Perfect! We had an absolutely magnificent trip to Brazil, and a large part of its success is thanks to our agent, Antoine. Everything was perfectly organized, from transfers to hotels and all the different stages of the trip. We particularly appreciated his availability, responsiveness, and the quality of his recommendations. Throughout our stay, we felt supported without ever feeling like the trip was overly "organized." A truly personalized, professional, and attentive service that allowed us to fully enjoy Brazil without worrying about the logistics. We highly recommend them and will most certainly use Good Guide in Rio again for a future trip!

An unforgettable trip! 😎 I had a fantastic time in Rio, visiting all the city's must-see spots: the colorful Ipanema market, Christ the Redeemer, the young Tijuca forest, the vibrant street food scene, the bohemian atmosphere of Santa Teresa, and a great night out in the Lapa neighborhood. A huge thank you to Antoine for the perfect organization of our trip, to our guide Ivan for his knowledge of Rio and for sharing his playlist, and to our driver Paolo for his exemplary driving in all circumstances. All three demonstrated great professionalism, remarkable efficiency, and impeccable punctuality. Their professionalism, availability, and good humor greatly contributed to making this trip enjoyable and unforgettable. Special mention goes to their humor and friendliness, which created a wonderful atmosphere throughout the trip. I highly recommend their services to anyone who wants to discover Rio in the best possible conditions!

Wonderful Day! We stayed in Rio from August 12th to 15th, 2026, and we chose the company "Good Guide in Rio" for our airport transfer and a day trip with a French-speaking guide (visiting Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, and the Santa Teresa neighborhood). Antoine, our contact person at the time of booking, was incredibly responsive. The quote for services was clear, and the deposit payment was secure via a PayPal link. The small guide sent at the time of booking was very useful; it's not always obvious that you can withdraw money from pharmacies... As it happened, our plane was delayed by twelve hours, and we arrived at Rio airport at the time we were supposed to start the excursions. Very professionally, our day's program was completely changed, our tickets were replaced, and we had a fantastic day with our guide, Jean René, who showed us the various monuments in perfect French. He also shared his culture and knowledge of Rio and Brazil throughout the day. I mustn't forget our charming driver who carefully and kindly guided us through the streets and neighborhoods of Rio. Bravo and thank you to Good Guide in Rio and to Jean René for this unforgettable day of discovery.

Our Best Trip Ever! We organized our trip with Antoine. He listened carefully to our wishes and perfectly met our expectations. In Rio, our guide Edmundo knows his city so well that it was a real pleasure to discover it with him. In Buzios, we stayed in a magnificent hotel with an incredible view. In Salvador de Bahia, our guide Raimundinho loves his city and shared that passion with us. Then, we went to the Northeast. The Lençóis Maranhenses desert is incredibly beautiful, the spectacle of the scarlet ibises is magical, Jeri is a must-see… we always stayed in lovely pousadas where the welcome was impeccable, the drivers were always punctual, and we never had to wait for transfers (boat/car/buggy…), which is incredible when you consider the organization involved. Antoine was always available and responsive throughout our stay. This trip is the best we've ever taken, and all four of us want to return to this wonderful country. Thanks again Antoine for organizing it so well.

Exploring Rio: We organized tours with Antoine; there were 10 of us, including 6 children. Antoine knows Rio extremely well, and is also very familiar with Carioca culture, as well as Brazilian culture in general. We all loved it. We highly recommend him and can't wait to return to Brazil by organizing a trip with Good Guide in Rio.

Four fantastic days with Ivan! Second trip to Rio and second experience with Good Guide in Rio. We can't wait to go back. A tailor-made trip, excellent advice for exploring independently. We also used them for transfers and other locations in Brazil (this time Paraty and Ilha Grande, as well as São Paulo). Efficient, friendly, and ethical. Tudo bem!

Rio in 3 days. We gave Good Guide in Rio free rein to organize our 3-day visit to Rio. We left delighted and enriched. Alex showed us a 360-degree view of Rio. Superb organization thanks to Fernando and his car, which was always waiting for us in the right place at the right time. A great moment with Marco in the Santa Marta favela. We weren't even scared.

An incredible trip ! So where to begin this wonderful stay! A fantastic welcome at the airport with Philippe, who would later be our guide in Rio. All the tours were simply amazing, as was our driver, Paulo. His restaurant recommendations were fantastic! Everything was tailor-made. This is the second time we've trusted Antoine; I highly recommend him. We're continuing our trip in the Northeast. Until next time! 😜
