11/10 recommend!! - Higor was hands down the best tour guide we have ever had in any country! We had the most incredible day and he was so knowledgeable and personable. We saw things we would have never seen on our own and he seriously deserves all the credit!

Unforgettable day in Rio with Higor - I was contacted the night before to confirm pick up. Our guide Higor and driver Johnny were friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. They tailored the excursion to what I had in mind for the day and sprinkled suggestions that we appreciated. We did the Redeemer, SugarLoaf, Santa Theresa, Escadaria Selaron, Murala from Olympics by Kobra, and the Arcos da Lapa. We would be dropped off and picked up with ease. Higor made lunch reservations and even suggestions for dinner later at night that were fantastic. Highly recommend Team Higor-Johnny for an unforgettable experience.

Wonderful tour of Rio - Higo was an amazing tour guide. Very knowledgeable about Rio. Made sure he fulfilled all our requests. Pick up and drop off at our hotel was seamless. We stopped at a lovely place for a snack of cheese buns and an Acai smoothie, both delicious! We pre-purchased our tickets for both Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer, so we were able to head to the front of the lines Higo made the tour of this vibrant city special.

Best way to see Rio in a day - Nathaly was an amazing guide! She arrived on time to meet us at the hotel. The car was brand new and had excellent air conditioning on a very warm day. The driver Homelo was very courteous and made us feel safe (he was the safest driver on the road to be honest…the motorcyclists were a little scary!) She took us to Christ the Redeemer first thing, before it got too hot. We were able to use the priority line at Sugarloaf, where they provided free, cold, refreshing water and a private toilet. Nathaly knew all the secret shortcuts and the best places for photos. We mentioned that we were taking a different tour the next day, and she reviewed the itinerary so we wouldn’t have duplications. She took us to a beautiful cathedral that we wouldn’t have otherwise known about. She gave us some great recommendations for lunch and helped us order, explaining about the different dishes and traditions. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
