One Day In Rio With A Photographer

We celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in Rio de Janeiro. Renata of Rio Photo Guide captured the magical moments of our special day. My wife and I just focused on each other, the occasion and the landmarks. If you are visiting Rio on a special day or occasion, eliminate the stress of photography, logistics and timing. Let Rio Photo Guide take care of the planning and you just enjoy the moments. In our case, we decided a private tour just for the two of us instead of the group tour. It's quicker and we got more pictures than we expected since we dont have to share Renata's time with the rest of the group.

Renata really helped make my experience in Rio unforgettable! She has such a great sense of humor and it was clear she genuinely loves sharing her city with visitors. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated that she took the time to suggest other things to do and places to check out around Rio, tailored to what I was actually interested in. If you're visiting Rio (especially solo!), booking time with Renata is a must. She's knowledgeable, warm, and clearly cares about making sure you have a great time. Can't recommend her enough!

Great experience, fire pics! I definitely recommend.

I had an absolute blast on my photo tour with Renata! She is truly amazing—not only is she an extraordinarily skilled photographer, but her knowledge of the local sites added so much depth to the experience. Highly professional and deeply patient, Renata instantly made me feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease throughout the day. That peace of mind allowed me to fully relax and enjoy every moment, making my time in Rio genuinely perfect and happy. To top it all off, the photos turned out stunning. I couldn't have asked for a better guide or photographer!

I cannot recommend this tour enough. Renata picked us up from our hotel and the whole day was well organized, even when the rain caused some hurdles. We never felt rushed and the pictures are beautiful!

My Rio tour was unforgettable thanks to my incredible tour guide and photographer. Renata was extremely knowledgeable about the city and knew the ins and outs. I appreciated her driving me around to different places to make sure I had the best experience possible. She also took professional photos and clearly knew the right angles, locations, and timing to capture great shots. I would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting Rio who wants a great tour and high-quality photos.

I had the pleasure of spending some time in Rio de Janeiro with Renata, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was always punctual, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took me to the best spots for photos, delicious local food, and great shopping, making sure I experienced the very best of Rio. The first tour was so good that I booked a second day with her. Not only did she capture amazing photos and videos that I’ll treasure forever, but she was also an absolute joy to spend time with. Her warm personality and attention to detail made my trip so much more enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone visiting Rio, you’ll be in excellent hands!

I am so happy I booked this experience with Renata. Not only is she a wonderful photographer-she is very friendly and knowledgeable about Rio. As a solo woman traveling, this was an awesome experience to see the major attractions while capturing them with beautiful pictures. I recommend this photo tour to everyone visiting Rio who wants to capture unforgettable memories.

Five stars is honestly not enough to rate Renata. I was a solo traveler visiting Rio for the first time, and hiring Renata was the BEST decision. She took fantastic photos, and knows so many interesting facts and histories of all the sights. She also knows the hidden gems, the good food spots, and the best angles for photos. Professional, smooth communication, and always good vibes. Obrigado Renata!

Renata is the best tour photographer we've had. She is very knowledgable about Rio and its surrounding areas. She picked us up from our hotel and took us on an amazing 8 hour tour of Christ the Redeemer, Dona Marta Lookout, Sugarloaf Mountain and Selarón Steps. She took unbelievable photos of us at each stop and explained in English the history behind each sight. It was so good that we booked 2 other tours with her during our stay. Make sure to book her on this tour. You won't regret it.

I have the feeling that hiring this service was one of the best calls I could have when visiting Rio. First, the guide really know the best places to take the photos, and how to access them in feasible time. Not only she will guide you for the spots, but she will also offer when there is a possibility to skip the lane in some attractions. Secondly, she is super friendly and has a sense of humor that just lights your day. The price is right for the service that is offered, but you can always select packages that are more suitable for your touristic profile. This service is a MUST to properly enjoy Rio ;)

Had an incredible photo tour of Rio with Rio Photo Guide! Renata, our photographer, was amazing — professional, friendly, and made the whole experience so fun. Every spot we visited was perfect, and the photos came out stunning. Highly recommend Rio Photo Guide and Renata to anyone visiting Rio who wants unforgettable memories captured beautifully!

Renata was truly an exceptional tour guide. She was so accommodating, kind, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. The photos she took came out amazing, and spending the day exploring the city with someone so knowledgeable made the experience unforgettable. We were able to see so many sights and enjoy every moment. She’s honestly one of the kindest people I’ve ever met, and I’ll be grateful for her help and kindness for a long time. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone :)

I booked two tours (one full day, and one half day private) with Renata (the owner of Rio Photo Guide). She is fairly flexible on the itinerary depending on your requests. She took excellent photos (fully edited and in a Google Drive photo afterwards) as well as just casually taking random shots for memories and keep sake. Communication was via Whatsapp. She does have an Instagram page of her recent outings, so I think if you're planning to book - check whether she's still active just in case she heads away on holiday! In terms of pricing - extremely reasonable - compared to competitors. I dare say a bit more cheaper actually. Though for me personally, if you're traveling from afar to get picture perfect memories - don't skimp on price. Just make sure if you intend or want good photos at Christ the Redeemer or Stairs of Selaron so start early - literally when it opens, else you'll have to deal with crowds non-stop! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 我透過 Rio Photo Guide的老闆Renata預訂了兩個行程（一個全天，一個半天私人行程）。她可以根據你的要求彈性調整行程。她拍的照片非常棒（後期會進行全面修圖並上傳到Google Drive），還會隨手抓拍一些照片留作紀念。我們透過WhatsApp溝通。她有一個Instagram帳號，上面會發布她最近的行程照片，所以如果你打算預訂，最好先確認一下她是否還在活躍，以防她去度假！價格方面，與其他同類服務相比非常合理，我甚至覺得更便宜一些。不過就我個人而言，如果你遠道而來，想要留下完美的回憶，那就不要在價格上省錢。如果你想在基督像或塞拉隆階梯拍出好照片，一定要早點去——最好是剛開門就去，否則你會一直被人群擠得喘不過氣來。

One of the best tours I have experienced in all of my travels. Highly knowledgeable on Rio's history and navigating the activities for optimal quality experiences. Photos were 11/10, absolutely amazing! I would book again without hesitation.

Absolutely incredible tour/photoshoot! You can tell Renata genuinely loves what she does. I am personally not a fan getting my photos taken but she made me feel very comfortable and I had an amazing time. 1000/10 experience and would do it all over again if I could!!

We had a really good day in Rio with Renata as our photo guide. She was on time, friendly, and answered our questions throughout the day. As a photographer, she has a great eye and managed to make even the busiest landmarks feel more personal in the photos. The pictures came out great and feel like a real reflection of the day. We’re glad we booked with her and would recommend her to others visiting the city.

Renata was a wonderful tour guide and photographer. She was easy to reach out to and she picked us up on time from our hotel. She greeted us with a warm smile and chatted with us along the way. You can feel how passionate she is with her job and she loves what she is doing. With her being behind the camera it was easy for us as we had already established great rapport with her. She showed us all the spots where to take photos and what poses to do. Seeing the Christ the Redeemer, Don Marta Viewpoint, Sugarloaf Mountain and Escadaria Selarón in real life were amazing but having this experience with her made it more special. The photos she took were gorgeous especially since it seemed like we were the only people in the places even though it was crowded. She helped and guided us all through the day and explained all the important details of the sites. If you want a rest day from taking photos and just enjoy the view then definitely book Renata as she is simply the best!

Renata was amazing . She embodies the culture of Brazi with her warmth . She is very professional and skillful at taking photos despite the circumstance. She will capture your moment . She knows her equipment very well so there’s not flaws in her game so you can be comfortable flowing in your artistic state while you let her worry about the photo taking ! She’s amazing !

Our guide was amazing. She knew all the best spots, queues, and photo angles at Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selarón Steps, and more. Multi-Lingual and Efficient. To top things off we had a surprise poolside breakfast and even a quick cachaça tasting stop, which made the day feel extra special. Bring a change of clothes and just show up ready to have fun, because everything else is taken care of. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend Renata ! An exceptional photographer—friendly, professional, and knows all the best spots in Rio for stunning photos 📸 ✨Loved it !! 👍👍👍👍👍

I had an incredible one-day tour in Rio with Renata as my guide and photographer. She was warm, professional, and knew all the best spots for both stunning views and great photos. Renata made me feel super comfortable, and the pictures she took are absolutely beautiful – such a great way to capture memories of the trip. Highly recommend this experience if you want to explore Rio and go home with amazing photos!

We had an amazing time with Renata! She is an expert guide full of information and easy to talk to. She took amazing family pics for us that would have been impossible for us to get on her own. She was so flexible and kind. One of our kids felt ill during the tour and we were able to cut the tour short and reschedule the remaining attractions for another day. I can’t thank her enough for that flexibility, it saved our trip. I highly recommend any of Renata’s tours!

Had an amazing time with Renata who helped us navigate tricky situation with Christ the Redeemer tram being under maintenance, without her expert guidance we would be stuck in long queue like other tourists. Renata also gave us historical information on Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Selaron Steps. Despite it being a very hot day Renata really showcased her professionalism by working hard to make sure we had a great time, would highly recommend doing this esp if you’re a solo traveller :)

Renata was AMAZING! You’d be doing yourself a huge disservice if you don’t book this tour while in Rio. She’s very knowledgeable. I traveled to Rio solo, and she helped make my 30th birthday trip one to remember. Thank you Renata!

This full day tour with Renata was amazing! She expertly navigated through the crowds at each location the group visited and ensured that we all got great shots from multiple angles. She's very knowledgeable about the history of Rio and enjoys sharing her love for the city with others. I highly recommend this tour, you'll have a wonderful time!

Renata is REALLY good at what she does. She is an amazing photographer and tour guide! She is very knowledgeable about Rio and the stories and details of all the places we visited. She was also truly devoted to capturing the most beautiful pictures and made me feel very comfortable. As a solo traveler, this experience was perfect! In a short time, I learned a lot about Rio's main sights while getting professional photos as souvenirs, without having to ask people around. Visiting with a professional guide and photographer is a unique experience and provided extra peace of mind. This was the best day of my two-week stay in Rio! It was a rich and amazing tour!

Absolutely loved this experience! Aside from the photoshoots, Renata was an excellent tour guide! She explained each location and the rich history behind it! It was the best way to tour Rio!!

As a solo traveler, I wanted to experience all the best spots in Rio without worrying about my stuff or my phone. This was the best option for me to explore the sights and also have professional photos taken. Renata is a licensed guide who knows the city very well and clicks pictures on her phone and her professional camera. She is super friendly, picks you up from your Airbnb drops you back, and shares insights about the city throughout the day! Definitely recommend her as a guide and as a photographer, especially if you are traveling by yourself!

Our Rio experience was even better thanks to the amazing tour with Renata. Not only did she expertly guide us through the city's landmarks like the Santa Teresa Steps, Christ the Redeemer, and Sugar Loaf Mountain, but her talent as a photographer also left us with photos and memories we'll be able look back on forever! Renata even saw us the second day at Christ the Redeemer and went out of her way to take more photos for us since it was a cloudy / foggy day on the day of our tour. From the vibrant Santa Teresa Steps to the amazing views from Christ the Redeemer, every moment was captured so well. Renata's easygoing nature, passion for the city and skills make her the ideal choice for an unforgettable Rio adventure!

I did a day tour of Rio with Photographer and Renata was such a genius! She went and beyond to create a memorable experience for me in Rio De Janeiro. She was very kind, accomodating and acted like a friend more than just a guide. We went to most main attractions in Rio in a day and she packed everything from morning till late afternoon so I did not miss a thing! She knew her way to find the quiet time with less people especially in crowded place like Christ the Redeemer. The overall experience was very fun. After few days, I received the pictures and videos and all of them were fantastic with beautiful view and she knew all the good spots to take the nice pictures! There were a lot of nice pictures and videos I even got confused which one to choose for my social media. I truly recommend Renata and her tour to be your best guide in Rio, especially if you are solo traveler like me or have limited time to spend in Rio but you want to experience everything in a very efficient time. You will love Rio even more after your tour with Renata!

The experience was incredible!!! Renata is an excellent guide!! My mom and I loved the tour and the photographs 🖤 we would choose this tour many more times.
