Nous avons passé deux jours de visites passionnantes avec Good Guide in Rio. Notre guide, Ivan, passionné par sa ville nous a fait découvrir à la fois des lieux classiques mais aussi d’autres hors des sentiers battus, avec à chaque fois une grande connaissance de l’histoire et des commentaires très pointus. Sa personnalité chaleureuse et sympathique nous a permis de passer deux excellentes journées. Nous recommandons vivement GGIR pour vos futures visites.

Nous avons réalisé 3 excursions avec good guide et ce fut à chaque fois une excellente expérience. Philippe et Yvan, avec leur personnalité différente nous ont fait partager leurs connaissance et leur passion de Rio. Visiter la ville avec eux, à un rythme adapté à nos besoins, nous a permis d'avoir une vue complète des sites visités et de bénéficier des informations culturelles essentielles, mais également d'anecdotes très sympa.
Un remerciement tout particulier à Philippe qui a réussi à nous obtenir des places pour un match au Maracana et qui a poussé la gentillesse jusqu'à nous y accompagner pour nous faire profiter de cette superbe ambiance.
Agence que je recommande +++

Expérience inoubliable avec Antoine qui nous a fait découvrir Rio pendant 2 jours. Antoine est passionné et passionnant, il raconte les petites histoires de Rio dans la Grande Histoire du Brésil, depuis le temps des conquêtes jusqu’à l’histoire moderne, en passant par les changements de société du XIXe. Toute l’équipe connaît Rio comme sa poche, est incroyablement accommodante et sympathique, et cherche à vous montrer ce que les autres ne voient pas. Une mention spéciale pour la visite de la favela Santa Marta, Vue la veille en surplomb depuis le Christ, nous avons demandé à la visiter. Moment enchanteur pour les enfants et pour nous.Seuls les contacts de Good Guide In Rio peuvent vous organiser une expérience pareille. En un mot : aucun doute que nous serions complètement passé à côté de cette ville extraordinaire si nous n’avions pas été dans les mains d’Antoine et de son équipe. Merci pour tout !
