We were blessed to have met such a wonderful local! Not only is she a thorough guide, but she goes out of her way to give you want to want. She is so friendly and enjoyable, that even in the rain you will have a good time. I could not have seen more of Rio, her tour was completely satisfying.... More

In correspondence with Nayla before we arrived we had set out what we would like to see from a list she provided. Nayla met us from our hotel and then drove us around all day visiting, Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, all the main beaches, old Rio and the now famous tile steps, new Cathedral. Her bubbly friendly personality made... More

I have just had the joy of spending a day with Neyla! She was so knowledgeable, friendly, patient and caring. Neyla was open to doing whatever I wished for the day - however we did do the touristy things, including Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. What made my day special was Neyla giving personal touches to the day -... More

I went to Rio on a business trip in April and had just 1 day of spare time for sightseeing. Based on tripadvisor reviews I contacted Neyla who - luckily - responded immediately to my short-notice request. I don´t like big groups, so going on the private tour with Neyla was the perfect solution. I have to admit that this... More

My family and I had 3 days to see all of Rio, we booked this tour in hopes to make the most of our short trip to this wonderful city. We all decided this was definitely the best way to see Rio!!! It wasn't the best day, but Neyla made the most of it for my family and I. She... More

Nothing but amazing. If you want to see the real Rio and from a local's point of view, go with Olivia. Olivia knows everyone in Rio, sounds clichéd, but I don't think we stopped anywhere without bumping into someone she knew! If you're thinking of going through a favela, then Olivia is definitely the right person to take you through... More

We had the worst day possible for a tour. It was windy and rainy. She made the best of it and took us to some great spots with some interesting stories about each spot. She is a lot of fun and very knowledgeable. When I return, I will defiantly book her again to see the sights that we couldn't because... More

We spent 3 days in Rio and booked Neyla for a day on 29th March 2012..... Best thing we did ! The day we chose was a bit rainy and overcast, in fact we couldn't even see the Christ Redeemer, but Neyla took us around some great local markets until it cleared and then took us around all the things...

Last week I went to Brazil for business and went a couple of days early to see Rio. I was very fortunate to book Neyla on short notice and she far exceeded my expectations. Since I booked on very little notice, we did not plan ahead. Regardless, Neyla showed me an awesome 2 days in Rio with abolutely no logistical... More

Two senior couples recently spent a day in Rio with Neyla as our guide. We booked her in advance of our trip based upon Trip Advisor recommendations, & we're glad we did. Neyla showed up at our hotel promptly at our scheduled time, possessing a warm smile & an infectious exuberance about showing us "her city." She drives a Puegot... More
