The Perfect Way to Discover Rio

Sylviane_T, Aug 2026

I had an excellent day with my guide, Vicente. He took me to all the places I wanted to visit and tailored the entire experience to my interests, making it feel truly personalized. Vicente is knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and he also takes amazing photos, which made the day even more memorable. I never felt rushed, and everything was perfectly organized. If you're looking for a private, customized tour with someone who genuinely cares about making your experience special, I highly recommend Vicente. Thank you for an unforgettable day in Rio!

Highlight of Our Time in Rio

BruceDotten, Jul 2026

Our Private Customized Tour of Rio with Viator was absolutely exceptional and easily one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Our guide, Tatiana, was outstanding—you can immediately tell she has a genuine passion for Rio and for creating meaningful, memorable experiences. Before the tour, she took the time to understand our interests, must-sees, and preferences, and thoughtfully crafted a perfect 8-hour itinerary that blended iconic sights with hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. Throughout the day, Tatiana went far beyond simply sharing historical facts. Her personal insights, stories, and energy made every stop engaging and brought the city to life in a way that felt authentic and immersive. Two moments truly stood out: a peaceful, off-the-beaten-path hike in Tijuca National Park to a secluded waterfall, and an unforgettable behind-the-scenes visit to Maracanã Stadium, where we explored the locker rooms, stepped onto the field, and even took a few shots on goal. We’ve traveled extensively and experienced many private tours around the world, and this was, without question, the best. If you’re considering a tour in Rio, book this experience—and be sure to request Tatiana. It will be the highlight of your trip.

“If you are looking for the ultimate Rio experience, look no further than Tatiana! We spent an incredible day hitting all the heavy hitters—Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain,Copacabana, and more—and she made every moment feel seamless and special. Tatiana is so much more than a guide; she’s like that well-connected friend who knows all the secrets to beating the crowds and finding the best photo ops. The absolute highlight? After a busy morning of sightseeing, Tatiana went above and beyond to find time to drop us off right at Copacabana beach so we could go for a swim. It was the perfect way to cool off and experience the 'Carioca' lifestyle firsthand. Do yourself a favor and book her immediately!"
