Eduardo is amazing!!!

elphylactidou, Aug 2026

Eduardo was absolutely amazing and made our walking tour in Rio such a wonderful experience! He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely passionate about the city. You could really see how much time and effort he had put into preparing everything and making sure we had the best possible experience. He knows the history of Rio incredibly well and explained everything in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way. We also felt very safe and comfortable with him, as he knew exactly what we needed to know and always guided us with confidence. What we appreciated most was how flexible he was. He really listened to what we wanted and adapted the tour so that we could have the experience we were looking for. His English is fluent, and of course he is a native Portuguese speaker, which made communication effortless. We enjoyed the tour so much that we actually booked another tour with Eduardo for the following day! We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rio. If you want a knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy and genuinely caring guide, Eduardo is definitely the person to choose!

Fantastic guide and tailor-made experience!

We had a fantastic day with Eduardo in Rio! His knowledge of the city, its history, culture and local life was incredible, and he shared so many interesting insights in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. We learned so much while still having a relaxed and enjoyable day. What really stood out was how flexible and accommodating he was. The tour was completely tailor-made around our interests, and he was happy to adjust the itinerary and pace as we went along. Eduardo is a great guide and made our day in Rio really special. Thank you Eduardo!!

Great day in Rio

Rio is a very large, spread out city so you must have a tour if you want to have any semblance of the city, its culture, history etc. Eduardo was our guide and I cannot say enough good things. He was planning our itinerary days in advance. He put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring that we enjoyed Rio and saw many different aspects of the city and culture. Also, he is a very lovely person, easy to speak with, makes you feel like you are touring the city with a friend. Eduardo’s English is perfect so you won’t have an issue understanding each other. After the tour, he sent us great recommendations for restaurants and even made reservations for us. I highly recommend this tour and especially if you secure Eduardo as your guide.

Super flexible!

Zahra_A, Jun 2026

Eduardo was very accommodating of our needs and was also super flexible. My father just had a broken leg and could not walk too fast, so we took our time walking or took alternative transportation modes (Uber, subway, tram) and stopped for snacks along the way. He also accommodated our dietary preferences/restrictions. Thank you for showing us your city!

Walking tour of center city Rio!
