This was the HIGHLIGHT of our time in Rio! Renato is an incredible host, very funny and kind, and takes you to places that are stunning and impossible for a non-local to get to. He really goes above and beyond. We can't stop raving about how much we loved the tour. We were initially hesitant about waking up so early, but it was SO worth it. Would absolutely recommend this tour.
Renato is a very helpful and welcoming person. He genuinely loves to share the beauty of his city with visitors. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The trip was exceptional, the places we went were very relaxing and natural. Not very known to most of the people. I encourage everyone to have this amazing experience!
Expect to be surprised. And good advantage of Renato's knowledge about Rio, Brazil, the landscape. It was an absolute pleasure to share this time with such a friendly local. And the places were... I don't want to spoil the surprise, really. But one cannot wish for more in this life
I recommend this experience if you come to Rio, Renato is great, and the places are very beautiful! 100% successful morning!
I would like to thank the guide Renato for the excellent walk to Praia do Secreto and Grumari Beach. From the beginning, he showed a lot of punctuality, professionalism and organization, which made all the difference for the day to pass peacefully. Our group had an elderly woman of 70 years and a child of 4 years, and Renato was extremely attentive, patient and helpful to everyone, always concerned about the well-being and safety of everyone. In addition to knowing the region very well, he led the tour with sympathy, attention and willingness to help at all times, making the experience even more special. I recommend Renato without any doubt for those who want to know these beaches with tranquility, safety and a service of excellence. Thank you for the excellent work!
Of the most amazing experiences I've ever had in my life. I met 3 wonderful places in RJ in just 1 day! Going with the guide / instructor makes everything safer is special! Of the best days of my life! 👍🏻👍🏻❤️
The experience with the River Secret Spots was wonderful. A tour that escaped the obvious scenario and rewarded with wonderful natural landscapes. Renato was an extremely friendly and friendly guide. Showed deep knowledge about the city, about the history of the tour sites and the dynamics of the city. In addition, he also took professional photos and recordings in video and photo with drones. Thus, in addition to the tour in addition to fiar kept in the heart, also got incredible records. A major difference was the customization of the script according to the climate of the day and the time of year. Super recommend!
The best ride I've ever done in Rio! We took a walk where we saw the sunrise on a deserted beach, then we visited a natural water pool and ended the tour with a wonderful 360° view of the whole city! Renato guided us super well and still was telling more details about each little place we visited. An unforgettable walk!
I had the most amazing experience with Renato from Rio Secret Spots! The little hikes were always followed by an incredible reward (either an amazing view or a wonderful secret beach). I have never experienced something similar in terms of scenery, it was incredibly beautiful! Renato knows Rio and it’s surroundings so well, you get to also learn so many things about the area! I would recommend without any doubt!
Great! Can only recommend it. Top quality.. The absolute highlight was the private pool with the drone footage
