I had an amazing time with Fabiana and Marcelo. They took me to Christ the Redeemer by train, Sugar Loaf Mountain (recommend getting the fast pass!), Tijuca National Park on the first day - with a final stop in town at the Portuguese Cabinet of Reading (only open during the week). I enjoyed myself with them so much that I booked a half day with them the following day to see more of Rio’s delights. They are a fantastic duo - so kind, easy going, knowledgeable and they have a great sense of humour. I highly recommend doing a private tour with them. Thank you Fabiana and Marcelo!tstark9119

We were extremely concerned about traveling to Rio because I we have heard from everyone and anyone is that you would be mugged! Let me clear the air on that, it will be “ muggy” due to humidity depending on the time of year, but we felt safe the entire time we were there and our guides ensured ...
We were extremely concerned about traveling to Rio because I we have heard from everyone and anyone is that you would be mugged! Let me clear the air on that, it will be “ muggy” due to humidity depending on the time of year, but we felt safe the entire time we were there and our guides ensured our concerns and helped us bust the myth! Once the tour was booked, Marcelo reached out to confirm the tour and shared some information and take back any requests. Before we left for Rio, Wagner reached out to confirm he was our guide and that he would be there to get us upon arrival. We arrived early into Brazil and were through customs and out the door in record time! Through whats app we informed Wagner & he gave us more instructions on where to go and how to get there. Constant communications were great and in no time, they arrived to pick us up, early and ready to go. I have to give a shout out to Jun (our driver) as he was an ace behind the wheel, getting us safely and surely through the narrow and winding streets of Rio and adjusted the dropped off’s/pick up/s based on places that would make it easiest for my wife who has bad knees and this was greatly appreciated. Wagner had a wealth of knowledge and gave us pointers and information throughout the tour. We saw many wonders and were able to close the day with a carnival experience tour the week before the actual carnival! This was one of the highlights of our tour and we are grateful for the experiences. We arrived at the airport with plenty of time to get in and rest up for our flight. Wagner checked on us to ensure we made it to the gate on time; once again great communicators. We cannot recommend this company enough; our thanks to the team for making this special day happen.robertgC6352YO
