Excellent communication customizing our tour before our trip. Our tour guide Tiego was great. We visited Christ the Redeemer where Tiego stayed with us the entire time and pointed us in the right direction and lines. We also observed Sugar Loaf Mountain but didn't go up. Tiego was very informative on our driving tour of the city. We stopped to visit the Selaron Steps as well.

Rio with friends

Great communication with driver

annabelle_m, Mar 2026

Be prepared for chaos at the port of Santos Brazil. It was a little confusing. Our driver was in contact with us at all times which was a big plus!!! There were people there at the port that seemed like they were trying to get us to take another vehicle but our driver said not to get into any vehicle. He provided us with a picture of his license plate so we would know which vehicle was his. Once we were picked up it was a smooth ride to the hotel in São Paulo.

Vitor, a great tour guide

Judith_F, Jan 2026

Vitor did an excellent job as our all day tour guide (our plane didn't leave Rio till 930pm) He was helpful and courteous. He offered interesting history and backround into sights. He explained things clearly. We were in good hands and learned a lot about Rio and history.

Tour led by a gentleman and scholar

wolek, Jan 2026

We had a great time. Pedro, our guide, is a historian. We asked him to take us to historical sites in Rio. He took us to many interesting sites and with his knowledge of history made each site we visited interesting and educational. He was an excellent guide and would highly recommend him and this tour to anyone interested in touring around Rio.

Rio private tour

Saverio_N, Dec 2025

Two thumbs up!

Linda_L, Nov 2025

Pedro was an excellent guide. So relaxing to know that you could see anything you wanted at your own pace. He made sure we knew exactly how to get in the right lines at the major attractions and safely navigated us through parts of old town that were a bit sketchy. Easy to talk to.

Excellent Tour! Superb Tour Guide!

VIKINGTENGGORA_W, Jun 2025

This tour absolutely excellent choice for first time come to Rio de Janeiro. VITOR is an excellent Tour Guide. On time, professional, knowledgeable for many things in Rio and Brazil, funny, fluent in English and very capable. My family was so happy and of course I will use this tour again if travel to Rio again and request VITOR as tour guide! Thanks VITOR , you make our holiday become unforgettable 🙏🙏

Highly Recommended

Excellent tour of Rio de Janeiro. We were picked up right on time, as scheduled. The car we toured in was comfortable and air conditioned. We saw a lot of the city in a short amount of time. The guide took us to a delicious, out of the way restaurant for dinner and then dropped us at the airport in time for our evening flight. It was a wonderful tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Awesome guide

XFFlora_J, Mar 2025

We booked a private tour of Rio for 6 hours. Vitor was our tour guide/driver and we couldn’t have asked for a better person. His English is excellent. He’s very accommodating and shared some interesting facts about the city and the places we visited. The vehicle is clean and spacious. We had such a great time with him we booked him for our airport transfer. The tour is wonderful. If you are in Rio book it!

Best guide

Sergio_M, Feb 2025

My guide Vitor was an excellent person. I actually recommend this tour. He took me to see things that I wanted like the Maracana stadium, Christ of Redeemer. Among other things.

Seeing Río the way you want to!

FaridaDouraid_K, Jan 2025

Vitor, our driver and tour guide was extremely helpful and friendly throughout the planning, preparation, and execution of the tour. He arrived early to start our trip and had a great car with a glass ceiling (a huge advantage for those sitting in the back :-) He added few stops to the tour that were worth exploring. He also recommended a restaurant that we would have never thought of but it did offer us a very unique experience. We highly recommend Vitor and this tour to anyone who knows what they want to visit in Rio and would like a personal experience.

Great 9 hour tour with Victor .

Bobby_H, Dec 2024

We have been to over 30 countries, many many tours, we would say this one with Victor was the best tour of all our tours over last 15 years, He was in contact with us as to the pick up site . A picture of himself with a tablet with our name on it . He also one of the most professional Guid we have had , he spoke better English than me , he knew all the past history to date of the sights we went to.we had a 9 hour tour , we enjoyed the whole 9 hours , we would give Victor a 10 if we could,

Very flexible and kind

Sean_p, May 2024

We had a wonderful time with Vitor our driver/host for the tour. He filled us with lots of Rio info and history along our 6 hour private tour. He added and rearranged things we wanted to see and maximized the day. He was very courteous and made sure we felt welcomed. All in all an awesome day with an awesome guide.

John_T, May 2024

Whirlwind tour of the best of Rio and Vitor was tremendous! I told him my two must sees (Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf) and let him fill in the rest. He took us all over town and explained everything in great depth from his amazing pool of knowledge.

Tour a Rio de Janeiro

Giulia_F, May 2025

Esperienza assolutamente fantastica! La nostra guida Vitor è stata super professionale, puntuale e gentilissima. Ci ha portato in tutti i punti richiesti e anche in altri consigliati da lui, rendendo il tour perfetto. Lo consiglio a tutti coloro che vogliono visitare Rio massimizzando il tempo a disposizione e che hanno bisogno di flessibilità (essendo un tour privato). Un altra nota positiva: l'auto utilizzata per il tour comodissima.
