Review of a private Rio tour with Bruno, covering Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selarón Steps, historic churches, and more.
“Bruno is an exceptional guide. We saw the key sites and then some, very efficiently. Besides being extremely knowledgeable about Rio and its history, he’s a delightful person. He was born in Rio, moved to the US as a child, and returned to Rio to open a tour business a few years ago. He’s a great blend of Brazilian and US culture. So, if you’re looking for a great guide in Rio, try to book with Bruno. A+++++++++++”

Hij nam de moeite om te wachten of de mist weg zou trekken, en dat gebeurde! We hebben gave foto's kunnen maken die zeker bijblijven. Dudu dank voor de ervaring en informatie!”

See Rio samba schools rehearse with hotel transfers, local guides, music, dancing, and Carnival spirit, plus honest advice on crowds and timing.
“El guía fue un desastre. No tenía las entradas , nos hizo esperar 45 minutos en la fila. Compró las entradas más baratas. El show no se disfrutó adecuadamente porque había muchísima gente por el sitio en el que nos metieron. Para comprar bebidas había que esperar mucho tiempo. Algunos de los que fuimos se aburrieron y se fueron antes. Considerando que había niños en el grupo, no advierten que no es un show en el que los niños van a estar muy incómodos por el ruido y por la congestión de personas. La experiencia no vale la pena.”
