What To Expect

Prior to the 19th century, Rio de Janeiro was surrounded by Atlantic rain forest. Today, all that remains is the 13-square-mile (33-square-kilometer) jungle known as Tijuca National Park. Studded with tropical trees knotted together by jungle vines, the world’s largest urban forest is home to ocelots, howler monkeys, more than 300 bird species, waterfalls, and one of Rio’s iconic landmarks, the Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) statue standing atop Corcovado Mountain.

4 days exploring Rio de Janeiro
Achatlein, 03-01-2023
Before and during our 4 days tour of Rio de Janeiro, the communication with Gisela has been excellent! She is a pleasure to be with. Has a vast knowledge of the city and shares her knowledge in such a natural way that we actually remembered it all.
We felt very safe with her and her excellent drivers during our 4 days together. Needless to say we enjoyed exploring Rio de Janeiro with Gisela!
Terrific introduction to Rio, great guide!

Sergio met us at our hotel and took us from Copacabana Beach into downtown Rio and back. Really got the feel of the city riding the metro, walking the city streets and learning about the history, architecture, people, food, and culture. Sergio tailored our walk based on our interests and willingness to see even more than we expected. He was a relaxed, personable, and informative guide. Highly recommend!
Enjoyed every minute !

Gisela arranged a private tour for us of Rio. Our guide Lais was outstanding. She was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. She was very flexible and allowed us to alter the itinerary as the day progressed due to weather issues. We were able to customize the tour to include some of the standard Rio sites (i.e. Sugarloaf and downtown) with some of the Jewish sites. Highly recommended.
Money well spent!

Gisela was a wonderful tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She gave us space to explore all of the wonderful places we went to but still provided us with plenty of fun facts and important information. Would highly recommend booking a tour with her.
