Alan was flexible and helpful in all ways. He worked hard to show us interesting and important places in Rio. His vehicle accommodated the three of us and our luggage. His commentary was thoughtful and amplified the places we visited. He is easy to understand and has excellent English skills. He chose a wonderful place for our lunch. This was a superb tour!!
Alan Denis was an excellent guide who gave us a very interesting tour of Tijuca rainforest and Rio’s botanical gardens. Knowledgeable and informed, he provided us with a stimulating introduction to Rio, not only regarding its flora and fauna, but other attractions we might find interesting—which we did. We’d recommend using him for any tours of Rio.
I recommend the tour. Allan was a great guide. I chose this tour because in comparison it made more stops than others. Viewpoints and emblematic points of the city are visited. It is a good option to know the forest part of Rio
