2 fantastic days in Rio
Raf_69_12, 07-02-2020
We hired Luis whilst in Rio for 2 days and we are so glad we did.
DAY 1 - consisted of visiting Christ.Selaron, Farmers market, Saint Teresa and the botanical gardens. Luis got us up early to see the Christ, which avoided the crowds. Luis helped us buy the tickets and got us on the train in no time. He left us to enjoy it and let him know when we were ready to go. We then visited the farmers market and we sampled the tastiest fruit ever! The botanical gardens were a treat as we saw two types of monkeys which Luis lured out of the trees with his whistle. Louis knew where the monkeys were as he knew their sound. We visited Saint Teresa, which we truly enjoyed and the Selaron steps were amazing. Luis explained everything about the locations of our visits and was truly knowledgable about Rio and it’s history.
DAY 2 - consisted of a drive to the south of Rio and along the coastline as we wanted to see other areas of Rio, beaches in particular. We relaxed at a small beach for a couple of hours while Luis waited for us to finish. It was great to see Rios beautiful coastline and it’s gorgeous beaches. Luis stopped us at various lookouts along the way.
We felt safe and at ease with Luis. This 2 day tour took away the headache of planning transport to see these places on our own. We wouldn’t have learnt as much about Rio if we saw these places on our own.
Thanks again Luis
Very interesting tour with Luis

Luis was a great tour guide who picked us up at our ship and showed us more of Rio than our friends who had tours from the cruise we were on. He was friendly, shared Rio’s history and culture with us plus several of his favorite spots which became our favorites too. Luis is an excellent guide we’d recommend to anyone!
