Private Tour & Leonel Rocks!!!

Published on Jun, 2024

Leonel is the man. As instructed, we came downstairs 15 minutes prior to our pickup time, when we walked out the front door there he was patiently waiting. Very professional, very polite, and very knowledgeable about the history of all things Brazil/Rio de Janeiro. Loved the tour and we owe that not just to the sights we saw but to Leonel. If you're thinking of this tour, I'd say do it and specifically request Leonel because he's the man!!!

Rio de Janeiro Private Day Tour

Published on Apr, 2024

We had an amazing trip in Rio on 10th April 2024 and our trip would not be the same if it wasn’t for our great guide Tina Teixeira “TT” :) her enthusiasm and humour made our day a lot more interesting and fun! She took us to all main attractions and more! Stopping in key areas for the ultimate view of this magnificent city. She spoken fluent English and had excellent historical knowledge that she shared with us along the trip. We had a very comfortable vehicle and the driver was very careful and had a smooth drive across the city. I would highly recommend Gary Line tour company and most certainly Tina Teixeira as the tour guide. Thank you TT for making our day so special with unforgettable memories:)

Awesome tour guide - Lionel

Published on Nov, 2023

We came to the tour with an agenda of Botanical Garden, Maracana Stadium, Metropolitan Cathedral, Seleron Steps, and lunch. Lionel suggested we go to the National Park instead of the Botanical Garden, so we followed his advice. It was a wonderful suggestion! We saw the rest of our agenda in 6 hours. We were not ruched. Lionel suggested the restaurant too. If we could give 10 stars we would.

Fantastic tour of Rio!

Published on Jul, 2023

Private guided tour for a family of four. The tour included Christ the Redeemer, historic centre, Selaron Steps, Cathedral of Rio, Sugarloaf Mountain and a great lunch at a Brazilian churrasceria. A fantastic and very well organised tour, with a lot of interesting information of the great city of Rio along the way! Thanks a lot to the tour guide Flavio and the driver Eduardo!

This was an excellent way to see Rio...

Published on Mar, 2016

This was an excellent way to see Rio - tour guide spoke excellent English and gave more information that just a textbook speech. He made suggestions of things we might want to see and knew all the head of the line shortcuts to see everything with very little waiting in line. Truly made us feel like VIPs.
