Niteroi City Tour - アラン・デニス

Being great admirers of the work of the legendary Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer, we booked Alan’s eight-hour Niteroi City Tour and what a wonderful experience it proved to be. Alan is a highly knowledgeable and experienced guide but he also proved to be relaxed and easy company, meaning that the day unfolded in enjoyable fashion, without us ever feeling rushed or lectured to. He’s a very competent driver and negotiated the busy Rio traffic safely and with ease as he took us from one site to another and another. We saw everything we’d hoped for and more, and felt lucky to have chosen such a kind and generous guide. We would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking to make the most of their time in Rio and the surrounding districts. Thank you Alan for such a good day together.

We visited Niterói with Alan on our last day in Rio, taking advantage of the fact that we had the flight at night. The process to hire the tour was quick and easy. On the day of the tour, Alan arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule — which proves his punctuality — and was very kind to agree to finish the tour directly at the airport, so he picked us up with our luggage included. Niterói is a small and quiet town, with important works by Oscar Niemeyer, beautiful beaches and spectacular views of the bay and Rio. We are not very fond of extensive explanations, and Alan perfectly adapted to our request: he shared interesting information about the founding of Rio and Niterói, as well as the places visited, without going into too much detail, just as we wanted. Alan is very friendly, and his Spanish is perfect. We recommend it for any activity you want to do in Rio. No doubt, on our next visit — hopefully soon — we will go with him to see Petropolis and St. Teresa.
