Visited Brazil for the first time. I chose a few tours but this one in particular was the best. Our guide was excellent, she helped us with the language since we only spoke Spanish and she even helped us order our food. I recommend choosing this tour on your next visit to Brazil.

Mauricío is the best guide, he's got great advices, he'll answer all your questions and he gives great commentary, as well as having done the tour in English, Spanish and Portuguese! We're really happy with the tour and would recommend it 100%!
