Best Tailored Private VIP Tour of Rio de Janeiro

Rio and Fabio’s secrets did not disappoint! Had an amazing full day tour and I have to consider it VIP because it was me and Fabio, my guide. Rainy day but that didn’t stop us at all. And the best thing about the rain- Escadaria Selarón was empty!! Practically all sights outside were empty… Luckily I had already decided to not visit Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer as it wouldn’t have been possible with the weather. And, instead of perhaps just two sights I got to see soooo much!!!The Cathedral, quick trip to Urca (Ainda Estou Aqui house…), drove over the bridge to Niterói to experience the Oscar Niemeyer architecture and got to meet a famous former Botafogo goalkeeper as well! Back in Rio we visited Mosteiro São Bento - an amazingly beautiful church that I would never have visited without Fabio. Little Africa, Pedra do Sal and Valongo Wharf with all the history. It was even time for me to visit the beautiful Real Gabinete Português de Leitura on this tour before Fábio dropoed me off at the Carioca Santa Teresa Tram station so I could take the tram back to Santa Teresa where I was staying. Fabio was a fantastic guide and from what I had told him i kind of wanted to see- i got that and more!!! Muito obrigada!

What a great day with Fabio! We visited Christ the Redeemer first thing in the morning missing all the crowds and then went to visit another part of Tijuca where we saw monkeys and visited a cave. After a lovely lunch, we finished the day at Sugarloaf enjoying the amazing views.

Fabio was fabulous! Very knowledgeable, guided easily through major attractions! Was so impressed with our five hour tour!

Amazing tour of Santa Theresa -great car for 4, great facts and nice person-great English. Highly recommend and will answer any and all questions. Great driver and he picked us and dropped us at our Airbnb. We were 2 adults and 2teens.

We enjoyed the tour very much, Fabio guided us great and we guided ourselves very well. He was flexible and Haitian adapted to our wishes. It worked perfectly everywhere. Conclusion: always again, highly recommended! Thanks Fabio!

I was a Solo traveler and was a bit apprehensive about booking a tour and a big crowd. I booked a private tour with this company and it was fantastic. The tour guide was Alan who made everything even better. He came by my Airbnb and picked me up in a very nice car and made sure that I had plenty of air conditioning the entire time. Alan speaks multiple languages and is very fluent in English and Spanish. I believe he also speaks other languages as well besides Portuguese his native tongue. Since this was a private tour Allen arranged the schedule to suit my needs, pending a little more time here and taking a few pictures and a little less time there. Alan made everything great, I even had my first Brazilian Caipirnha drink on the beach. Has a Solo traveler Alan also made sure to get many pictures of me at The monuments as keepsakes. My tour was on a Friday and it was so fantastic that Alan even worked me in his schedule for another tour on Monday as a foodie tour . I would highly recommend these tours whether you're a solo traveler, a family or just a close group of friends. You won't regret it!

Yes, yes, and Yes! Take Fabio's advice and get the Sugar Loaf fast pass and Corovado Christ the Redeemer fast pass ( especially if you don't start your tour early in the morning). Way better to get up early and go with him at 630-7ish to get the best experience. Everyone else will be wondering if you are a celebrity because Fabio is able to go around all the lines of people waiting to see the same thing, but super crowded!

Fabio was a great guide that tailored our tour around our needs. He tipped us off on the fast pass option for both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf which helped to expedite our experience. We’ve done a lot of tours around the world and it’s sometimes challenging to find a tour guide that has deep understanding of history and facts related to that location. Would recommend this tour.

. My husband and I had our first tour with Fabio in 2019 two wonderful days sightseeing in Rio de Janeiro .it was excellent. And this years decided to have Fabio again as our tour guide. Again another excellent time with Fabio. Fabio is an excellent tour guide very friendly, respectful and professional. We highly recommend him!!

Fabio and his driver were excellent. Lots of energy and positive vibes. Rio is beautiful. Not sure how we could have seen so much without your help. Thank you Fabio.
