Excellent Authentic tour of a Rio de Janeiro Favela

Russo's tour of the Vidigal Favela was superb and it was a privilege to explore the area with him. His detailed explanation and many stories of his childhood growing up in Vidigal along with our visits to his friend's social projects and seeing their houses first hand really brought everything to life. Thanks Russo, this was a real highlight of our Brazilian Family Adventure! Highly recommended if you are looking for an authentic tour of a Rio de Janeiro Favela

Greatest Tour in Brazil!

Isaac was a tremendous tour guide! The entire day spent exploring Rio from Jesus the Redeemer to Sugar Loaf Mountain was excellent! The driver was on point and the tour was 10/10 from start to finish! Booking a private tour vs a group is so worth the money!

Thank you Augusto!!

Augusto was such a great tour guide for our first Rio trip. He was knowledgeable, caring and very engaging. His English is fantastic and he was kind enough to switch between English and PT since we had varying levels of fluency. We also really appreciated both the customizability and his input since we were experiencing a rainy Rio day. Overall, a fantastic experience

Friendly tour guide and driver

Gabrielle was super friendly and accommodating of our needs. Our father just broke his foot and needed to walk slowly as he is recovering. She adjusted the group’s pace accordingly. She also shown us good photo spots. The driver and tour guide both helped us find ATMs around the city, which was really appreciated because our bank card did not work in some machines. Thank you!

Exploring Angra Dos Reis and Ilha Grande in One Day

Jonathan_B, Apr 2026

Great Day Trip

This is a nice little boat getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of Rio for a day. The bus picked us up right in front of our hotel and it was about a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the boat location. The bus was very comfortable and allowed you to rest. On the way there, we were able choose optional activities (for a fee). I chose to jet ski and have my picture taken with the fishes. The prices were very reasonable. The actual boat was 3 decks and spacious enough to fit around 40 people comfortably. There was good music playing and a fully stocked bar to purchase drinks. There were 4 different spots where we were able to do the activities and swim in the ocean if we wanted. Stop 3 is where we were served lunch. It was buffet style with a decent selection of options. We did have to pay for drinks and dessert if you wanted them. After the last stop, we were able to catch a beautiful sunset over the ocean. We were dropped off at our hotel around 8pm. The experience was definitely worth the money.

Issac was an excellent...

Issac was an excellent guide and despite my dad and I being the only 2 English speakers on the trip, he did his best to keep us included and felt welcome. The trip was very organized. Lunch was delicious. Every stop was done with enough time to enjoy it well. I would definitely recommend this trip for anyone visiting Rio without much time in their stay.

Wonderful day

Guilherme and his driver were absolutely wonderful. I travel with a portable oxygen concentrator and walker, and they went out of their way to make sure that everything was as easy as possible, and that I was able to participate in all of the activities. I can’t believe that he speaks so many languages and was able to keep up with everybody. He was able to answer all of our questions and shared lots of history and stories with us. Lunch was in a nice restaurant and food was great. It was a long day, but was definitely well worth it as we covered quite a bit!

Highly Recommend This Experience!

An amazing tour from start to finish! It felt like the itinerary was created just for me — because it was! Luis was fantastic, knowledgeable, and made every stop interesting. Everything was well organized, flexible, and tailored to my interests. He took the time to understand what I wanted to see and made thoughtful adjustments along the way, even going a bit over the allotted time n order to do so. I felt well taken care of and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend!
