Reviews

Friendly local guide for us as a family with our first time in Rio

TuanN957, 03-01-2023

Monique was recommended to us by a friend, and she did not disappoint our family of 4. We took the walking tour and brought us to great locations that only a local (Cariocas) would know. We did some research ahead of time about Rio (as it was our first time in Brazil) to learn about the standard ‘touristy’ things but Monique also provided other good recommendations for the rest of our vacation. We’ve gone on other tours before with agendas that are very strict with timing. Monique was very friendly, paced the tour to our needs (without rushing us), and became more of a friend than a typical tour guide. We would highly recommend Monique to any other first timers to Rio!

Amazing tour of Lapa & Santa Teresa

My wife and I did the Lapa & Santa Teresa walking tour with Monique which we absolutely loved. The tour was very informative and it’s great to experience Rio with a local who can offer real insight into the area, the city and anything else Brazilian!

Une après midi exceptionnelle

Rio de Janeiro by Cariocas

MicFarinha, 22-07-2022

Fizemos o bairro de Santa Teresa e Lapa, com guia exclusivo, pela "Rio de Janeiro by Cariocas", percorrendo as suas ruas belíssimas e únicas. A nossa Guia foi maravilhosa, proporcionando-nos uma experiência inesquecível, a todos os níveis. Além de conhecer o bairro e pontos que jamais iríamos sem eles, parámos para almoçar num restaurante típico, com comida deveras saborosa.
Super que recomendamos esta empresa, pois proporciona uma experiência personalizada, bem carioca e sem as correrias habituais que as agências de turismo tanto implicam.
