There's more to the must-see experiences

JohnR_C, Jan 2023

Luis absolutely made this tour an exceptional experience! Besides helping us actually enjoy the “must-see” areas of Rio, Luis was flowing with knowledge about history and local pointers. He communicated in English very well, recommended restaurants to visit, and even customized the tour when he learned there was some overlap with what we had already seen. He even knew the best spots (and ways) to get priceless photos of our family!!
