Best day in Rio with Awesome Guide

Published on Sep, 2021

Jalbier provided a top notch tour experience. He was our private driver for an entire day and took us to all of the main attractions. He allowed us to take as much time as we need it to enjoy the attractions. he also knew where the best viewing spots were at each destination to get the best pictures. In addition he was extremely knowledgeable as a tour guide and provided all of the history for each of the attractions that we visited. We visited the beaches, Christ the redeemer, Celaron stairs, the downtown historical sites as well as dined on authentic Brazilian lunch. He was prompt on picking us up and a good driver too. In addition he got our tickets for us in advance so we did not experience any long waits or lines. Lastly he was a great translator to help us negotiatepricing whenmaking purchases. If you are on the edge about booking this tour I would not even hesitate. It is worth every penny and please do yourself a favor and request Jal!

Andre is. GREAT guide! He is very knowledgeable and personable. It seemed like we spent the day with a genuine friend. Our driver was kind and knew his way around thru the traffic. I highly recommend this tour!

A Day in Rio De Janeiro

Published on Feb, 2020

This was far superior to a similar tour in Rio we did a year ago that did not include Seleron Steps or Sugar Loaf. Sugar Loaf is a must! Ulysses was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He was flexible in handling our wishes. Weather was an issue and Ulysses and our driver Junior we’re willing to make adjustments. Highly recommend.

The best tour we had

Published on Feb, 2020

I have had Wagner, as my historical guide in Rio, and had the great opportunity to understand and visit the main spots of the Portuguese heritage in Brazil. Wagner has help me organize and choose the most relevant places where the Portuguese Royal Family lived. Our contact, prior to my arrival was very well organized, since we were able to be in touch since my departure from Germany. Great tour and I strongly recommend.

Excellent all round tour

Published on Jan, 2020

Our group of three were met at our hotel by Nicolly and our driver ( whose name i have forgotten - apologies) promptly as arranged. We visited Sugar Loaf , Lapa , the Cathedral, Selaron Steps and Corcovado. Nicolly and our driver were the best hosts ever with lots of local knowledge which was imparted in perfect English. We would never have been able to complete as much in one day without their local experience and we had a fantastic day. Thanks to both of you - cant recommend enough.
