Private guided Rio tour with hotel pickup, flexible stops, beach time, and expert help with tickets and timing for a smoother day.

“Our guide Meilin made this day truly special. U do NOT need a guide to go see Christ or Sugarhill. U can easily do it with an Uber and buying tickets online. Meilin went above and beyond to share facts and history about Brazil while showing us a few secret places. I would recommend using a guide to see more unique places, not the stand in line tourist traps.”

He was born in Rio, moved to the US as a child, and returned to Rio to open a tour business a few years ago. He’s a great blend of Brazilian and US culture. So, if you’re looking for a great guide in Rio, try to book with Bruno. A+++++++++++”

Due to our docking issues, our delightful Lorraine had to leave, but professionally introduced us to Alex. Alex finished our tour with a drive around the historic area and to our delight took us through the Lapa neighborhood carnival to the colorful mosaic steps. What a fun experience to be a small part of Carnival. It was a great day and everything we could hope for.”
