We toured for two days in Rio with Gus. He was great! We gave him a list of what we wanted to see and we did all those things plus a couple of his suggestions. His English is great and he is full of knowledge about Rio. He timed our visits to Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf so the crowds were not overwhelming.

we did with augusto 3 full days of private tour. any attraction where there are line, augusto knows how to cut the line, then the tour is very efficient, without him we could visit maybe half of the popular attractions. augusto recognized our expectations and added many places we even we didn't know about. so we are very satisfied of the tour with him.

I booked Augusto many months ahead of our arrival on Seabourn cruise (Feb 25-26, 2024). Gus was super quick to respond all my emails and he was very flexible. I already knew he could drive/guide us in his vehicle so I inquired if he could handle a group of 10. He informed me it was not a problem as he could rent a 15-passenger van with a driver.
On Feb 25, we were a group of 7 and we visited Petropolis. We really enjoyed it. Gus was super informative. He is a great teacher, very patient and full of passion.
On Feb 26, we were a group of 9 and we visited the highlights of Rio de Janeiro. What a great time we all had.
Do not hesitate to hire Gus. His English is perfect, he is patient and he will not disappoint you! It is obvious he loves his job. We all loved him.

Fantastic guide! Gus fully tailored our itinerary according to our preferences and allowed us to explore a lot of the city within the time we had (a weekend). Impeccable English and vast knowledge of the city's and country's history and context. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a private guide to help us more safely and easily navigate Rio. I had no idea what a good decision I made in booking Gus as our guide. We have traveled a lot and have had many guides all over the world, and Gus really stands out as the best. He really understands how to do this well. We hired him for two days to show us around Rio. I had a detailed list of places I had researched that I wanted to see, including restaurants. It was a challenge, and I knew we wouldn't get to everything. But Gus was masterful in organising the time and making sure we got as much done on my list as possible, while not being rushed, and he even added a few places that he felt we would enjoy that weren't on my list. He is skilled at logistics, which meant there was just no time wasted. He is also very easy to spend time with and just an all around nice guy. I knew within 5 minutes after meeting him on our first day that we made the right choice. We had a lot of fun chatting with him along the way and he helped us see Rio in a more authentic light than if we had tried to do this on our own. He even included lunches at the restaurants on my list that made sense with the itinerary, I mean it was perfect! Gus made our time in Rio better in every possible way--we saw way more, we had more fun, we felt way safer and he removed all the logistical stress. And to go above and beyond he booked us a dinner on another night separate from our tour and booked us a ride to the airport at the end of our stay, also separate from our tour. He made our time in Rio so, so much better. This guy could teach a master class in being a private tour guide. Thank you Gus!
