The Best of Nature in Rio - This was a new experience for me in Rio and I highly recommend it. Our guide, Alexia, explained so many things about the history and details of these places. It felt like a custom experience. Highly recommend.

Excellent for nature lovers! - Really great tour for nature lovers! You will learn a lot about flowers, plants and trees. Amazing views. We had a great guide named Tais who was very friendly, social, open and enthusiastic about nature and Brazilian culture. Unfortunately on the day of our tour it was rainy and windy and we were travelling in an open jeep. Maybe could have been another vehicle, as the weather was poor.

Tijuca National Park and Botanical Garden Jeep Tour - We had a wonderful experience with Rafael and our jeep driver during the tour of the Botanical Garden and Tijuca National Park. Rafael was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire trip engaging with interesting facts and stories about the places we visited. The jeep ride was smooth and fun, and the driver made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and we appreciated the time and care they took to make sure we enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Rio!

Fabulous day out to Fiji a forest and botanical garden - What a wonderful tour. João was amazing. It was just the two of us and our guide. He stopped at some beautiful spots along the way where we had stunning views over Rio. All of our questions were answered and it was a very easy smooth day. I was a little worried about the walking up and down as I have bad knees, but it was no issue at all as we drove with frequent stops so we didn’t miss anything. There was lots of wildlife and beautiful trees and plants too. It was a great day and I’d highly recommend it.
