“From start to finish our tour guide Darius was absolutely brilliant. He was knowledgeable, fun, always answered our questions and lead the tour with pure professionalism. The pick up was from our hotel which was convenient and having driven in an open-top Jeep from the hotel to Tijuca Rain Forest was an absolute delight. Darius was full of facts about the rainforest and Rio itself and it was a delight to be in his presence. If you’re ever in Rio this tour is well worth doing. Thank you to Darius (and driver whose name I didn’t get) for a five-star tour. I absolutely loved it.”
