This was a very special trip for me. I’ve traveled all over the world, but this was the first time I had the opportunity to take my newly graduated son to a foreign country. It was an experience we’ll never forget. I especially want to thank Michael. He is, without question, the best, most competent, capable, and knowledgeable tour guide I have ever had. Michael genuinely loves getting to know his clients and takes great pride in making sure every aspect of the trip is exceptional. His depth of knowledge, extensive network of local resources, and attention to detail transformed an already amazing destination into the best trip I’ve ever taken. He managed our time in Brazil like a true professional, ensuring we experienced far more than we ever could have on our own. There is simply no comparison between touring with Michael and taking a standard tour with local operators. If you’re considering a trip to Brazil, I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. He made this once-in-a-lifetime experience truly unforgettable for both my son and me.

Michael is an exceptional guide - knowledgeable, easy going and friendly, excellent communication skills, fun to explore with. We had enjoyed the most iconic sites in Rio and desired a tour that would show us the city beyond Christ Redeemer and Sugarloaf...Michael's customized itinerary delivered a marvelous day - The Steps, Santa Teresa, Ruins Park, Tijuca Natl Park, the Barra. Superb! We could not have been more pleased with Michael as a tour guide and loved witnessing Rio de Janeiro through his experiences and his eyes.
