    Atendimento atencioso, serviço de qualidade, quarto com três camas, café da manhã muito bom, iniciando às 5h00 da manhã. O preço não é baixo, mas está adequado, considerando tratar-se de uma localidade de turismo de alto nível. Eu realmente recomendo.

    Luis absolutely made this tour an exceptional experience! Besides helping us actually enjoy the “must-see” areas of Rio, Luis was flowing with knowledge about history and local pointers. He communicated in English very well, recommended restaurants to visit, and even customized the tour when he learned there was some overlap with what we had already seen. He even knew the best spots (and ways) to get priceless photos of our family!!
    This tour in Southeast Brazil is organized by Luis Darin Tour Guide In Rio
