Fabio was a fantastic guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, considerate, and personalized our tour based on our interests. He was extremely attentive and took time to make sure we got photos, saw wildlife, and made sure we got the best vistas possible as weather conditions shifted! Highly recommend this tour and especially Fabio.

I couldn't have picked a better tour guide than Fabio! He was very knowledgeable of the area and history of our attractions. He also seemed like he loved what he does and working with people, very happy individual like most brasileiros that I have met on vacation here. Fabio spoke English well and I could tell that he had many years of tourism experience, never a dull moment for sure. Thank you so much Fabio, Matt

Our tour was brought to life by our driver/guide Fabio, who even arrived to collect us exactly on time. We were able to see parts of Rio's surrounding that you couldn't get to in a bus. Fabio knew so much and gave us very interesting info as we drove through the rain forest (with monkeys) and eventually to the Botanical Garden. Would definitely recommend the tour if you get Fabio.

We booked this private tour for 6 people. The driver and guide Fabio were waiting for us. We went to two very nice stops in the Tijuca forest. Unfortunately on our way back to the Botanical Gardens, we got stuck for an hour in a traffic jam due to an accident in the tunnel. Fabio more than made up for this delay by extending the tour and escorting us through the Botanical Gardens. He wanted to make sure we were satisfied with the service. This was a great way to spend our final afternoon in Rio. I definitely recommend this company.
