You must do this tour! As a female solo traveler, I was nervous about going to Rio by myself. I did this tour on my first day in Rio and it was a perfect way to become comfortable in the city and orient myself. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our guide, Luiz! His fantastic easygoing attitude really put... More

I booked the full day tour after completing a 8 day Interpid tour that finished in Rio but didn't include much in Rio itself. Urban Adventure with Luiz was the perfect day tour. There were only three of us, and Luiz was what you would want in a guide: knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. He showed us some of the best... More

I did two tours with Luiz on Easter Weekend, 2013, and they were a fantastic introduction to Rio. The first tour was to a favela - wonderful to see the "authentic" side of Rio, apart from the lovely hotels and beaches. It was also great to see how they are improving living conditions there and working together as a community.... More

I booked the full day tour in Rio to be able to see as much as possible of Rio in one day. It was a great decision and I had such a cool experience. Luckily I was the only person who had booked a tour for that day, so it was just Luiz and me. This meant that it felt... More

If you are a beach lover, walk or run on over to Copacabana and/or Ipanema!! Starting with the sun rising and ending with the sun setting. Wonderful life, wonderful energy all day long. Then relax with tropical drink juices and enjoy.

I booked the 'Total Rio Tour - Full day tour in Rio de Janeiro' and was not disappointed. It was a fantastic way to spend a day in Rio. We strolled the beautiful neighborhood of Santa Teresa, walked down Selaron's staircase, visited the Statue of Christ and experienced Santa Marta Favela. In addition, we: learnt how to negotiate the public... More

Luiz was a genuine person who kept my attention all day long. Neither my wife nor I will ever forget his tour through a favela. He showed great respect for the people living there, and I have nothing but high praise for him as a guide and a person. His little girl should be very proud of her father. We... More

We were very impressed with the tour. Luiz was great! We got there early and he was there and we even waited an extra 30 mins as some people were running late. We did the half day Santa Teresa tour, and the best thing was that it didnt feel like we were a 'tour group', we could take our time... More
