Alan Denis was an excellent guide who gave us a very interesting tour of Tijuca rainforest and Rio’s botanical gardens. Knowledgeable and informed, he provided us with a stimulating introduction to Rio, not only regarding its flora and fauna, but other attractions we might find interesting—which we did. We’d recommend using him for any tours of Rio.

I recommend the tour. Allan was a great guide. I chose this tour because in comparison it made more stops than others. Viewpoints and emblematic points of the city are visited. It is a good option to know the forest part of Rio
