Gabo was great throughout our day of exploring Rio de Janeiro. His knowledge of history combined with a humble confidence helped is maximize the day while avoiding unpleasant experiences.
Your feedback is very important for us in True guide rio. We are glad to be part of this experience and to be creating new fun memories!
Extremely satisfying service, super professional, with a lot of reference and a lot of background in the history of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. Super recommend this professional.
Gabo is beyond outstanding as a guide and educator on the history and culture of Brazil and the impact of African culture for Afro-Brazilians and beyond. He is so deeply knowledgeable and respectful of Africa's influence in Brazil and how it shaped the city of Rio de Janeiro. He was so incredibly informative and kind and we felt very comfortable and at ease with him while learning and gaining an understanding of the richness of the culture. We learned so much during our time and it was very much enjoyable! And the spot he took us to for food was delicious! Gabo knows his stuff, is very trustworthy and I absolutely would recommend him as your guide on any occasion you're in Rio! This is NOTHING like the other tours in Euo where you're just a number and they teach you nothing and funnel you like all the other tourists. Gabo is DIFFERENT and AMAZING. Book this tour ASAP
We had the experience of a lifetime. The views were amazing just not enough words could express how wonderful this tour was. Our tour guide Gabo was absolutely amazing so much knowledge we’ve taken away very courteous very knowledgeable spoke wonderful English and a pure delight to be with wouldn’t want to do the tour with anyone else. Highly highly recommend. Thank you for the most wonderful day.
Gabo was a fantastic tour guide, professional, knowledgeable, thoughtful and fun! Gabo reached out the night before the tour to confirm plans, kept me updated on arrival times, etc. He gave a great history of the locations, was enjoyable to speak with throughout the tour (in English), and made sure every need was met. He's also a great photographer and knew exactly where to get the best shot. I'd tour with Gabo anytime!
4.9/5.0 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I always wanted to know Brazil but I never found someone who provided a good service. Very expensive rates and the worst; terrible work. I was ready to give up until I found the Gabrielito tour. It was the best choice of my life. Our guide was a very nice guy that I loved asking everything about Rio de Janeiro. He knew how to answer everything I asked. It was worth every penny and I'll probably come back this year for him to help us on my honeymoon trip with my wife! I know it's hard to find quality and commitment these days but believe me, with the Gabrielito tour you won't have problems! Ass: Josh A :)
A really excellent tour. The guide, Wilcelio, was the best. He explained everything so well, avoided queues and we would thoroughly recommend his tour.
Wilcelio is an exceptional tour guide. He made the trip thoroughly enjoyable, skipping long queues, explaining everything so well and if you are visiting Rio it would be a mistake not to choose him as your guide.
I've been to over 50 countries and took many tours including private. I have never had anybody as good as Gabo. He knows the history of Brazil really well. Very pleasant very professional very knowledgeable. Also want to mention that his car is extremely well kept and clean. He gives you enough time to take all the pictures and ask any questions you might have and also always offers to take as many pictures of you as you want. Doesn't rush just do the tour and take you back to your hotel. Trust me I don't think you going to find anybody better in Brazil as tour guide.
