    Rio’s Best
    Rose_M, Apr 2024
    Tavi was a great guide! Brought us to many beautiful spots in Rio. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. We enjoyed the tour with him. Will highly recommend this tour to family and friends!
    Safe, relaxing and fun.

    Most memorable was Christ the redeemer and sugarloaf; most everybody coming to Rio wants to check these out. But this tour offer more than this, it will cover everything you need to know about Rio from history, geography to hot spots in a safe relaxed environment.
    Amazing and comprehensive tour of Rio
    Rolando_A, Jan 2022
    An amazing tour. A lot of sites are accomplished in one day, however we were never rushed. Tavi, our guide was very communicative and easy to work with. You skip most lines. We learned a lot and very much enjoyed our day. Highly recommend!
    Amazing views of Rio

    Thanks so much for coming on the tour and hope you come back to Rio some day.
    The tour should be titled “Big 5 + much, much more “

    Our guide Tavi was exceptional! He spoke English very well and there was no communication lost. We were fortunate to have his expert knowledge of the different Rio communities. He took the time to listen and answer to all of our questions no matter how trivial. He also explained the meanings and cultural implications of each and everything we explored as well as things we would pass by during our driving time from one stop to the next. Listening to his local point of view regrading the Favelas was one of our favorite parts of the trip. No, Favelas were not part of this experience, but Tavi was patient and accommodating anyway. Our driver, Chandon, was also great at navigating through the heavy influx of the “very busy tour season” traffic. The views from Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer are something that is only understood by experiencing them in person. Pictures do not explain the grandeur of their beauty. We stood in AWE at these two places and just took it all in. AMAZING!!!
    Maravilloso

    Tavi fue un guía grandioso, puntual, agradable, siempre preocupado por hacer de nuestra estancia en Río de Janeiro única y perfecta. En un día logramos conocer las principales atracciones de Río y logró adaptarla a nuestras necesidades. Uno de los mejores tours que hemos realizado. Totalmente recomendado. No podrán no amar Río de Janeiro.
