Luiz the Great Guide

Rannon_H, 07-12-2022

Luiz was very knowledgeable of the country, the landmarks, and the culture. He gave us great restaurants to try and described all of the things we saw in detail. He’s an amazing story teller and tour guide. He was able to answer questions , tell us about anything we asked and took us to the best chicken spot in Rio!

If you were going to go to Rio again, I would get Luis For the whole day.

cmbrown88, 06-02-2020

Luis was not available for the date we requested, so he arranged for Julio to meet us at our hotel and take us on the tour. When booking this tour, we told Luis the type of activities we enjoy, so Julio had a tentative itinerary laid out when he arrived at the hotel. However, we made some changes based on other activities we wanted to do, so it was a good combination of their suggestions and our interests. Julio was a great guide, very personable and obviously knowledgeable of the city. Since our plane didn't leave Rio until late at night, I'm glad we took this opportunity to see more of Rio before we left.

Short trip to Rio

Jome77, 20-08-2018

I had a last minute trip to Rio and didn't think I had enough time to see the sights.
However, I found I had a few hours free before flying back home and booked a private tour with Luis.
He was fab! Tailored the tour to my interests and showed me some amazing sights.
Very friendly, highly knowledgeable and has a passion for showing visitors the wonderful sights of Rio. Highly recommended.
Thanks again Luis.
