We had a GREAT time touring with you in your beautiful city. Thank you so much for showing us all the sites. We especially enjoyed the Samba School farmers market, and Selaron Stariway. Of course Corcovado was amazing and feeding the monkeys on Sugar Loaf. We have great pictures of it all. If anyone should request a reference we would be happy to reply. You are the BEST!!

Even though it rained in Rio, we really enjoyed your company and had a great time with you. You were the best guide we have ever had and can't thank you enough for making our tour so much fun. We still laugh at the sight of you sitting in the pouring rain taking pictures of us at the Christ the Redeemer statue. We talked to other people on the cruise and they were not happy with their tours and some were even cancelled because of the rain.

Neyla's personality is fantastic and we were laughing and learning the whole time. She loves her city and wants to share as much of it as she can with visitors. We had a great time, and highly recommend her to others.
