I hired Regina to take me around Rio for a day in April 2015. I was nervous, being a female travelling alone in Rio, hiring Regina was the best move I could have made. She took be to places that I don't think I would have ventured to on my own. With Regina, you are not just hiring a guide, it's like hanging out with a friend! She is friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, and cares so much about your experience. Her love for her city is matched only by her knowledge of the history of all the amazing places she will take you to. She also has certified sightseeing privileges which allow you faster access and less waiting in line in some locations, VERY useful when traveling on holidays. I would recommend Regina to ANYONE visiting Rio, her fees are very reasonable and she is worth every penny.
