I visited Brazil for 2 weeks and booked a bunch of stuff for my time there. This tour was incredible! We learned so much about the Christ Statue and the plants in the garden. I absolutely loved the stop at the market after the Christ Statue, the food tasted amazing. The waterfall shower was so refreshing and a great way to end such a great day. I highly recommend this tour

My wife and I booked Patricia for our two day cruise ship visit to Rio. The whole experience was wonderful. She was responsive to my emails and provided an itinerary that suited us and took account of the very busy period we were there. Over the two days we saw and learned much, much more than would have been possible if we had taken a group tour or travelled independently. We saw everything we had wanted to see and more, avoiding most of the crowds, and we weren’t taken to see anything that didn’t interest us. Patricia speaks good English and is lovely company.

Due to COVID-19 all big tour companies were closed. Private tours are still possible, although all tourist sites are closed, only outside views. This company and their guide Adi indeed were of a great help. In 3 hours we managed to see all major São Paulo sites with good explanations and comments. The company and the guide are recommended for long and short tours and general support while you are in São Paulo. Many thanks.

Anderson really made this trip memorable. Thank you Anderson. The statue is dramatic. Must take a camera. The Pao de Acucar has newly been updated for tourism. This venue is worth seeing with Rio Carioca Tour LTD. Ask for Anderson for your guide. He is informative and thoughtful of the guests especially the older ones. Thank you so much.
