Wonderful tour and guide
If you want to see a lot and short on time, this is the way to go. Loved my guide. He took me to his favorite church and it had a feeling that made me cry. He had so many great places and experiences besides the list of ideas. As a solo traveler, he looked out for me at all times and I was comfortable from the beginning. Such a wonderful day!

Thanks Monica
We spent three wonderful days in Rio de Janeiro with Monica and we could not have made a better choice.
We chose a three-day private tour, about six hours a day, with a private car and driver, and every moment was organized impeccably. Monica speaks excellent Italian and English and accompanied us with great professionalism, competence, and friendliness, telling us about the history, culture, and many interesting facts about Rio.
With her, we visited Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the characteristic artistic neighborhood of Santa Teresa with its murals, the Selarón Steps, the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading, the Monastery of São Bento, the Maracanã stadium, the Botanical Garden, and the splendid Joatinga beach.
Each day was enriched by authentic experiences: she took us to the historic Colombo Café and to a local bakery where we tasted a delicious pão de queijo, also helping us discover true Brazilian gastronomy.
In addition to the main attractions, Monica gave us valuable tips, including two other wonderful beaches to visit on our own, allowing us to continue exploring Rio even after the tour.
She is a very well-prepared, punctual, and helpful guide who is always attentive to the needs of the group. Thanks to her advice, we got to know an authentic Rio, going beyond the classic tourist destinations.
We recommend Monica without any hesitation to anyone who wants to visit Rio de Janeiro with an expert, reliable guide who is capable of making you fall in love with the city. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our trip truly unforgettable!

Very nice and comprehensive tour.
This was a very nice and comprehensive tour of Rio. We decided to visit the Centro and areas around it as well as Santa Teresa and other areas, since we had gone to main attractions already. Millene was very accommodating and a great guide.

Tour guide for the limited mobility and elderly
Walter was so lovely to be with . He exceeded my expectations. We were able to go to most places on my list despite the weather . He took me to a talented artists workshop and to other shops too . I appreciated his ability to accommodate my limited mobility. This allowed me easier access to places like sugarloaf . I could not have done these activities without him .

Rio in a day
Marcos was friendly, timely and accommodating! We had a great day in Rio and went to all of the ‘must see’ spots we wanted to visit! We topped it off with a great dinner. We had one hiccup and the tour operator was quick to accommodate and respond! I recommend and appreciated the fun time we had in RIO!
