Recommend - The best transfer/taxi service ever! Before our trip to Rio (Nov 2020), we researched many transportation companies but many of them seem unreliable. When we found Rio Taxi Transfer the reviews seem too good to be true but they provided us a service of excellence! Could not have asked for more polite and knowledgeable drivers, more comfortable cars, or an easier booking process. They provided a transfer service to/from Rio - Buzios & airport. We will use them again. Thank you Agostinho and Marcelo :)

We had an outstanding private tour with Flavio that allowed to discover the wonderful city of Petropolis. Everyone stays and concentrates in Rio but this a great trip into the mountains outside the city and well worth your time. This is the imperial city and Emporer Pedro 2 and Theresa ruled from here ! On the scenic drive (1 hr) up the mountains Flavio explained the rich history of Brazil and the imperial family. It is a very nice drive with many picturesque overlooks. After visiting the former casino (huge bavarian style building) Flavio led us personally through the imperial museum and explained all the important exhibits. So much better than just reading place cards. We then saw the main cathedral de alcantara where the royal family is buried which is excellent gothic architecture and walked through the area seeing the different historic homes and parks. Petropolis is a city made for strolling. A complete surprise and to me one of the best reasons to see Petropolis was to visit the Santos Dumont home and learn about his life- he was actually the father of aviation (not the Wright Brothers!) and its a fascinating tour through his home. We had a buffet lunch at a very nice restaurant and saw the crystal palace - Flavio was passionate about sharing his knowledge and life experiences in Brazil with us - this made the tour so much more enjoyable and the fact that it was a private tour made it more personable. We give Flavio and the tour of Petropolis an enthusiastic recommendation. Its a special place and you will be really pleased you took the time to visit ...with Flavio !
