    We (a group of six)spent a full day with Isaac, visited Sugar Loaf, Catedral Metropolitana de Sao Sabastiao. Sambódromo da Marquês de Sapucaí, a wonderful Brazilian lunch buffet , Selaron Steps and Christ the Redeemer at Corcovado. At the end we stopped at the top of Estrada do Sumare where we have the panoramic view to see the whole Rio.
    It was such a wonderful and unforgettable experience for all of us. Thank you Isaac and Tiago.

    Our trip together took all of Sunday. It started early in the morning with a visit to Christ the Redeemer. There were not many people early in the morning.
    We then visited several nearby hills with spectacular panoramic views of Rio De Janerio.
    Also on our itinerary were, Escadaria Selarón, Parque Natural Municipal Dois Irmãos - Dois Cariocas, Ipanema Beach, Copacabana Beach.
    Sugarloaf Mountain was the last place we saw.
    The tour was wonderful, filled with stories and interesting facts. I spent an enjoyable Sunday in good company.

    Kelly + Rio Encantos=Culturally eye opening, rigorously intellectual, historically contextualized, and fun, for all ages! We weren't an easy family krew, admittedly. We expressed strong regional affiliations with other parts of fabulous Brazil, but Kelly won us over on all things Rio. Her breadth and depth of regional knowledge is second to none. She was also an engaging playmate for our 6 year old, making for levity, learning, and accessibility that our child is unlikely to have received through other guide services. Book with Kelly soonest, her services are in high demand. You'll be delighted with what you learn from her wide spanse of expertise.

    The company were superb guide arrived early had excellent English and was very knowledgeable. The first visit was to Christ the Redeemer with special places on the train for wheelchairs and priority boarding. On arrival specially trained men to hold chair in escalator and all areas acceptable in the chair. Next cathedral all fine and Olympic boulevard. Sugar loaf Mountain again very easy in the chair with cable car access easy and lifts to all floors. The beach areas have flat access the only difficulty was side streets which are cobbled and drop pavements s bit scarce. Overhaul a great place to visit since olympics have made Rio get it right. Conclusion the best place I have ever visited in the chair.

    I went for a trail run tour in Tijuca Forest with Rio Running Tour. The experience was for a trail run enthusiast like myself an unforgettable. Moreover, the guide was very professional and friendly. Not only was the Rio introduced from the perspective of trail running, but the guide also explained the historical backgrounds of the Tijuca Forest. The tour took me also to wonderful natural sights, from which there were magnificent views over Cidade Maravilhosa.

    I can recommend Rio Running Tour for everyone wanting to experience Rio de Janeiro from a runners' perspective.

    I would recommend Rio World Connection to any first-timers in Brazil. I was unsure what to do and how to experience the Carioca culture, but Marcos took great care to show my friends and me a great time. We went to Pedra da Gavea which is a must if you are in Rio de Janeiro. It helps to have a guide as the hike can be pretty challenging but well worth it. We also went rock climbing near Sugar Loaf. It was a great experience with a beautiful view of the ocean. During the night, we would go out to Forro and Samba events. Thank you, Marcos and Rio World Connection for showing us a real Brazilian experience.

    A once and a lifetime experience! If you love to hike then I highly recommend it. The views were surreal. The hiking varied and was tough, but made you feel so accomplished. Plus though it was very difficult, Thiago was incredible! He made you feel very safe and comfortable. He also had so much knowledge and knew all the great places and ways to take photos. He really went above and beyond and made a cool experience that much better. Perfect way to spend our last day in Rio. Also saw monkeys and Toucans.

    Curumim were recommended to me by a colleague in Rio. They arranged me a fantastic tour at a reasonable price. Marcio was always really responsive to questions and kept me updated with details and checked in to ensure it all went well. Very trustworthy and reliable.
