I absolutely love it! Considering the museums were closed, my guide Wagner tried his best to accommodate for it. I learned so much in just one day! Junior our driver got us to each stop safely. I highly recommend.

The best way to see this beautiful island! We had an amazing time on the boat ride and BBQ. The atmosphere was super laid back and fun. The captain was incredibly accommodating considering we were running a bit late to catch the boat! ????????‍♂️ ????. The food was delicious and fresh. This is the best excursion by far on the island. Just bring your sunscreen and a towel. You’ll be set!

Wow, I am not even sure where to start with our review of Gus and our fairy tale wedding on Jacone Beach. Words cannot express how thrilled we were with Gus and our wedding. Absolutely everything was incredible! From the moment we reached out to him until the end of the wedding day everything was just amazing. He worked with us to create an unforgettable day. Every last detail was perfect. There isn't anything we would do differently. Gus took care of every detail and we loved every second of our special day. Thanks to all of his hard work in making our wedding the best day of our lives, we will cherish our memories forever!

If you've heard of it. "Don't go to a favela" is dangerous. however, you know that this phrase is a preconception. Would you like to know two favelas? So come with me! You will visit the neighborhood while your guide tells the story of the community and how it has developed to this day. In the "sky window" at the top, you will see incredible views and take pictures. Following the same paths that the local population travels every day, you will experience the scenes and culture of this vibrant and friendly neighborhood. You will visit a neighborhood supermarket and other local businesses and see some of the social projects that benefit the community. I do not offer pick up. But I will send you the address so you can come by Uber / taxi or by subway. Getting to our meeting point is simple and inexpensive. You will need to bring money for a donation in some places we visit, such as rooftop viewpoints, souvenirs and Moto-taxi.

Inclusions: Local Tour Guide, good humor, Innovation, off the beaten path

Exclusions: Private transportation, Alcoholic Beverages, Snacks

Caio was not only an amazing tour guide with a great personality, but also a great photographer! He captured the most beautiful photos of us with the gorgeous scenery and sunset in the background. He taught us a lot about the culture and the history of the surrounding region. Definitely a highlight of our experience in Rio. He even helped us arrange a round trip driver for this tour as the hiking location is a bit far away from the city. What a memorable experience. Hiking with Caio was really part of what made this such an amazing experience

My wife and I just returned from our vacation in Brazil and are happy to share these comments with other travellers. We booked Be Free Tours for three days of private touring in the Rio area, blending together a few of their suggested itineraries. From the moment we were greeted at the airport by our guide, Marcelo G Elias, we knew we had made a good decision. His English was excellent, his manner relaxed, and we knew that we could adjust our plans on the fly if needed depending on weather and traffic. On the first morning we met a second guide, Rafael, and he and Marcelo worked together to show us the highlights of Rio. On the second day we all visited Petropolis and on our last day we did a walking tour of the downtown area followed by an interesting visit to one of the Samba Schools that was making their final preparations for Carnival. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Rio and the little local touches that can only happen with a private guide. Marcelo ensured that things went smoothly, paving the way by making lunch reservations and bypassing the crowds using local knowledge. We sampled local cuisine, fell in love with cinnamon flavoured Cappuccino, and appreciated the restaurant suggestions. Thanks to both Marcelo and Rafael for the wonderful experience.
