Highly recommended tour

For us, we had a clean slate of what to expect on this tour. We watched Utube videos and yet was still pleasantly surprised about the knowledgeable information we received!!! Our guide was very patient and informative with the whole group, yet took the time for individual one on one sessions when it was available!! We feel our guide Maiko was the difference in making our tour a fantastic experience!!

Loves the day!

This was absolutely an amazing day! Make sure you have a little bit of patience of flexibility as the weather and traveling with a group sometimes needs adjustment. Julia was an amazing guide! She balance an incredibly pleasant personality with a little bit of firmness needed to navigate a group of almost 20 people. She was very educational while still engaging with the people in the group. I would certainly take another tour with Julia!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful private tour with Frederico! Frederico was absolutely wonderful! He took me to so many incredible places throughout Rio and shared so much information about Brazil, the history, the culture, each place we visited, and even things we saw along the way. I learned so much from him throughout the entire day. What really stood out to me was how kind and patient he was. I was having some difficulty walking and was moving more slowly, and he never once made me feel rushed. He was incredibly attentive, helping me cross streets, holding my hand when I needed it, and helping me get on and off the vans and cable cars. I felt very safe and well cared for the entire time. His English was excellent, which made everything so easy, and he was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely kind. Even after the tour was over, he sent me suggestions for other places I might enjoy during the rest of my time in Rio. Frederico went above and beyond and made my day in Rio incredibly special. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour. Thank you, Frederico, for such a memorable day! ❤️

We had a wonderful experience touring Rio with Isaac! He customized the day around exactly what we wanted, including Christ the Redeemer, lunch by the bay, and beautiful stops throughout the city. When my husband wasn’t feeling well, Isaac was incredibly flexible and even helped us make an impromptu pharmacy stop, translating for us and adjusting the itinerary with ease. We felt safe, cared for, and never rushed. We enjoyed the tour so much that we would absolutely book with Isaac again when we return to Rio. Highly recommend!

Best Seats in the House

The show, especially the 2nd half was entertaining and musically educational about all of Brazil. First rate dancing and singing all in a fun way. Great visuals. And the food isn’t bad either especially if you factor in the # of folks being fed. Our aviator tickets were in the front row and centered. They cost less thru aviator than I would’ve paid via our tour group too. Excellent job aviator.

Brian_L, Feb 2026

Best Helicopter

Took a helicopter ride with Helicopter Rio de Janeiro, and it was a great experience. The helicopter was clean, the pilot was professional, and the staff was friendly and courteous. Karine, one of the managers, was especially great—very helpful and welcoming. Flying up to Christ the Redeemer and along the coastline of Rio de Janeiro was unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re in Rio.
