Tijuca forest tour

Published on Feb, 2025

The tour was absolutely beautiful. Alvaro was very good at explaining the history and the details of everything we saw and everywhere we went! He also took lots of pictures for us, they were beautiful pictures too. I highly recommend doing a tour with him especially if it’s your first time in Rio or even if not I bet you he will make you view Rio in a completely different way. He’s so awesome, I would do the tour all over again!

Be there

Published on Jan, 2025

The distinguishing characteristic of this experience is that the tour guide is delightfully effective in helping the traveler to actually feel as if you’re part of the environment.

Excelent Tour

Published on Mar, 2020

Alvaro was super friendly and went out his way to make the best experience for us. Besides being an awesome guide who will tell you the history behind everything, he also takes amazing professional pictures and doesn’t charge you any extra penny for it. I can’t wait to go back to Rio when the weather is nicer and go on other tours with him!! Muuuito obrigada Alvaro :)
