Antoine took care of our entire trip. He was attentive to our expectations beforehand and then offered us a tailor-made all-inclusive program. I had nothing to do, he took care of everything (hotel reservations, transfers, shuttles, internal flights,...) and fortunately because it is very complicated to communicate with Brazilians when you do not speak Portuguese I recommend Antoine and his Francophone guides 100% Our trip was extraordinary, we took full eyes both in activities and in the choice of hotels

We had an exceptional stay in Rio thanks to Antoine and his team! From the first contact, everything was fluid, warm and professional. The different guides with whom we had the pleasure of discovering the city were passionate, attentive and always listening to our desires. The services were impeccable, perfectly organized and adapted, which allowed us to enjoy every moment. We highly recommend Antoine and his team for a 5-star stay in Rio! Special thanks to Philippe, Walmir, Fernando, Eneida, Alex, Marco, Paulo and Antoine. Julien , Maud and the 3 children.

Three dream days to discover Rio with Ivan. An exceptional immersive experience that allowed us to better understand the organization of the city, its history and also visit the must-sees like Sugarloaf or Corcovado. The highlight of our visit will be the visit of Favéla Santa Marta which immersed us in the daily lives of their inhabitants. If you’re going to Brazil, don’t hesitate to stop by Good Guide In Rio and ask that Ivan be your guide. Everything is prepared and adjusted so that you can enjoy Rio without feeling too much sometimes the world and the crowds , perfect stay!

We spent 4 days in Rio with Antoine, our GGIR guide. He came to pick us up at the airport very early (we had travelled at night from France). Welcoming warmly and immediately, he showed us great professionalism and his immense passion for Brazil. Its culture on Brazilian history, customs and habits, advice for lunch, walking... are an undeniable advantage for an unforgettable stay. We didn’t usually take a guide for our trips but our vision has since changed a lot. It was a real pleasure to travel and discover this city of Rio alongside Antoine. With him we were able to visit, among others: the Santa Teresa neighborhood, the Sugar Bread, the Christ of Mount Corcovado, the Favela Santa Marta, the mythical beaches of Rio... And what was great was that it was flexible and adapted the visits to the weather and our wishes (family with 2 children aged 11 and 9). Also, he took us to local markets (see!), small coffee shops to have a little snack like the Brazilians do. In short, we recommend 100%

4 days visit with Yvan One word: amazing! We have long been looking for a guide and Goodguideinrio seemed to us the most diversified and be the best, we did not go wrong. Growing up in Santa Theresa, Yvan is obviously best placed to take you to discover Rio and its surroundings. Passionate about history, it is full of anecdotes of all kinds. He will guide you in the city but also in the forest and even in more distant cities. The best immersion for me considering the discovery of the Favéla de Santa Marta with Marco. Yvan will be able to place you to take the best pictures on the Selarón stairs and around Christ the Redeemer. It will also show you very good restaurants with different atmospheres and culinary varieties. Best Photographer, Best Storyteller- A title of Best Guide, well deserved
