Jose met me promptly at the agreed time and place and had plenty of suggestions for things to do and see during the day even though access was limited by carnival. He speaks English fluently so there was no struggling to understand each other. His transport is in good condition. It was good to attend a blocos party with someone with local knowledge. The evening entertainment was also fun. Overall, the tour is good value especially if it is possible to share the cost with a couple of others.
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Jeanette, Nice to hear from you! Thanks for the kind words. It was fun take care

Jose was a wonderful guide. He was informative, organized, flexible, and he spoke excellent English. I highly recommend him! His expertise of photography was very valuable. He knew all the hidden areas to stop and enjoy the beauty Rio has to offer. Anyone who is looking for a guide who loves nature, architecture and the Brazilian culture should hire Jose. He was also very safe with me and my camera equipment. Thanks Jose!!!
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Teresa, Thanks for the nice comment. Despite the cold wind atop of Corvovado and Sugar Loaf, we were able to cover quite a bit of ground and in return I believe that you got some great shots of Rio. It was a pleasure to serve you. Take care.

Jose and I spent two full days together, and I give him the highest credit for making them fascinating and memorable. Having been to Rio before, I was interested in "behind the scenes," non-touristy, "insider" experiences, and Jose put together customized itineraries that showed his deep and broad understanding of the "heart and soul" of Rio. Any tour guide can show you the major sights (Jose is I am sure one of the best at doing this), but it takes a special guide like Jose to bring a city to life.
