See Rio in a Day

Bradly_I, Jun 2026

Great experience seeing so many different parts of Rio. Sergio was flexible and changed the itinerary to suit my needs real time but also brought lots of suggestions.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌈 We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed exploring Rio with Sergio. One of the greatest advantages of a private tour is the flexibility to adapt the day to each guest’s interests, and it’s great to know his suggestions and real-time adjustments helped create the perfect experience for you. 😊 Thank you for choosing our LGBTQIA+ tour. It was a pleasure to be part of your visit to Rio, and we hope to welcome you back for another personalized adventure in Brazil! 🇧🇷✨

Love the private tour as it allowed us to spend the amount of time we would like on each stop. In addition, David our tour guide was amazing in navigating our tour with interesting facts about Rio and Brazil.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

David, my guide, was wonderful. He went above and beyond to make the most of my tour and experience to another level. He was mindful of my needs as LGBTQ person. He was also mindful of my health needs and helping me with getting in and out of cars , going up and down the stairs. He has years of being a tour guide and knows about history . Excellent . Will book again

Adventurous at a comfortable pace

Leandro, our guide, made our trip memorable and meaningful. We wanted to see the sights, but we also wanted to get a sense for Rio. We truly enjoyed our day on the town. We were able to adapt to our speed of seeing the city and he gave us ideas about places we now want to return to.
