About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- annemonej0 contributionsTour canceled without informationDo not recommend. We arrived at the given location at 8am. Nobody showed up. We waited and waited, then tried to call the tour operator. Nobody picked up. Finally about 45 minutes later the tour operator replied that the tour wouldn't be taking place due to carneval. We were never informed about this and were able to book the tour normally. We wasted so much time and wish we would have been informed earlier.Written 4 March 2025
- JOSEPH B0 contributionsAMAZING LAPA NIGHT LIFE EXPERIENCELapa Night life Tours was amazing! Had plenty places,samba performances,others places had both Samba,funky and jazz music. Lapa was lively with great people enjoying the music.The vibe at Lapa is Amazing. Thanks again to KingsTurismo led by Anderson. If you wanna experience Brazilian night life,Lapa is place to visit and book with KingsTurismo too.Written 22 February 2025
- JOSEPH B0 contributionsUNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCESalgueiro had vibrant samba performance with electrifying energy,skilled dancers and drummers creating lively and immersive atmosphere. This was a golden chance to experience the carnaval spirit that carries great Brazilian culture. Special thanks to Anderson for leading us in this unforgettable experience.Written 22 February 2025
- Mark j0 contributionsFinished before StartWill not recommend, the operator cancelled the booking few hours before the show. They asked me to cancel on our end. We tried to cancel but the Tripadvisor platform did not have the option for full refund due to operator cancellation. This has ruined my day for no reason of my own and now I have to wait for my money to be refunded byTripadvisor. Will not recommend to anyone.Written 31 December 2024
- sarahdA6712JV0 contributionsExcellent TourExcellent trip with a fantastic guide. Driver was skilled & navigated some really narrow streets expertly! Our guide was friendly & knowledgeable and took some brilliant photos for usWritten 28 November 2023
- 708kimq0 contributionsInformational and Interesting!Eva and Anderson were amazing guides for our family trip to Petropolis! They were not only personable, but they both had a lot of good history and facts for each of the sites, and you can tell their passion for story telling. Also very good for second language English speakers/understanding, as my parents are non native speakers!Written 26 November 2023
- cibotarus20230 contributionsThe bestVery good. Anderson is the best! The tour was long enough. We enjoyed everything, every places and also the guide jokes.Written 28 January 2023
- 143atulm0 contributionsGood trip but...The natural beuty of some of the islands we visited was amazing. The schooner were clean and good with the party music going on all the time. However, the drinks were unreasonably expensive and the time spent on some of the places was too short. Maybe they could avoid one of the beach stops and just spend more time where we have lunch. The fish in the lunch was good but otherwise the fare was limited esp. when you compare with some of the other amazing brazillian buffet I had. The bus to take us back and forth was very comfortable. however, the communication from the tour operators regarding pick-up time left a lot to be desired. Got no response to my repeated request regarding pick-up time and on last min. was told pick -up will be 1 hour late. We could have slept the extra hour. The tour guide was efficient thoughWritten 25 January 2020
- alanayarsa0 contributionsAmazing!I came to visit Rio with my sister for 3 days and of course we were planning to find the best and the cheaper way to enjoy this amazing city. Thankfully we found this company. They picked us up at 8:30 am (as promised) and dropped us off at 5:30 pm. The van was with clean and comfortable. The tourist guide was stunning (Liliana lopes). She was so friendly, kind and the best photographer. Hahah! Seriously, she offered to take pictures for us and she took the time for us to pose. At the end of the trip we have 650 photos thanks to her. We ate lunch in a buffet it was delicious, clean and organized. TIP: believe it is cheaper to get the tour rather that try to do it by yourself. Especially if you are not familiar with the language.Written 19 January 2020
- expom20150 contributionsWon't to go back to paradiseMost beautiful island We called in here from a cruise ship didn't realise it's so big. Lots of schooner ships taking people for excursions. A hive if activity. So many bays on the island think there is over a hundred. No cars all transport. By boat. A great little village good food lots to see. Wish we could have stayed a few daysWritten 19 November 2019
- Rachfrompalmy0 contributionsSalgueiro and Tijuca Samba School tourIt was an amazing and unforgettable experience! It was made better because I didn't have to think about safety, transportation and what to do. Anderson (Kings' best tour guide!) organised everything. All I had to do is be there and party! Mind you I was a solo female traveler... Excellent guide and I can tell that he really knows history of Samba and is very passionate about it. He knows people and you can even get a picture with the lead singer! what about that!?! It was easy business with him. He replies really quick and is very flexible. Just tell him what you want and he'll find a way. My Rio trip was made extra special without the stress and worries... And the best part - the price is so worth it! I really think I got a great deal of it.Written 11 November 2019
- Promise J0 contributionsBest Tour I've Ever Had!!This was my first time to Rio and I must say that it won't be my last!! I had an amazing time with Kings Tourism with Anderson as our guide. He was entertaining, funny, and kind. I highly recommend them to guide you through the most popular attractions in Rio and the exciting nightlife!! Definitely worth it!!Written 28 August 2017

Full immersion tour of the Favela Rocinha. Our fantastic guide Anderson accompanied us and illustrated every single corner of the favela.
We really appreciated his advice (additional motorcycle ride through the streets of the favela, visit of some viewpoints and the capoeira school). He also supported us during our purchases at the markets, making the experience even more fantastic!
Don't think about it, rely on Anderson and enjoy the beautiful Favela Rocinha!

I never thought it would be possible to visit the favela for fear, but with the guide Anderson Reis from Kingsturismo I felt super calm and so I took the most of the experience.

Fantastic adventure lived together with the expert and highly trained guide Anderson. He first explained the type of culture present in the Favelas and then took us to the most representative places of the Favela Rocinha.
An experience and a guide that I recommend to everyone!
