Rio de Janeiro: Privat heldagstur med höjdpunkter

We had an excellent experience. Communication in advance was always fast and good. The guide and driver were on time. The guide spoke very good English, was super friendly and accommodating. We felt safe at all times. The tour includes all the highlights, we loved it. We definitely recommend this tour.

Patricia was a great guide, lots of experience of how to beat the crowds and choose great drop off locations. She took lots of excellent photos to capture our fantastic day. The driver was prompt, efficient, patient and was always where we needed him to be. We paid the extra fee for them to pre-book our tickets. We did Sugar Loaf first which we felt was good. Christ the Redeemer was very crowded but there was no cloud to obscure. Patricia took us to the top of the Selaron Steps so we got to walk down the entire length not missing anything. Strolling through Santa Teresa was a delight. Again Patricia and our driver gave us all the time we needed. Highly recommended this trip with this guide and driver.

My daughter and I booked a full day private tour with Patty. We sent a list of places we wanted to visit and she based the tour around this. Communication was amazing, her driver was brilliant dropping us off outside various sights and always there when we were ready to move on (a skill in itself with traffic and parking). Patty went above and beyond, even assisting us with links and recommendations for trips we are doing independently. 10/10 for Patty, a great lady, highly recommend.

Thank you Patricia for the wonderful time in Rio. We were in the best hands and had a great time. The transfers we booked were reliable and punctual. Our tours of Rio were perfectly organized and we felt safe and in the best hands at all times. Patricia is a well-informed and sympathetic guide that we can just recommend. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed our time in Rio. Also, we have more beautiful souvenir photos than ever!!! Thanks again for EVERYTHING!!! Kind regards and warm greetings.

Patricia was AMAZING! We couldn’t have wished for a better tour. She was so professional, punctual, knowledgeable about her city and culture, and maybe best of all- knows exactly where to place you to get the most phenomenal views of each landmark and takes great photos for you, too! She is very personable and warm, and she works with a driver who drops you all off at each landmark, and will pick you up at the most convenient location so that there’s no wasted time.

Patty is an incredible tour guide, from the moment we booked the process was so simple. She sent through the itinerary straight away and the pick up was very smooth with the driver waiting outside our hotel. We managed to get the first train up to Christ the Redeemer which was fantastic as it was before the crowds. Another highlight was the fast track up to the Sugar Loaf Mountain by passing the long queues in the midday sun. Throughout the tour we were provided useful and informative information at each place and on route from Patty which made the whole experience more unique and authentic. The driver dropped us off and picked up outside of each location which ensured we saw all the sites we did in 7 hours. We even had extra time so managed to see additional sites such as a beautiful church and Portuguese library. Meeting Patty and this tour has been a highlight of our trip and we now have a new friend. Thank you again Patty you went above and beyond and have made this trip so special for us! You must book this tour when in Rio!

An amazing tour. All tickets were taken care of beforehand. Patricia was a great guide who spoke very good English and great knowledge of her city. She took time to ensure we had a good time and took some fantastic pictures 😊

If you're contemplating a private tour with Rio Smile Tours, my advice is simple: just do it! Booking Patty as my guide was the best decision I made during my solo trip to Rio de Janeiro. From the moment we started, it was clear Patty wasn't just a guide; she was like an old friend eager to show me the best of her city. Her deep knowledge and genuine enthusiasm made every moment memorable, turning what could have been a typical tour into a personal journey through the heart of Rio. Obrigada, Patty! ❤️

There is simply no better tour guide in all of Rio than Patty. She is so knowledgeable, organized, fun, professional and packs a LOT into a tour. We love her so much. Our tour had us visiting all the most popular spots, plus a few less visited ones. Patty ALWAYS had an answer to our many questions about the city, culture, food and history. I don't know how one human retains that much knowledge. She custom designed and executed tours specifically for us, even helped with questions when we weren't on tour. XOXO The only thing she needs to improve is her ability to keep me out of the Havaiana shops. :-) I recommend her 1000%. Such a bargain for a well-rounded, fantastic tour guide. Love you, Patricia!

Patty is the best! I had 7 wonderful hours with her. She took care of me and made me feel like a visiting friend more than a customer. I recommended her to all my friends. She is the first familiar face you want to see when you arrive to Rio once you leave hotel for a tour.
