Flávio is a *terrific* guide. He's a real carioca (a person from Rio), and he knows the city like the back of his hand. He's prompt, helpful, knowledgeable, and hard-working. Flávio has a comfortable car, and he's a very good driver. He's reliable and knows all the best hidden parts of Rio that few visitors will ever see.
He offers interesting tours outside the city as well. We took a tour of his favorite beaches (Flávio is a surfer), and another tour to Petropolis, a city in the mountains about an hour north of Rio, which is fascinating and beautiful. We went on three tours in total, and each tour was flawless - and fun!
Flávio is a great guy, He's friendly, he speaks English well, and he clearly enjoys his work. His rates are very reasonable as well.
If you want to take a private, safe, unhurried, and thorough tour of Rio de Janeiro and its environs, get in touch with Flávio. You won't be disappointed, that's for sure.
