Flavio did a great job. We had him for about 7 hours, and we learned so much about Brazil and Rio and Portugese! He allowed us to customize the tour. It was late February, so the weather was perfect. Saw a ton! Ate a quick lunch while on the tour. Totally worth it!!! We would to it again. So much easier and better than trying to do things for ourselves!

We made a last minute booking in the morning at 7 AM, and Flavio was with us at 9 AM. We can't thank Flavio enough for showing us the REAL Rio! Our first day in the city was disappointing as our Hang Gliding tour was canceled at the last moment, but Flavio completely turned our experience around. With his expert knowledge, infectious enthusiasm, and personalized approach, he revealed a Rio we never knew existed. From hidden gems to local favorites, he took us on an unforgettable adventure. Flavio's passion for Rio is contagious, and his pride in sharing its secrets is evident. He listened to our interests and tailored the tour to exceed our expectations. When he learnt that we could not do hang gliding the previous day, he quickly got on a call with an expert and arranged for us to do it the same day and drove us across the city to do it! Thanks to Flavio, we fell deeply in love with Rio's vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and warm people. His guidance transformed our trip into an unforgettable experience. If you want to truly experience Rio, look no further than him. He's more than a guide - he's a Rio ambassador!

From the start, Flavio was incredibly attentive. He really made an effort to understand what each of us was looking for in the tour. He asked about our interests and adjusted the itinerary so that everyone could make the most of it. If someone wanted to spend more time at a particular place or had any preferences, he was there to adjust everything and make sure we were satisfied. This made the experience much more personal and unique.

Flávio is a *terrific* guide. He's a real carioca (a person from Rio), and he knows the city like the back of his hand. He's prompt, helpful, knowledgeable, and hard-working. Flávio has a comfortable car, and he's a very good driver. He's reliable and knows all the best hidden parts of Rio that few visitors will ever see. He offers interesting tours outside the city as well. We took a tour of his favorite beaches (Flávio is a surfer), and another tour to Petropolis, a city in the mountains about an hour north of Rio, which is fascinating and beautiful. We went on three tours in total, and each tour was flawless - and fun! Flávio is a great guy, He's friendly, he speaks English well, and he clearly enjoys his work. His rates are very reasonable as well. If you want to take a private, safe, unhurried, and thorough tour of Rio de Janeiro and its environs, get in touch with Flávio. You won't be disappointed, that's for sure.
