Maracana stadium tour review with Victoria
Victoria was an excellent guide who spoke perfect English and was very insightful with the neighbourhoods and surroundings of Rio. Her knowledge of the Maracana stadium was impressive and she made Michael and myself feel comfortable. Our driver was very informative and professional as well. Can’t recommend someone doing this tour enough. It only takes a morning and you have plenty of free time the rest of the day!

Trip to RJ
Efraim has been a wonderful guide, extremely friendly, cultured and attentive to any questions. I would highly recommend him and am invited to take the rest of my river tours with him next time.
