Great walk!

This was a great walk! The guide was communicative, polite, super punctual, organized and attentive. Having a private driver (which was also an absolute pleasure) made moving around Rio to see all the places light, like a breeze of sea. He chose an amazing place for lunch for us and had water and snacks in the car. Arthur is a wealth of knowledge about history and culture or Rio and Brazil, and we have learned a lot about this amazing city and country. I would definitely recommend this experience with the agency Pirates Rio!

Role by RJ

Arthur is a super storyteller and made us feel welcome and informed from the beginning of our tour. He managed to easily switch from English to Brazilian Portuguese in order to include my mother-in-law in the conversation and explanations of each place we visited. The tour flowed perfectly from one place to another with ease and was perfectly mapped, so we didn't feel like we spent the whole day in the car. Not only did we have Arthur as a guide, but we also had a friendly driver who stayed with the car to keep it cool and pick us up wherever we were, which made us feel like VIP's. Congratulations and thanks to Arthur and the Pirates Rio team for making the tour so amazing and helping make our trip to Rio de Janeiro an unforgettable experience!

Incredible experience

This message is for my fellow travelers who are reading reviews to find a good experience: I would recommend Pirates Rio to carry out their tour in Rio. It is the best travel agency with amazing guides and drivers! On my tour I was with Katia who was very accessible, friendly and familiar with the history of various places in Rio. In addition, she made sure everything was perfect until the day of the tour, communicating with me and aligning expectations. In addition, the tour is flexible because if you have a favorite place to visit, just ask the tour guide and he will do his best to include it in the tour. Finally, Katia knows the best place to eat and definitely a good and affordable restaurant with food to give water in the mouth. Overall, I will definitely reserve the tour with the Pirates Rio when I am back in Rio. Thank you!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Our stay in Rio was very short, and the trip with the Pirates Rio was worth it! If you’re on a quick trip through Rio de Janeiro and are looking for a tour that’s worth spending your money – then that’s the perfect one! We may not have been the best guests to walk, as we ask little or no questions, as we prefer to enjoy the moment both information and views. Really worth it. The guide helped us to get to the airport as we need to suddenly leave the hotel and we thank you very much for this kindness! In addition, had a lot that Arthur helped us when we asked him and we know that this is out of his role as our tour guide but at no time he hesitated to help us. Jorge, our day's driver was very kind and friendly. Thank you again for this experience to Arthur, Jorge and the entire team of Pirates Rio!

Living in Rio

Artur and Jorge (the driver) created a magical day for me and my friend! This was probably the best TripAdvisor experience I’ve ever had and was the highlight of my trip to South America! Both were very funny and easy to talk to. They taught us about the Brazilian culture and history with mastery. Everything that day was perfect! They personalized the trip for me and my friend - from the music in the car, the restaurant we wanted to go to the kind of conversation we had. They also caught us and left us in our hotel! Arthur in addition to a tour guide who is also a historian has also proved himself a great photographer taking fantastic photos of ours. I highly recommend this tour, no doubt you will not be throwing your money out! Thank you for everything!

Fond memories of Rio! It was well organized, flexible to do the main things we wanted, and it was so informative with Arthur. We joined them as a family of 3, really enjoyed the experience, highly recommend it.
