Jalbier provided a top notch tour experience. He was our private driver for an entire day and took us to all of the main attractions. He allowed us to take as much time as we need it to enjoy the attractions. he also knew where the best viewing spots were at each destination to get the best pictures. In addition he was extremely knowledgeable as a tour guide and provided all of the history for each of the attractions that we visited. We visited the beaches, Christ the redeemer, Celaron stairs, the downtown historical sites as well as dined on authentic Brazilian lunch. He was prompt on picking us up and a good driver too. In addition he got our tickets for us in advance so we did not experience any long waits or lines. Lastly he was a great translator to help us negotiatepricing whenmaking purchases. If you are on the edge about booking this tour I would not even hesitate. It is worth every penny and please do yourself a favor and request Jal!
