Rio de Janeiro city tour without endless lines

Daniel stepped in last minute for me and was great. Really personalised tour based around my interests, and navigated the chaos of Christ the redeemer which took the stress off. Super knowledgeable local guide who was great company during our tour time together. Highly recommend! Thank you.

We had a lovely day with Ryane! It was super fun to discover Rio with her, she was very knowledgeable and had a lot of interesting facts, she was super flexible and very organized. Her passion for the city was contagious ❤️

I wish to express my appreciation for the excellent professionalism of Daniel Tour Guide in Rio de Janeiro, whose work was noted for its punctuality, deep historical and cultural knowledge, and always friendly and respectful treatment. Their ability to convey information clearly and enjoyably, as well as their constant willingness to attend to every detail, made the experience enriching and memorable. Their performance reflects a high level of commitment and quality of service.

Daniel is articulate, smart, knowledgeable. Was responsive to all of our requests. Provided in depth information on all tours. Went the extra mile on recommendations. HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you use him.

We just spent two full days with Daniel and couldn't be more impressed. If you are looking for a guide in Rio de Janiero, Daniel is THE guide! We were all over the city, and saw everything we wanted to see. One of our friends has a mobility issue going on right now, Daniel couldn't have been more accommodating. Daniel will customize your tour. Daniel is a consumate professional. He is very educated, he speaks a few languages. He's courteous, kind, and a class act. His contact info is: danielpedrozal170@hotmail.com

Daniel was a FABULOUS guide. He gave us a great taste of Rio and took us to places we would have never thought of ourselves. He was knowledgeable, patient, flexible and so friendly! He crafted the day beautifully and was sure to help us get the most out of our time in the city!

Daniel is the history teacher you always wished you would have had. There is not a single question he couldn’t answer… And trust us, we asked a lot of questions. He took us through the entire history of Brazil, and didn't miss a date. Here are a few things that stood out: 1. He personalizes his tours: before the tour, Daniel asked what we’d already seen, what kind of balance we wanted between culture, history, nature, and local life, and if we had any must-sees. Even if you’re not sure what to suggest, he’ll somehow figure out exactly the kind of experience you’re looking for. 2. He’s attentive and thoughtful: Throughout the tour, Daniel paid close attention to what piqued our interest. By the end, he had put together a list of recommendations we never would’ve discovered on our own. 3. He’s incredibly professional but still super easygoing: from the first contact everything was smooth. He was punctual, organized, and clearly passionate about what he does, yet his truly laidback, Carioca vibe made us feel comfortable and have fun! Hands down, the best tour guide either of us have had, and we’d like to think of ourselves as well travelled. 11/10 we will surely see more of Rio with Daniel next time we come. Mada x Claire

We hired Daniel for a private tour of Rio de Janeiro on a hot Brazilian summer day in February. Our tour took around 7 hours and we got to see a large number of things in one day, giving us a great overview over the city's different parts, from the south zone (Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblanc, the Urca peninsula) to the center (Lapa, Santa Teresa, the Royal Portuguese Library, the Cathedral) to the Tijuca National Park. He picked us up from our hotel in his car. We stopped in various places that were worth a stop and either harder to access ourselves or not among the main tourist destinations but definitely worth seeing. For the other main tourist sites that are easy to access by yourself, such as Corcovado or Pão de Açúcar (Sugar Loaf), he gave us clear instructions on where to buy tickets, what to pay attention to, etc. We loved the mix and good balance of historical facts and personal impressions that Daniel shared with us. For tourists with specific preferences on what to see, Daniel also offers to customize the itinerary as needed.

Daniel was the perfect guide for both of us. My husband and I had both been to Rio De Janeiro previously. Daniel organized our tour so that we saw many places “off the beaten path” along with revisiting some of the regular tourist spots. Daniel was incredibly knowledgeable about cultural and historical facts. His English is great. One of the things we loved about Daniel is that he was fully engaged and present. So many guides these days are busy texting about either business or family issues. Not Daniel! He was always with us and fully focused. We spent 2.5 full days with Daniel. You would be well served to hire Daniel as your guide in Rio De Janeiro.

Daniel is the best! My wife and I visited Rio to celebrate our anniversary and hired Daniel as our guide. He customized our tour based on our interests and took us to a few places that are loved by locals. Daniel also has a great sense of humor and is easy to talk to. The kind of guy you want to grab a beer with and watch a game with. We are so thankful for Daniel and highly recommend him!
