Everson was able to squeeze us in for 330-9pm very last minute. He picked us up in our hotel and because there were only 2 of us, he ended up using his car. Very cool! As he was driving, he was explaining to us different parts of the city buildings and its history, the people, the go to spots and where to be more cautious if we were gallivanting alone. The weather was really bad and he was honest and said we might not able to get a clear view of the Christ because of the clouds. We ended up going anyways and got a chance to see it as the clouds cleared up at times. It was dark by the time we finished the Christ the Redeemer. However we still got to tour Mirante Dona Marta, Santa Teresa, Selaron Steps and Sugar Loaf!!! In a short period of time, we saw the attraction spots and also the best night view on top of the mountain. Ederson was a friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating tour guide. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and his job is the epitome of his love for his country. Ederson always made sure we were okay with everything. He also made sure we got good pictures! Without a doubt will contact him if I ever go back to Rio!!

The tour with Ederson was amazing! He is so passionate about Brazil that it is addictive :) he is well organized to make sure I got to see the main sights but was also flexible to do some detours where possible. Can only recommend to do the tour with him!!! 

My wife and I planned to spend 2 days in Rio and didn't want to waste time trying to do things on our own so we contacted Ederson (TripinRio) and I am glad we did. We covered so much of Rio our friends will think we spent a week there.  We got to see places most tourist never heard of such as Joa Beach and the city across the bay - Niteroi where we had some fantastic views of Rio from a high vantage point. We passed fishing villages, and viisited an old Fort. We were also able to see the Olympic City built up for the 2016 Olympics in  Barra da Tijuca

Ederson is honest, trust worthy and easy to get along with. He speaks excellent English. We liked him a lot and if we ever get back to Rio, which I am hoping we will Ederson will be our first contact.
