Private Suv Up To 7 People : Cristo Redentor + Rio`s Hot Spots

I highly recommend booking Saffo for your tour. Throughout the tour before each site destination, he's breaking down the history of not only the country but each site you visit all while keeping you aware of your surroundings. He was very strategic in picking locations based on weather and safety. We navigated the Christ the Redeemer and the Escadaria Selarón with ease amongst other popular sites! By the end of the tour I felt so much more comfortable navigating the city by myself. Touring with Saffo is like getting a tour with family and this will truly be the cherry on top for your Brazil experience!!

My family had a 5-star tour experience with Alvaro! From the onset, he was responsive, friendly, and went out of his way to ensure that we maximized our one day adventure in RIO but everything was perfectly planned and did not feel rushed. We have traveled extensively and been in many tours, this was one of the best and I highly recommend!!

We had an overall great experience with Alvaro! It started way before the actual day trip. Alvaro took his time to explain everything in detail with many suggestions and links. On the day of the tour we were greeted by our accommodation and Alvaro took us on a great adventure. He had a few unexpected tricks for us and shared lots of history, information and insights about Rio and Brazil. We all enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it! Make sure to express your desires prior to the tour and see Alvaro in action!

The best tour ever. So much fun but got to see some of the best beaches in the world. This tour was organised soo help. Highly recommend

Alvaro was the most amazing tour guide, we had an absolutely epic time. One of my favorite days of carnaval! Alvaro thought of absolutely every detail and the day went perfectly. The beaches are incredible and so was the hike, the sunset, the snacks and drinks and a taste of Brazil. I am so grateful to have found this expedition and would love to go again / anywhere with Alvaro! Also loved the photo shoot, so many nice touches.

We had an amazing experience with our guide, Saffo. From the very beginning, he offered us a fully personalized tour of the city, perfectly combining history, culture, and the most iconic places with an ideal pace. What stood out the most was the sense of safety and confidence throughout the entire tour, along with the fun and positive energy he brought to the experience. His historical knowledge is impressive, and his fluency in multiple languages made everything clear, dynamic, and highly professional. Additionally, the photos he took of us were truly professional, capturing every moment in a spectacular way. It was much more than just a tour — it was a complete experience that exceeded all our expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to discover the city in an authentic, safe, and unforgettable way.

We had a truly special and memorable day thanks to Alvaro. He was generous with his time and local knowledge, flexible in accommodating our needs, and made sure we experienced the stories behind the city’s most important landmarks. Best of all, the photos he captured of me and my son are simply outstanding — memories we’ll treasure forever.

This is an absolute MUST when visiting Rio!!! Made the entire trip worth it! On top of all of the knowledge and sites, the photographs are top notch!! Would recommend!!! 10/10!!

This tour was absolutely amazing. I booked on my last day in Rio and it was my best day there. Alvaro knows the best spots for pictures and hidden gems. Add on the professional photography. Pictures are so much better that way. The knowledge that comes with the tours is such a learning experience. After being in Brazil for a week, I still learned new things from him. Don’t worry, you won’t go hungry or thirsty during the day. There are a lot of great surprises in this vehicle! I am a solo woman traveler, and I felt completely safe and would book any tour with him. I felt like I was leaving a friend. Do not pass this tour up! Well worth it

We had a great experience with Alvaro ! Alvaro is a great tour guide (or a big brother like he prefers to call himself) , he knows what’s best , has a great knowledge about the city , great at communication, exceptional execution! Key highlights: 1) Alvaro provided detailed explanation and options for what’s possible along with tips for doing stuff DIY during the planning 2) Always responsive 3) He introduced us Mate and Globo snacks , I can’t remember how many packets of Globo I had after Alvaro introduced it to us during the trip 4) His car was very clean , comfortable , had wifi and drinks too PS: we loved the fact that we didn’t had to stop for lunch which wastes time and instead Alvaro prepared snacks/drinks which were great!

Did this tour solo with Saffo. From the start good communication and very well planned. I got the full package on this one combining a guide, driver, and personal photographer all in one. Very knowledgeable of the city and learn much along the way. Pictures taken nothing short of amazing. He is def one of the best all in one guides ever and if you seek a trip to rio don't hesitate to reach out. Won't regret the incredible experience provided. 10 stars out of 5.

We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. We had two young children, and Alvaro adjusted the trip to meet our needs. We got to see all the best spots in Rio and learn about the city’s history at the same time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and a great person to spend the whole day with. We’re already planning to come back and use him as our guide again. He is also a photographer and the pics looks amazing! We loved the car too!

Alvaro took amazing care of my wife and I, showing us all the major sights in the City in a compressed time period. He was generous, kind with his time and informative and tool amazing shots which were sent to us within 24 hours. I can't recommend him enough!

A truly amazing experience! Alvaro was prepared for everything! We enjoyed the first tour so much that we asked for another. During the city tour, he tailored the tour exactly to our interests! Great communication and great energy. Highly recommend 10/10!!!

We were initially planning on touring the city on our own. However, after meeting Saffo on a Barra da Tijuca tour, we had to ask him to take us on a City Tour. We're so glad Saffo was able to do this. It was evident we would've had challenges on our own as the city was packed. Saffo knows all the secrets and ins & outs. He just makes everything easier so all you have to worry about is having fun. We ticked everything off our list and had a great time.

Awesome tour! A must have in Rio! Adds flavor to your Rio visit; an authentic Brazilian experience

We had gone on a tour with Alvaro of the local beaches, and he was so good, we booked the city tour with him. And we were glad we did! He took us to out- of-the-way places we would never see with other tour guides. I felt like I really got to know Rio because of Alvaro. I'm a senior citizen and was traveling with my son's family. I have some mobility issues, and Alvaro went above and beyond to accommodate me when they were places I didn't feel comfortable walking with my family. And he spends so much time taking photos of us at our various stops - I've never experienced this with any other tour guide. On top of that, he has a great personality, and we felt we were leaving a "friend" when the day long tour ended. If I return to Rio, Alvaro is the person I would call for another tour. Thanks, Alvaro, for everything!

After spending the day with the best tour guide ever (Alvaro) and seeing more than a dozen of Brazil's beautiful and sparsely populated beaches, we knew we had to take another tour with Alvaro. Once again, he did not disappoint! He thought of everything (again) to make it a GREAT day for everyone in our family from the kids to the grandparents. I cannot give a higher recommendation for Alvaro, he is truly the best and when we go back to Brazil some day, we will definitely call on him again!

Personalized Unique Experience The best tour I’ve ever had by far. Alvaro is great and there are no words to describe all the attention he offers. Beautiful places in Rio! Would love to come back.

One of the best experience that i had in my life everything was perfect even the weather. The people incredible friendly

Can’t miss this when you come to rio de janerio. And we got the best guide alvaro, very simple and fun guy, he helped us to get the best picture from there.

We had so much fun on this tour! Alvaro really made our trip to Rio the best it could be! He showed us around the main sites and threw in some extras as well. He is very well prepared and thoughtful throughout the whole tour. He takes great pictures which is great at Christ the Redeemer, cause those are some hard angles to get! If you want to see the main sites Rio has to offer, go for this tour!

Alvaro is amazing! The vibes the preporation. He really cares that you enjoy yourself! Felt completely safe and enjoyed the entire day. If you’re looking to enjoy your day book everything Rio with him!

We absolutely had a great day on this tour with Alvaro. He is extremely nice and fun, shared valuable information about the city’s culture and history. We felt comfortable during the entire journey while enjoying some good Brazilian musics along the way. He took pictures and videos for us with his own professional camera as a bonus. Our experience with him overall was outstanding. I would highly recommend Alvaro_Saffo Tour. Belle & Steve

If you are looking for a tour guide who will treat you like family, has impeccable attention to detail and will make your trip memorable, look no further! Alvaro was an amazing host for our final days in Rio. He was punctual, friendly and thoughtful down to the most tiny details of our tours. We started out with a tour to Telegrafo, which was an amazing adventure in and of itself, and liked him so much, we added another tour the following day. He is knowledgeable about the region, speaks multiple languages and truly cares about his guests from start to finish. The photos and videos are an added bonus. The communication from start to finish was amazing!

Alvaro is excellent host, super recommended, this all the time worried that experience is unique and unforgettable would return a thousand times with him.

We loved the experience from the beginning to the end. Mr.Alvaro is a super friendly, cult and helpful person. I myself love these tours huge in comparison with the large companies, we get to know different sites, we were able to ask questions and learn about the history, the culture.

Great experience. Alvaro very attentive and prepared. 100% recommended for families who want to know Rio safely.

A unique experience, all made to know the most and not miss anything , Álvaro super attentive , impeccable attention, super recommended 🇧🇷

Friends of Mexico and the world, the best city tour you can take in Rio de Janeiro, Álvaro is Best of the Best has many surprises prepared for you, knows the city 100%, accommodates your times and preferences, we will definitely come back with you my friend, we recommend 100% to Alvaro, you will have fun, you will know many things about Rio, so have fun and relax that Alvaro will make you feel at home with everything he has prepared for you

It is an encounter full of color, joy, good stories and a man full of surprises. From being able to taste local flavors that he offers to take you to rare and visited corners and then immerse yourself in the tangle of tourists as if you were the only one for him and his camera. Alvaro is the equivalent of a brand “SAFFO”, which has from the simplest to the most elegant in a simple smile and a creative photographic shot full of possibilities. It made my trip wonderful and was the perfect complement to a great story of light and color.

Fun and complete experience recorded by the main points of Rio. The Guide, always prepared for everything, has strategies and routes that make the experience incredible even if the weather or people don't cooperate. Highly recommended for those who like to have fun and save the best photos of their trip.

The best trip of my life, provided by SAFO. Great professional, competent, dedicated, he made our trip an incredible moment in our lives!

The tour with Saffo is spectacular, he does everything to make the client feel good with great information and tips, we loved the tour and recommend it.

I was lucky to do a Private City Tour with the amazing guide Saffo and I can say it was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. From the beginning, I felt I was in good hands, but what really impressed me was how he managed to turn a simple tour into a personal and meaningful adventure. What distinguished Saffo from any other guide I’ve ever traveled with was its ability to establish a genuine and friendly connection. From the moment we met, he transmitted a warm and friendly energy, making me feel like I was walking with a longtime friend. Its welcoming and open personality created a relaxed and fun Mood throughout the tour. In addition to being extremely friendly, Saffo also demonstrated a deep knowledge of the city and its history. His passion for the place was evident in every explanation and anecdote shared. It not only led us to the main sights, but also introduced us to secret and less known places, revealing the authentic essence of the city. Each stop was accompanied by fascinating stories and interesting details, making the experience rich and engaging. Saffo has shown itself flexible and willing to adapt the tour according to our interests and preferences. He was always ready to answer all our questions and was genuinely interested in providing us with a tailored experience. His attention to the details and care in ensuring we were fully enjoying the tour was impressive. During the tour, Saffo not only introduced us to the city, but also introduced us to its culture, traditions and even local gastronomy. It led us to some amazing places to taste delicious delicacies, providing a complete experience for all our senses. At the end of the tour, I felt inspired and excited by the experience I had. Saffo not only showed me the sights, but also helped me create lasting memories. His friendship and genuine care made this experience even more special. I would recommend Private City Tour with Saffo to anyone who wants to explore the city in a unique and meaningful way. If you’re looking for more than just a tourist guide, but a friend who shares your love for the city, then Saffo is the right choice. I thank Saffo for making my tour experience so special. Hope to meet you again on future trips!

Beautiful day tour de rio and adventure in the jungle with Alvaro, who loves to meet and practice his French. he is quite passionate about photos and new technologies. his 4x4 is overequipped, he always knew how to serve us small snacks or gestures of attention. especially he has all the excellent addresses, he is an excellent communicater by networks especially on WhatsApp and he knows so well the best circuits that he always comes outside of busy hours.

An unforgettable experience, a unique and personalized attention. It is a tour that fills you with very good energy, is full of surprises and Alvaro is the best guide. Happy of this beautiful memory that I took from Rio de Janeiro, I would definitely come back!

Spectacular.. the well private tour with surprises through the city knowing a lot.. of a distinct way.. super recommended experience

Super well coordinated the tour, takes full time to enjoy each stop and landscape. The amazing photos. Also makes the ride super dynamic and entertaining, Saffo makes you feel like a friend on the ride.

Alvaro’s Service was exceptionally professional. Fun, respectful, knowledgeable of the history of Rio de Janeiro, sensitive to the needs of the family, culturally competent, and countless reasons why I can strongly recommend your services. Álvaro has exceptional time management, he does his job with a passion that shows he enjoys it enormously. My family and I had a unique and unforgettable experience thanks to him. We don’t see the time to go back to Rio and be in your van enjoying the city and its music. THANK YOU A MILLION

Everything, Álvaro is too much. You know the right times, I managed to take beautiful pictures at sunset, a top photographer. I loved it all. Valeu Álvaro 👍

Álvaro is a super good guy, does not measure efforts to please during the whole ride. It really knows the city and takes us to places that a tourist would never know exist in Rio. It's too worth it. In addition to the photos he takes and makes available at no additional cost. We will return for sure!

I have no words to describe this tour, Álvaro of the best, every penny invested is worth it, unique transportation! Álvaro is guiding you through the best places, explaining curiosities and knows the best spots to take the best photos, definitely when I return to Brazil I will look for Álvaro, do not hesitate to enjoy this tour in his company, it is a 10 out of 10.

Safo tour under Alvaro The best Guide in Rio . Shows you the whole city and special places in the city

Unforgettable experiences, different places, and many memories. I was hoping for a good guide and he turned out to be also a great connoisseur of Brazilian culture, cheerful, friendly and with many food tips, shopping and places to know. Don’t expect the typical crowded, slow, serious, and structured tour. You'll find fun and lots of photos. I was happy with the experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent tour, the second tour we took with Alvaro, this time a more citizen walk, the most popular places of river, lots of history by the guide, Excellent Mood, Good organization of time, good talk and the best photos of Rio de Janeiro, all this always in a Mood of respect and friendship, you feel at home. It is what is appreciated from the local guides, who make you feel at home. Alvaro an excellent person and guide. We highly recommend it! It's worth it, and it offers you more for your investment.

I had little time in the city, but in one day I met beautiful places, I loved the walk, attention and attention. Super indico!!

Visiting Christ the Redeemer has always been my wife Sandra's dream! We were concerned because, although we were enjoying the trip well, due to the pandemic the main tourist points were still closed and the opening of the visitation of the Christ was the weekend that preceded our return to São Paulo. We bought the tickets for Sunday-16.08.2020, the weather was very closed throughout the day, but we didn't miss Hope a single moment. Our Positive Thinking + the High Astral and availability of our Friend Alvaro Macedo, we managed to 45 of the second time to rise to Christ, the time opened, and it was Wonderful! Thank you for fulfilling this dream!!!

The tour was amazing, it was the second tour I did with Álvaro and I intend to do more. True companion throughout the tour, explaining the whole city and offering amazing routes throughout the tour. And the photos provided as souvenirs from all the tours are wonderful.
