Had an amazing trip to Brasil all thanks to these guys! We were a large group that booked various tours throughout the city and every experience was as described on the website.

Booking was very easy and communication was perfect. Any questions that I had were answered right away and they were very flexible to make accommodations to match our requests. We were able to all travel together in a comfortable van and prices for the tours were reasonable.

Highly recommend:
- Christ the Reedemer + Sugarloaf Tour - great way to see the major sites with a tour guide to take you through easily
- Sailboat tour through Guanabara Bay - beautiful and super fun way to see the city
- Samba Night Tour - super cool local experience, highlight of the trip for sure, do not miss this
- Fruit Tasting Tour - loved tried all the tasty interesting local fruits
- Botanical Garden Tour and Large Park - beautiful gardens

Monique and Paulo were our tour guides and they were amazing, warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and not to mention patient.

You can tell Monique and her team really care about offering their clients a memorable experience and go above and beyond to make that happen.

There are many companies offering tours around Rio, but this is the company you wont have any regrets booking with. You dont know me, but trust me :)

Traveled to Rio for the first time for a wedding and to celebrate my 30th birthday. From the moment we gathered our bags at the airport, RDJ by Cariocas services made things so convenient with a driver ready to take us to Copacabana and begin our week with them. Meeting our group for dinner the first night was the highlight of the trip as a direct result of Monique’s warm welcome. The rest of the week was an incredible introduction to Brazil, more specifically Rio. Every excursion planned in detail with transportation, food, and water. I can’t emphasize enough how much Monique and the rest of the team made us feel safe at home. Thank you so much Rio by Cariocas!!!

I recently had the great pleasure of experiencing the services provided by Rio de Janeiro by Cariocas Travel, which made my trip to Rio unforgettable.

What truly made this tour stand out was the personalized touch. Each activity was tailored specifically to our interests, ensuring a truly immersive experience in the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro.

Whether exploring the iconic landmarks, indulging in the local cuisine, or immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage, every moment felt like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I cannot speak highly enough of Monique. She was an absolute gem, embodying the spirit of the city. Her passion for the city was infectious, and it was evident that she genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. Monique went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible time, and her dedication made a difference. I am happy to call her the Carioca homie.

I wholeheartedly recommend this tour guide service to anyone planning a trip to Brazil. The exceptional level of service, the attention to detail, and the expertise of the guides make it an absolute must for anyone seeking an unforgettable experience in Rio de Janeiro.

Fantastic experience.  Traveling to Rio and did a tour to Christ the Redeemer, Santa Teresa and the Selaron Steps with Monique.  Definitely made the experience all the more memorable.  Besides getting picking me up and getting me around the crazy city that is RIo, Monique was fount of knowledge and great deal of fun to be with as well.  She loves what she does and it shows.  Will be booking additional tours with Monique during the remainder of my stay.  Cannot recommend enough.  Thank you Monique !
