Private 4 hour tour Rio De Janeiro

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a great time with our tour guide Beth. She was very informative and very pleasant. Learned a lot about Rio De Janeiro. Our driver was nice too and car was comfortable with good air conditioner. On our request Beth took us to small shop to taste typical brazilian pastries with meat and drink coconut. Highly recommend this tour and guide Beth

It was a wonderful tour,...

It was a wonderful tour, we’ve seen a lot of sighs in a short time. Beth is very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and she went above and beyond to help us to understand Rio culture. Truly special, thank you

Great Day in Rio

We were very pleased with the tour provided by Igor and Johnny the driver. Igor spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable and informative. He also made an excellent recommendation for a kilo lunch.

Amazing Rio

Published on Jan, 2025

We booked 2 tours with Trip Advisor and we’re SO lucky to get Fabio the tour guide and his driver. Jaou. The first day he and his driver were exactly on time at Rio De Janeiro port . Barry, ( Fabio) was brilliant and his knowledge was second to none of Rio and Brazils history. And Jaou knowledge of the road network was too. We were taken to Sugar Loaf mountain and on the second day Fabio and Jaou met us again to go to Christ the Redeemer. Fabio has made our holiday amazing. He even had the time to take us into the Coco cabana hotel by using his charm to get us a visit by sweet talking the manager. Then to the lovely beach bar across the road where he ordered all our drinks. Fabio is the best tour guide we have ever had and Jaou was a Gentleman. So a HUGE thank you to Fabio and Jaou

Perfect Tour of Rio Hot Spots!

Published on Jan, 2025

Just had an amazing private tour in Rio with Flavio as our guide! He was fantastic—great communication and took care of us from pickup to drop-off. We packed so much into our 4-hour tour, including the breathtaking Christ the Redeemer! If you’re looking for a memorable experience that covers the main highlights, this is definitely the way to go! Highly recommend!
