Incredible tour experience - 100% worth it - I went on a solo trip to Rio de Janeiro earlier this month (January) and originally only booked Caio for a hike to Telegraph Rock. I thought it was going to be a regular tour, but Caio exceeded expectations in all areas - so much so that I cancelled the tours I had scheduled with other companies and booked this best of rio private tour with him as my guide instead. Caio was a tour guide, historian, comedian, and professional photographer all in one. He always had a fun fact, a joke, a story, a recommendation, or a suggested photo location/background to share. At each location, Caio navigated and managed the crowds like a pro and always got the best shot using his professional camera equipment. Lastly and most importantly, he was communicative and flexible to work with. He was always available to answer my questions and customized the tour based on my interests. I explored, learned, laughed, and came back home with amazing photos to remember my time and share my experience with family and friends. I highly recommend this tour!!

Upgrade your Rio trip by booking Caio - Caio really helped make our time in Rio memorable. He’s an excellent guide and speaks very good English. We used him and his driver twice during our trip. If you want to see the big sites in Rio (Christ, Sugarloaf) without standing in line for hours - Caio is your guy. He is an excellent photographer and was great with my 7 and 10 yo kids. On our last day, he created a custom tour for us to go crystal shopping at a legit store (not geared towards tourists) and drove us all over town trying to find capivaras for the kids. We had a blast. He even walked us into the airport and helped with the bags. I would absolutely recommend Caio to anyone who wants to upgrade their experience in Rio. Thanks Caio!

An Epic Tour Experience of Rio! - The itinerary was well put together to optimize an efficient and fulfilling time, filled with exciting and unique events, breathtaking views, great food, inspiring education on the history, and incredible photos! This is to say the least. Then entire series of tours and guidance is by far one of the most professionally and customer-centered experiences I have had throughout my travels. Caio goes above and beyond in everyway possible!! I look forward to returning and spending time with this tour guide again!!

A fantastic day in Rio - We did a whole-day tour of Rio, taking in the Christ Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf mountain, and some favelas. Caio tailored the tour to our interests and offered a fantastic, personalised service. We were able to skip many of the queues at major attractions and he knew all the best photo spots. He is a lovely guy and very knowledgeable. We really had a wonderful, personal experience that I do not imagine you would get on more general tours. I highly recommend this tour.
