WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY?
Luba Galperin We had wonderful 3 days of touring with your guides. Everything was very well organized and ran very smoothly. Leo, Paulo, and Gilvan were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had very good days exploring. Their love for the city and neighborhoods was infectious. Thank you for organizing. Also , we used your blogs for information and the recommendations for restaurants, rainy days (yesterday) were very helpful. Definitely would recommend your agency. Hol CM We had the most amazing time with Riccardo and team! We went to see the cup final at the Maracana stadium which was an incredible experience. The process was seamless with great communication throughout so we knew exactly what to expect. Riccardo was an amazing guide - he picked us up on time, helped navigate the entry and exit to the stadium, and provided a lot of fun and energy throughout. Would 11/10 recommend using this company - thank you Riccardo and team!!! Colleen Green I had the pleasure of spending time with Monique while visiting Brazil [Rio and Ilha Grande] and I couldn't have been happier. The experiences were incredible across the board from the boat days in Ilha Grande to the blocco and food tour in Rio. She is such a sweet, professional, friendly woman and really welcomed us to her city with open arms. I look forward to visiting Rio and traveling with Monique again. Kimberly Guzman Had an amazing time exploring with Monique. She is so knowledgeable and so friendly. She took us around beautiful places in Rio and Ilha Grande. We did everything from beach trips to street parties to a food tour and more. She really made the trip incredible. Highly recommend R B Icee P I found RJ by Cariocas Travel while researching for a trip to Rio on Google. I liked the idea of private tours, and that the prices were reasonable. I reached out to them through WhatsApp and they were responsive and helpful with questions. We did a custom 8-hour tour, which involved a 5 am pick up at the hotel to see the sunrise at Dona Marta viewpoint, first trip up to Christ the Redeemer, Selaron steps, Parque de Ruinas and then Sunday feijoada at one of the best places to get it in Rio (Santa Teresa neighborhood). The tour included our own car (airconditioned, yes!) and a multilingual (he speaks Spanish, French, German in addition to Portuguese and English!) licensed guide. Paulo was a professional and shared lots of knowledge and history, from geography to cultural history to pop culture. It was a great day and glad to have seen the sights with him. We paid about $130 and it was my husband and I on this tour. Highly recommend!!! Joffrey Rozzonelli Excellente expérience d'escalade du Pain de Sucre, enfin d'une montagne juste en face pour correspondre au niveau de débutant. Rodrigo et Tomas sont super gentils et donnent les meilleurs conseils, les échanges étaient agréables. L'escalade quant à elle vaut vraiment la peine, même pour les débutants il y a moyen de se dépasser en toute sécurité, un défi personnel gratifiant! Muito obrigado Rodrigo, muchas gracias Tomas! Rusti Quarles Our guide, Monique, was excellent. We traveled from the States and her English was impeccable. Very easy to understand and converse. She lives in the area, so knows all the great spots for locals. We loved getting to know those spots too. Local food and drink pairings at each location. We even got to stop at a “bonus location”, because one in our group wanted to try more local beer, so we stopped at a brew pub. Monique was very flexible as to what we were interested in, even though she had an itinerary already planned. I would highly recommend this tour. Jason D-W I recently used Cariocas Travel for a half day and a full day tour of the city with a good friend. I simply could not rate the experience highly enough. Please don’t hesitate to use this company. Renata looked after our bookings for the private tours and we had Nathalia and Alberto as our guides. The quality of the tours were very high throughout. Will certainly use them on my next visit. Daniele Iacobelli We booked the Pão de Açúcar climb with Rodrigo, and had an amazing adventure. He Is a very prepared and trustworthy climbing guide, and we felt always safe! He is also a very nice person and we loved getting to know him and learn from him about Carioca Life.
