Newton was fantastic. We were picked up at the airport drove around seeing the highlights including the national park around and then we were dropped off at the ship. Spoke perfect English and shared his love for the outdoors. Stay with us the whole time, translating and taking pictures for us. A perfect day before jumping on the ship in the late afternoon.

Newton was my private tour guide for 2 day tour of Rio. He is a very nice gentleman, knowledgeable and flexible enough to accomodate all my changes. On second day late afternoon evening we visited the night market of Copacabana beach. We also went to see the dinner/show of Roxy which provide a comprehensive cultural history of Brazil. I learnt a lot. I highly recommend Newton as a guide.
