Traveling with a wheelchair in a different country is always scary, but Michael made sure we were able to get through all obstacles. He was knowledgeable, compassionate, and very helpful. I'd book him again in a heartbeat the next time we're all in Rio.

Michael was a great guide! We visited all the locations that I had mentioned in advance. The tour was suppose to be 4 hours, but it ended up being quite a bit longer without any extra charge. I was dropped at the airport after the tour.

Had a great time touring Rio with Michael this month. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the city and I feel like I learned so much even in the short time we spent. Got to see many of the cool sites in the city and gain insights from him. Would def recommend.

Michael is incredibly communicative - he reached out early, brainstormed ideas, and stayed on top of changing conditions (two cruise ships landed the day of our tour and he proactively reached out to start tour earlier). He's knowledgeable, personable and a "local friend". He also knows the best places to take photos - experience for you! Highly recommended

Absolutely perfect tour. Michael was charming, knowledgeable, and great with communication. He went to college to train for this, and it shows. We are not big on touristy traps and crowds. He took that information, and we spent four hours seeing so much. Christ the Redeemer from a "secret location" away from the masses, the tile steps early before the crowds arrived, neighborhoods, history, cobblestone streets, and then lunch at a great little neighborhood place he knew.
