A really great tour with Alan! Alan was a very friendly, competent and knowledgeable guide. The communication before the tour was excellent, so we were able to arrange all details easily, especially because our hotel was outside the regular pickup area. The pickup was on time and the whole tour was very well organized. We saw many beautiful and interesting places, had great conversations and received lots of helpful information and spontaneous tips along the way. Alan also adapted the tour very well and added some great extra stops. I would definitely do this tour again and would book with this provider anytime. Highly recommended!
Alan offered a tour like no other: Hidden Gems. It was so special! We visited off-the-beaten-track places that we would not have known otherwise.
From start to finish, everything was well organized, enjoyable, and memorable. Alan is not only very knowledgeable, but also friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing the culture and history of Brazil with us. We felt very comfortable and well taken care of throughout the tour. We truly appreciate all the effort and care that went into making this journey so enjoyable.
Alan was/is a fantastic guide, speaks perfect English, very friendly and accommodating, took his time and adapted the tour according to our wishes. Best Guide ever!:-)
Alan Denis was informative and patient with our questions about the favela, and he let us know when it was ok and not ok to take pictures. The tour pace was great, and the Maze was, well, amazing!
