A Perfect Day in Rio with Vitor – Absolutely Unforgettable! - We just finished a 9-hour tour of Rio de Janeiro with Vitor, and we can’t stop talking about how incredible the experience was. From the very beginning, Vitor set the tone with his warm personality, deep local knowledge, and genuine passion for the city he clearly loves. He guided us seamlessly through Rio’s top highlights—Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Selarón Steps, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and more—all perfectly timed to beat the crowds and soak in the best views. Vitor’s storytelling brought each stop to life with history, culture, and fun facts that gave us a much deeper appreciation for every place we visited. What really stood out was how personal the experience felt. Vitor made us feel comfortable, answered every question with enthusiasm, and even added spontaneous detours and photo stops to make sure we didn’t miss a thing. He was organized, thoughtful, and clearly experienced—but never rigid or rushed. It truly felt like being shown around by a local friend who just happens to know everything about Rio. Whether it’s your first time in Rio or your fifth, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Vitor. It’s the best way to experience this stunning city in a single, unforgettable day. Thank you, Vitor—you made our trip to Rio something really special. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour of Rio!! - We had an incredible experience thanks to our tour guide Vitor, who truly went above and beyond. He not only made sure we saw all the key sights, but also showed genuine interest in our preferences, patiently listening to what we liked and didn’t. What stood out the most was how flexible and thoughtful he was — he adjusted the itinerary to better match our interests and was always open to making changes on the fly to enhance our experience. His dedication and personal touch made the tour feel tailored and memorable. Highly recommended!

Tour Rio like a local! We had a great experience with our custom tour. Safe, fun and friendly. - We started with a stunning view of the beaches from the Cristo Redentor, then toured iconic points of the city ( perfect for my teenager ig pictures) and ended with a caipirinha at the Leblon beach. We had a great experience before, during and after the tour! Guide knew the art and history of the city, made us feel the wonders of Rio. He was on time, drove safe through the city and spoke Spanish, English and Portuguese. We stopped at the Cathedral to thank what a wonderful experience we had to keep the best memories for our family girls trip!!

Kind, Generous, Knowledgeable, and Unforgettable - Vitor brought us from the airport to our Copacabana hotel. We discussed transport and a tour to distant Buzios. Two days later was the infamous Lady Gaga concert. While trying to simply get through the crowds of 2 million I lost my phone and credit cards to 2 different pick pocketers. Without my phone I was unable to communicate with Vitor. But knowing our hotel and discussions during the night of the airport/hotel ride, he reached out to us. Words cannot describe the helpfulness and kindness we were given for the remainder of our stay. If you're looking for a transport and/or tour service in Rio, then this is the one you want. If you're lucky you'll get Vitor.

The best care I've ever had - I live in the UK and went on vacation with my two babies and my husband from Rio de Janeiro. Since it was my birthday time, I wanted to take my husband to see several cool places in Rio de Janeiro. I spoke with Tiago and he was excellent in his care and also in the appointment of another friend of the company. Every time I go to Brazil, I will always contact them. Because I've never had such good service in other companies before
