Great guide. - Great guide, it is the first time that I use the tourist services of Glayber, the group and I were extremely satisfied. The best tours are usually personal and in small groups, and that's exactly what he offers, he was a great guide! Very flexible, knowledgeable and above all, very attentive!
It filled us with a lot of information and advice of what we could do in Rio de Janeiro. His English and understanding of American culture is excellent !!! ... I highly recommend him !. He is the best!.

The BEST Guide EVER!! - Her name is Aline Scot Plavnik. She was very well spoken and incredibly knowledgeable. It was a private tour for us and we had many highlights already booked. Aline adapted to our needs easily and quickly while telling about things to see that we didn't know we should see, like the stairs and Santa Theresa.

Amazing tour of Rio - This was my first time visiting Rio with friends and Glaybers tour service was awesome. We booked a 8 hour tour and it was filled with amazing views of the city. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Brazil and historical landmarks. My friends and I were very satisfied with our tour guide & the tour. I would definitely recommend using Glaybers tour service if you're planning on visiting Rio!

Awesome 8hr tour of Rio - This is my second time using Glaybers tour services and my friends and I were extremely satisfied. The best tours are usually small in size and personal and that’s exactly what Glayber offers. Customized personal tours that offer flexibility and allow you to skip lines.

Five Star Tour Guide!! - Glayber is one of the best tour guides that I’ve ever had. Glayber’s laid back personality made my trip an easy and enjoyable experience. From the moment I arrived at the airport and Glayber greeted me, I could tell he was a genuine, caring guy. He was concerned about my well being and stressed the issue of safety. You can tell that he is passionate about his work. On our tour, we visited the Christ the Redeemer statue, took paddle boarding lessons in the Barra de Guaratiba, visited the Museum of Tomorrow, checked out the art work in Centro Rio, ate lunch at Cafeteria Colombo that had some of the best desserts, experienced Brazilian nightlife at Rio Scenarium, took a biking tour around the lagoon. He also recommended some great seafood and Brazilian steakhouses. He was extremely knowledgeable about Rio. Once it was time for me to check out of the hotel, Glayber gave me a ride to the airport and personally walked me to the security gate while carrying my luggage. I look forward to visiting Rio again! Thank you Glayber for your five star service!

Amazing - I would highly recommend glaybe and his company, I booked a trip for my parents as part of their cruise to help see rio and enjoy the carnival. Glaybe was brilliant with communicating and arrange trip around their needs. This continued when my parents were there. They had an amazing time and Glaybe and his driver made this happen.
Thank you so much very reliable and flexiable.

Lavinia made our Rio visit a wonderful experience - Our family visited Rio for four days in December and we used Glayber's service for the entire stay. The airport pick-up/drop-off and tours were perfect for our group which included four elders and one teenager. Our tour guide Lavinia was great. She speaks fluent English and knows so much about Rio! The spots she picked for us were great and she tried her best to accommodate our needs. I couldn't wait to visit Rio again and will certainly use Glayber's service again!

The Best of the best - You can not go past Glayber. He is a true professional who goes beyond the call of his touring profession. Shows as much as he can in the time delegated. The tour of Rio was incredible. We have recommended him to friends who have not been let down. And you will not be either. It is hard to find someone as good as Glayber and worth every bit of his fee. We have explore a lot of other cities and find it is the best way to go but you can not get a more polite, prompt, informative, kind, thoughtful gentleman. Its a treat to be with someone who cares so much.

Saw the best of Rio thanks to Glayber - I was lucky enough to spend the day with Glayber and my family. Glayber showed us all of the best of Rio, from the hidden gems, to most popular attractions. Seeing those places the magazines and shows don't tell you about, only a true local can show was a true treat. We made the most out of our day together. If you want friendly outstanding service, and an incredible experience to brag about and never forget, please see Glayber.

Perfect Rio, Christ of the Andes, Copa Cabana, Carnival - We left Celebrity Cruise to meet with Glayber Silva for a tour of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. Glayber greeted us at the cruise terminal with a new, air conditioned van. He was intelligent (also an attorney), articulate, charming and spoke fluent English. As a native Brazilian who lived in the U.S., he was a perfect go between between us and venders everywhere. He knew the city, the best places, and how to keep us both safe and informed of every question, concern or enquiry we could muster.
He took us to Christ of the Andes (The Redeemer), helped us quickly through the lines and up the cog railway, and pointed out all the sites overviewing Rio.
We had local snacks at an air conditioned restaurant off of Ipanema Beach, visited and swam in Copa Cabana beach, and returned to the ship in preparation for Carnival in the evening.
Glayber is the man for us! I highly recommend he and his tour service should you visit Rio. For security, peace of mind, communication, comfort, and a great tour, go with Glayber. More on Carnival later...
