    Excellent

    I was barely staying 1 day in Rio and wanted to get a sense of the city. The tour guide, Antonio, put together a perfectly timed program with all the things I wanted to see. He arrived with a driver at the hotel; this meant that we could be dropped off and walk through parts of the town and then being picked up again by the driver at a different location, without wasting time. Things, like buying tickets (i.e. Corcovado Mountain ) went so smooth and stress-free thanks Antonio's experience. I highly recommend using Gregtur Tourism: trustworthy and good communication.

    A great private time with two wonderful people!!

    What an amazing time we had with Camila in Rio! Our flight was late and luggage took forever, but there she was waiting with a sign and a huge smile. We thought she would drive us around, but to our delight she introduced us to Junior, our personal driver. We had 2 great people serving just the 2 of us as if we were long lost family - sharing their stories and showing us the beauty and wonder of their home city, Rio de Janiero. When clouds prevented some planned views, they had quick alternatives lined up so we wouldn’t miss a thing. We even got to try the ‘best’ cheese bread in Rio from a small stall in Santa Teresa - along with a delicious Açaí smoothie. We were treated like royalty for well over four hours and we delivered, along with our luggage, directly to our hotel. Camila also volunteered to answer any questions we may have about Brazil (and even Moscow, where she’s lived for a while) in the future .., we made a friend and learned (and laughed) a lot with Camila and Junior. A simply wonderful experience all around!!

    Response from the operator: 🌟 What an amazing time in Rio with Camila and Junior! 😊 Despite delays, they warmly welcomed you and showed you the best of the city. From unexpected treats to personalized service, it was a simply wonderful experience! 🏞️ Thank you for sharing your adventure! 🌟🚗

    How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
