South Carolina Comes to Town

Published on Feb, 2025

Daniel was an excellent tour guide. The airline lost our luggage. Daniel was able to change plans on the fly so we could get to the airport and pick up our luggage. He was wonderful. We highly recommend him.

Daniel is a great guide. Highly recommend.

Published on Feb, 2025

Daniel was a great guide for my wife and I . He communicated with us prior to our visit on what we wanted to see and he delivered. He picked us up at the appointed time and had all his parking places planned. He also organised a tour of a Favela which we requested with a local Favela guide which was fascinating. He is very knowledgable and calm and he speaks excellent English as well. We only wanted a quick lunch at a cafe and he organised that so we're on our way without delay. He was a pleasure to be with for the day as we learnt heaps about life in Rio. Thankyou Daniel.

great guy; pefect English; very focused on the client

Published on Feb, 2025

we toured with Daniel last Friday. He was excellent. Offers airport pickup. The full day tour can be structured however you want, but we opted to let him decide. We went up Christ the Redeemer and up Sugarloaf, and he had figured out strategies to avoid crowds and lines. He then took us downtown, to the Cathederal and some other sites, as well as a very local lunch. I never felt rushed or unsafe. Daniel's English is nearly perfect, and he is a very engaging. Highly recommend him

Private Day tour

Luis was very informative he showed us everything we asked him and explained any questions we asked, he have lots of knowledge of Brasil history we highly recommend him .

The Perfect Guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

From my very first email communication with Danny, I was impressed. I knew exactly what I wanted to see/do and he helped me plan our day. On the day of our tour, our ship was late disembarking, but Danny waited patiently for us and was the first face we saw as we exited the terminal. He’s the perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness and patience. He took into consideration that we’re an older couple and helped us navigate his city without wearing us out. I cannot praise him enough and wish every guide were as wonderful as he is. We learned so much from him. We saw a great deal of Rio and appreciated it all the more because of him. We had a wonderful, memorable day. Thank you, Danny!
