capriccio Posted January 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Anyone have a great experience with a guide in Rio.I just contacted one off TA for next Christmas/ New Years and he declined for that time of year. We (a family group of 4 adults) used Tour Guide Gus last year for a day of touring. He is a fantastic guide and a very interesting gentleman with excellent English. He (and his driver) got us around town without hitting lots of traffic and we didn't have to stand in any lines at all (that is almost unheard of!). http://tourguidegus.com/ https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g303506-d4976222-Reviews-TourGuideGus-Rio_de_Janeiro_State_of_Rio_de_Janeiro.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunenburg Posted February 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2018 We used https://www.dobrazilright.com/ along with a number of others on our recent cruise. They were great, very professional. We had a three day tour and Carnaval tickets and transfers. We saw all the attractions including a local street party, the botanical gardens, Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, the famous beaches etc. They have several options and Marcelo speaks great English.

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 25, 2018 #6 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I am just starting to research Rio tour guides vs doing it on our own. Sent from my iPhone using Forums In Rio I would not do it on your own. I would be with a guide who can get you to the key places and ensure you don't end up in unsafe areas.

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 25, 2018 #7 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Some places to visit. Hippie Market. Sounds like a funny name but a great place to pick up items at very reasonable prices. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Keith1010 Posted February 25, 2018 #14 Share Posted February 25, 2018 This area was created by artist Diego Selaron and is part of the Old City. He began this area in one small section and overtime it grew and people from all over the world sent him tiles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
