We had a fantastic experience with Renata in Rio de Janeiro. She was punctual, warm, and engaging, with flawless English which is something that can be hard to find locally. Her knowledge of the city was impressive, and her genuine love for Rio really came through during the tour. She took us to Sugarloaf Mountain and captured some beautiful photos we’ll always treasure. Ahead of our trip, she thoughtfully recommended purchasing FastPass tickets and even sent us the link, which made everything seamless. That advice made a huge difference. The lines were extremely long, and without FastPass, the experience would have been much less enjoyable

I had a wonderful experience with Rio Photo Guides! Renata is simply amazing – super professional, attentive, and she knows Rio like no one else. She has a great eye for the best angles, lighting, and backgrounds to capture perfect shots. Beyond the stunning photos, the experience was fun and relaxed, with plenty of great insights and tips about the city. I felt completely comfortable, and the final result exceeded all my expectations! If you want to make your trip to Rio unforgettable with breathtaking photos, I highly recommend it. Totally worth it!
