Michael was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about Brazil and its history. He made changes so we could see the most and get the best bang for our buck. He was a great conversationalist and always made us feel comfortable!

Had a great time touring Rio with Micheal. As promised he took us to the unique locations and told us the history of Rio. He was prompt, kind and fun. We didn’t want to do the touristy Christ the Redeemer or Sugarloaf! Absolutely loved Santa Teresa and had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant.

Michael did a great job of showing us Rio. We were already planning on seeing the major sites of Rio with a large group multi-day tour. Michael took us to more out of the way local places that allowed us to see the real Rio. He was very accommodating to makes changes on the fly and made sure we were not overwhelmed with the hot weather. Highly recommend Michael for your Rio tours!

Since we had been in Rio a few years ago having seen all the usual first time sites, we wanted to go off the beaten path. Michael was fantastic! We spent 2 days touring and really got an excellent feel for the city, including a 2 hour favela walking tour. Michael is extremely knowledgeable, professional and lots of fun! Highly recommended!

Michael was an exceptional guide--responsive, knowledgeable and addressed all of our requests. His experience and efficiency allowed us to see much more of Rio than we could have achieved with a traditional tour. I unequivocally recommend his services!
