Best experience! I recommend a thousand times! - I recently made the city tour of Rio de Janeiro with the Brazil Expedition and simply loved every second of the experience! From the beginning, everything was done with great comfort and safety — we were picked up and left at the hotel, which made our day a lot easier. The team was super punctual and organized. Guides João Henrique and Marcelo were amazing: attentive, caring and super fun, leaving the walk light and full of good laughs. Our guide was trilingual, bringing valuable information and curiosities about each point visited. I also loved the fact that the van brought together tourists from different parts of the world — it was a great opportunity to practice my English and Spanish and exchange experiences with people from different cultures. The script was very well planned: we arrived early at Christ the Redeemer, which allowed us to enjoy without queues (which, on our own, we would hardly have achieved). And we still got help from João Henrique to take amazing photos! We visit iconic places like the Selarón Stairs, the Lage Park, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Municipal Theatre (outside) and more. All with safety, comfort and a wonderful vibe. If you want to experience Rio in a peaceful, safe and enriching way, I highly recommend Brazil Expedition. A complete and unforgettable experience!
