Awesome tour with Alexia in Rio - We had an amazing tour with Alexia in Rio! She was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the city’s history and culture. She made the experience even better by managing to squeeze in a few extra stops, making the most of our time. Everything was well-paced and informative. Highly recommend touring with her!

Incredible tour of the center of Rio - Excellent! Very friendly, professional and very dedicated to your work. The tour was very interesting and Alexia gave us information in a very entertaining and detailed way. In addition, he took care of every detail, want to coordinate the driver, tickets that we require and even take photos and make a beautiful mini video of the tour. If you have the opportunity to tour Rio de Janeiro with Alexia you will not regret it.

They cancelled at the last minute. - Cancelled late in the evening via WhatsApp due to not having enough people. Too late for me to rebook another experience with anyone else as I was leaving that night. They should have communicated this earlier. Had to get Viator involved to get a refund from them.
