Flavio was a great guide!...

Flavio was a great guide! Although the flog didn’t allow us to see the Cristo, only for few seconds…

Operator response

Many thanks for the lovely review. On the way back we've stoped in Ipanema...hope you've managed to buy your Havaianas! Have a safe trip back to Barcelona!

Absolutely Wonderful!

Flavio was a great, trustworthy, and friendly tour guide. He spoke excellent English and Portuguese which made the whole tour great! His tour includes taking the train up to the Christ the Redeemer which makes the entire tour around 2-3 hours, instead of the usual 4-5! This was a great tour to do, especially when wanting to fit in other excursions that day as well. This was my second time going to Christ the Redeemer and this time was more enjoyable as we didn’t spend as much time in line and looking for transportation on the way there/back. I truly recommend this tour to everyone, it was fantastic!

Operator response

I'm really happy you've enjoyed the tour! It was a great day indeed and we've managed to take lot's of pictures at the most visited attraction in Brasil: Christ the Redeemer. And by the end of the tour you chose to stay at the Sugarloaf, which is the second most visited attraction. Thank you for the great review!

The best tour and the best guide!!

A brilliant tour with Flavio! We had a great experience! With Flavio the whole trip was seamless, from the pick up at our hotel to drop off. His English was flawless and he had a great knowledge of Brazil, its history and current politics along with being friendly -and interesting.We were travelling with a baby and he was super helpful with the pram and all our things. He also helped us find all the best places to take photos for memories to last a life time. 10/10 all round and gave us some additional recommendations for trips and restaurants. The best :)

Operator response

Wonderful historical tour of Petropolis

We had a fantastic tour with Flavio to Petropolis! Flavio was punctual, professional, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to! He shared lots of important history about Petropolis and Rio. We enjoyed our conversation throughout the trip. We also appreciates the comfortable car ride! Highly recommend this tour and Flavio! We would book Flavio again when we come back to Rio for another visit!

Operator response

Yes, Petropolis is incredible! There's lots to see and do at the Imperial City. Thank you for the great review here on TA.

Great Day with Flavio in Rio!

Flavio was Amazing in his knowledge of not only this attraction but advice and suggestions on other attractions whether they were good or honest when they weren’t worth it and able to suggest alternatives! I highly recommend this tour and him as an all star helpful tour guide all the way around!! Very accommodating and flexible.

Operator response

I'm glad you've enjoyed your Christ the Redeemer tour! And thank you for the lovely review here on TA. Hope you also have a great time in São Paulo before going back home.

Fun with Flavio!

Flavio was awesome. I previously visited the Christ Reedemer about a year ago, and this was just a better experience! Flavio guided us up to the top within 20 minutes compared fo an hour when I didn't have a guide. He carefully curated an experience and was very knowledgeable about the history of this amazing wonder! I wish we had more time for him to show us more of Brazil! I will recommend him to my friends in the future! Thanks Flavio!

Operator response

Thank you for the lovely review here on TA. Was a great day indeed we've had at the Christ. It's always a bonus when you have someone (a guide) who knows the best time to visit the attraction and have bought the tickets in advance. Wish you a safe trip back home!
