Luis gave us two memorable days of guided tours in Rio. He knows the city like the back of his hand, is very knowledgeable about history and flora. Luis is very friendly and will chat freely, and is a really nice guy and great driver. His English is perfect with clear enunciation. You can't go wrong with himm

I'm so glad I hired Luis as a private tour guide for my trip to Rio! It made for a great experience in Rio. Luis is a kind and pleasant person, eager to share his knowledge of and experience living in Rio de Janeiro. Luis customized the itinerary based on the sights I was interested in seeing, and even made... More

Luis was our guide for our only full day in Rio and he certainly made sure it would not be forgotten. We were picked up at midday from our hotel as we didn't want an early start. Straight to Corcovado,which was definitely my highlight. He always ensured we had plenty of time for photographs etc and was never hurried. We... More

Due to a friend's recommendation we have booked a day with Luis. He also offered us to pick us up at the airport the night before which was quite comfortable after a long flight. Our tour started at 7:30 am to be able to make it to the Corcovado before everyone else arrived. He showed us places of his home... More

Luis loves Rio and knows what to show, but will customize and with him you can avoid long lines waiting for the bus or train. You can go on his website and choose what would you like... More

We had only two days in Rio during the Carnival. We wanted to get out most of the days so we hired Luis for a full day tour. He picked us up prompt, had a very comfortable car. He knew all streets of Rio (have been a taxi driver) so we got out of the chaotic traffic with ease. He... More

Ahead of our cruise around South-America we stayed 2.5 days in Rio. In order to get the maxium out of our short stay we decided to book a private guide for the first day. The big advantage to book a private guide is that you decide when to start or what to see. On Luis' advice we started the day... More

During my trip to an International Conference in Rio de Janeiro my South African agent booked mr Darin to pick me up from the Airport. Mr Darin is up to date on every aspect of Brazil as well as current international affairs. As you might know, English is a bit of a challenge in South America (including Brazil). Mr Darin... More
