortunately the tram was closed due to pre-carnival groups and activities. Many roads were closed as well but Leandro knew how to drive around them.

This was booked as a private tour and Leo the Guide met us at the hotel and took us in his car to see the sites. He arranged the itinerary to suit our ability so that we don’t get too tired. We saw the pyramid church, went on the tram ride walked about Santa Teresa area and the famous steps. He even included a short visit to the beautiful library and a gallery in a private villa with wonderful views. Overall, his attitude and commentary made our day very pleasant.

Leandro was an amazing guide... Knowledgeable, interesting and very accommodating. He picked up on our interest in art and gardens and made the tour very special. He was unhurried so we could take time where we wanted to. Comfortable car. We have no hesitation in recommending. Leandro - thanks again for a fabulous time, Colette and Leslie (London UK)

Thanks to Leandro we had two wonderful tours through Rio de Janeiro. He took a lot of time for us and took really nice pictures of us. He is a very nice and polite person. Highly recommended! That was the third tour with him. Gladly again! :)

We had a great time with Leandro. He knows the city inside and out. He tried to maximize our experience. Took us to the touristy places but also to some lesser known places. We had 2 days with Him. The second day was Father’s Day. He still worked until late in the day. Would recommend him to anybody.
