Recommended for a quiet stay in Rio de Janeiro
In our opinion, when traveling to countries outside Europe with the reputation of being not really "quiet" it is good to rely on local agencies that know how to move with foreign customers and in this case Milleviagens and especially Gianluca have confirmed how much good we had read on Tripadvisor. The fact of being Italian is certainly an added value both during the negotiation and when you are on site also because they know what "cut" to give to the real tours they propose. Tour recommended and approved! Good guys and good work! Max and Elena

Tropical paradise
A well-organized group tour with pick-up at our hotel and lunch included. The excursion organized by Milleviagens as part of a package that we bought with the very professional advice of Gianluca. Besides Buzios we also visited Ilha Grande and the city of Rio during our stay. All tours with Italian-speaking guides who helped us better understand the various locations

Do not even consider this excursion
It was the worst excursion we have ever had with Viator. It has started with a 20 minutes late pick up even though it was confirmed for 6:45 AM! the night before. The "approximate" 12 hour tour took a total of 14 hours and 30 minutes that included 7 hours of transportation both ways. These 7 hours were unbearably to tolerate for any human as the van was very small and the sites were too hard to sit on. The guide periodically was asking everyone to buckle up as the bumps were causing a lot of body jumps. Def6it was impossible to rest both ways. Upon arrival our guide announced that the group is going to visit some "French actress's" monument and do shopping in the center of Buzious. Then the lunch will be provided followed by a boat tour in a lagoon. My husband and I asked about a " relaxing time on a beach" listed under tour description, but we were told that "it's not an option". Our guide supported that we take a taxi to a local beach and that's what we did! We spent almost 5 hours on a beach, did not have lunch that was included in excursion and paid for our own transportation despite hurting our spine on a bus. Furthermore the pictures posted for this excursion are not real!
