- We had a really good day in Rio with Renata as our photo guide. She was on time, friendly, and answered our questions throughout the day. As a photographer, she has a great eye and managed to make even the busiest landmarks feel more personal in the photos. The pictures came out great and feel like a real reflection of the day. We’re glad we booked with her and would recommend her to others visiting the city.

Picture Perfect Tour in Rio - Renata was a wonderful tour guide and photographer. She was easy to reach out to and she picked us up on time from our hotel. She greeted us with a warm smile and chatted with us along the way. You can feel how passionate she is with her job and she loves what she is doing. With her being behind the camera it was easy for us as we had already established great rapport with her. She showed us all the spots where to take photos and what poses to do. Seeing the Christ the Redeemer, Don Marta Viewpoint, Sugarloaf Mountain and Escadaria Selarón in real life were amazing but having this experience with her made it more special. The photos she took were gorgeous especially since it seemed like we were the only people in the places even though it was crowded. She helped and guided us all through the day and explained all the important details of the sites. If you want a rest day from taking photos and just enjoy the view then definitely book Renata as she is simply the best!

Christ the redeemer - Renata was amazing . She embodies the culture of Brazi with her warmth . She is very professional and skillful at taking photos despite the circumstance. She will capture your moment . She knows her equipment very well so there’s not flaws in her game so you can be comfortable flowing in your artistic state while you let her worry about the photo taking ! She’s amazing !

The Ultimate Rio Day Tour – Iconic Sights, Secret Stops, and Stunning Photos - Our guide was amazing. She knew all the best spots, queues, and photo angles at Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selarón Steps, and more. Multi-Lingual and Efficient. To top things off we had a surprise poolside breakfast and even a quick cachaça tasting stop, which made the day feel extra special.
Bring a change of clothes and just show up ready to have fun, because everything else is taken care of. Highly recommend!

Amazing day inRio - We had an amazing time with Renata! She is an expert guide full of information and easy to talk to. She took amazing family pics for us that would have been impossible for us to get on her own. She was so flexible and kind. One of our kids felt ill during the tour and we were able to cut the tour short and reschedule the remaining attractions for another day. I can’t thank her enough for that flexibility, it saved our trip. I highly recommend any of Renata’s tours!

Fab day with Renata! - Had an amazing time with Renata who helped us navigate tricky situation with Christ the Redeemer tram being under maintenance, without her expert guidance we would be stuck in long queue like other tourists. Renata also gave us historical information on Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Selaron Steps. Despite it being a very hot day Renata really showcased her professionalism by working hard to make sure we had a great time, would highly recommend doing this esp if you’re a solo traveller :)

The best! - Renata was AMAZING! You’d be doing yourself a huge disservice if you don’t book this tour while in Rio. She’s very knowledgeable. I traveled to Rio solo, and she helped make my 30th birthday trip one to remember. Thank you Renata!
