My guide Daniel was amazing. We saw all the key sites and he made the whole experience easy and insightful. In addition to the key sites, he took us for lunch at a local place with amazing views. The private tour was in complete comfort and we were able to customize to see what was important to us. I highly recommend this tour to get the most out of RIO!!!

Danny is a true professional! He is a great communicator, is very knowledgeable of the history of Rio and a very safe driver. We felt comfortable the whole time! We were only planning on doing 2 days of sightseeing but decided to have Danny take us around a 3rd day. Thank you Danny!

I have travelled to 41 countries and Rio de Janeiro is one of the most spectacular cities I’ve ever visited. Daniel allowed me to make the most of my 4 days by catering an itinerary to my goals. He was punctual, friendly, fun, knowledgeable, authentic, affordable and most importantly made me feel extremely safe. The restaurants that he recommended were a home run every time and he suggested some sights and experiences that only locals know about. He is born and raised in Rio, a true Carioca, and his English is perfect. The time that you save by visiting sites in a strategic manner as well as the insider knowledge is enough to justify the cost but I guarantee your expectations will be exceeded. If you are visiting Rio for the first time I highly recommend his services.
