This turned out to be a very expensive car ride to one destination with a guide who preferred to spend more time speaking Portuguese (which was incredibly rude given it was obvious we could only converse in English) to the very young photographer who had a very posh camera but appeared to have limited customer experience. We were given an extremely limited amount local knowledge and nothing about Brazil as a whole. It was extremely disappointing.
This was the perfect tour. Our guide Jaqueline and photographer Ingrid were an amazing team, plus we had lots of fun! Would recommend highly!!!!!!
She was very informative. Great pictures and she knew of great locations to take nice pictures. I really enjoyed the photoshoot

Marcos and Roger provided a great tour of the city and high quality photos. Marcos gave me in depth information about each site we visited and provided wonderful hospitality. Roger is a very talented photographer and now I have some excellent photos to remember my Rio trip. They made sure I was able to see everything on my wishlist while making sure I was comfortable.

Hello! Glad your experience was good! The Selarón Staircase is one of our city's postcards and it's definitely worth a visit! Thank you for your review and for choosing Rio Carioca Tours!
This experience was a gem!! I wanted to book a professional photo shoot for my engagement photos and this tour delivered. Our photos came out amazing. The photographer was amazing, found us some good locations, and even edited some videos on the spot! Only issue we had is that the communication was a little off. It was the day before NYE, so it’s understandable that everyone was focused on the festivities, but my fiancée and I just wanted to know where our photos were. Overall, very pleased at how our photos came out. Would recommend!
Hello! Glad you enjoyed the tour and the photos! And we're sorry to hear about the communication glitch. Thanks for the review and for choosing Rio Carioca Tours!
I was very pleased with the professionalism and kindness provided by both Marc and Michelle. Marc the guide helped maximize the shoot by standing in line for us at some of the hot spots and Michelle was very patient with me and my family. I love the pictures of my family and I. Thank you
I scheduled a private tour during my trip to Rio and was extremely pleased with my service. Renata, our photographer, was a Rio native, she spoke excellent English and was very warm and excited about showing off her country. She was not only knowledgeable about tourist sites, but she provided rich history lessons about the country overall. I would highly recommend Renata if you are planning to visit Rio de Jenario!

I was looking forward to getting some great photos and seeing some cool places and views, but this tour with Renata was so much more. Aside from enjoying both those things I learned so much and had great conversation as well. One of my favorite things I've done on vacation. You won't regret it!

Renata was an amazing host and photographer! She showed me some unique places and lookout views in the South zone that I would not have known about otherwise. She caught alllll of my angles 📸 and we had a wonderful 4 hours together! I highly recommend this tour and photography session for anyone wanting a photo shoot as a unique souvenir like I did.
