Great customized tour! We had this tour on our first day in Rio de Janeiro, which also helped us with a lot of questions and suggestions from Daniel. He was on time at 6:30am because we preferred to take the first train to visit Christ the Redeemer. His English is clear, be attentive, and relax. He also helped us to buy Christ the Redeemer tickets in advance (for some...

Daniel was a wonderful guide. He communicated with us beforehand. He met us on time. He talked us out of going to Christ the Redeemer which everyone on the boat said was hell because of the crowds and the heat. We saw ipanema and Copacabana and hang gliders, went to the Darth Vader church and the Harry Potter library and he bought us the local fried empanadas so we could...

April 2026Hi Charleyne, thank you so much for your review. Indeed, that particular day was a very difficult day to visit the monument, and I'm glad you and your group listened to me. Many agencies don't care much about the client's well-being and only think about selling. There was plenty of time left to explore the city. Now everyone will want to know what church and library those...
