What To Expect

I'll be at the airport with your name on a sign and drive you safely to any hotel or flat in the metropolitan area of Rio de Janeiro. Due to the current situation, my vehicles are sanitized after each trip and masks are available for all passengers as well as alcohol gel. I also have an oximeter and thermometer available. The transfer time depends on the time of the day. During rush hour it can reach 1h 30 min to Copacabana or Ipanema. if it is Barra da Tijuca it can take a bit longer.

Our trip was a rest, we are a large couple, I chose Barra dé tijuca, we did not know and the reviews were satisfying , it is a beauty, quiet and very safe, it is a wonderful place, the place is the beach resort Bandeirantes..... it is 54 km from the center of river by highways, nearby you have a very good Shopping, the hotel is spectacular and very well tended, huge room with balcony, super good bed with excellent cleaning, nice and complete breakfast, dinner in the hotel with very rich dishes and in tune with the "Brazilian" prices, the truth I recommend it and I plan to return....

We had airport transfers and two full days our touring with Gus. He is an excellent, professional guide. Gus is prompt and thorough with his planning. He has an exuberant personality and a passion for Rio. Gus will tailor a visit to the interests of the individual and still hit the high points. He can revise according to the weather and outside circumstances. I would recommend him without reservation.

We were on a tour and they called Gus for airport transfer. Out flight was 7 am. Our tour wanted a 3 am pick up. Gus called us at hotel and explained 11/15 was a holiday in Rio, airport only 25 minutes away, inside was very easy to navigate and we could go as late as 5 am and be fine. We decided 4:45 was great and at dinner told our fellow travelers. Our tour concierge was not happy. He called company and they called Gus and gave him problems. They wanted to change us back to 3 am. We said no and went along as discussed w Gus. Gus is a professional! Great English!! Walked us inside and helped us check in. Gave us directions to gate and all was fine!! So thankful we didn't wait 4 hours in an empty airport! Sorry for the trouble Gus! Thank you!!!
Great experience!

We booked Gus for our transfer from GIG to our hotel at Copacabana - he was there waiting with the sign as promised. He had tracked our flight as there had been a delay. Communication was great. He gave us loads of info during the transfer too. We booked him for a historical half day tour which we really enjoyed. Initial contact was via trip advisor then we communicated via WhatsApp for the trip. Would definitely recommend and already have to our friends arriving in Rio next week.

Gus has been a great guide for our stay in Rio de Janeiro. We were glad to have his services for 3 days including transfers to / from airport. He is very friendly and knowledgeable of Rio, both historically and logistically, for example which side of the Cordocova tram to sit on so as to maximise our ride experience! He is punctual in his pick-ups and is always thoughtful and flexible in finding ways for us to fully appreciate the local culture, sights and sounds of the city, especially when the weather was not permitting or if time was short. His car is clean, comfortable and spacious for our family of four with all our luggages. He is also well connected and was able to recommend good guides at Iguazu Falls and Curitiba. It was easy to communicate with him first on email then on whatsapp and he is very prompt in replying.
Gus is awesome, I highly recommend, very professional.

I was on work travel and Gus promptly picked me up from the Rio (GIG) airport, sign clearly marked and he guided me to the hotel quickly. Car was clean and cool in the hot summer - along the way to the airport he provided snippets on Rio and sites we passed. Additionally, Gus was very flexible on my work / office schedule and transferring my clients to dinner and back to the hotel. I recommend his service, he won't disappoint.
