We were referred to Alfredo by Marcelo Armstrong of Favela Tours. We were contacted in a very timely manner and kept in touch with Alfredo via email prior to and after arriving in Rio de Janeiro. He is very professional and has a great knowledge and love for his city. His English is excellent! He arranged for tickets on the cog train to Christ the redeemer, gave a wonderful tour of his city along with historical information. He has his own car which is clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend Alfredo to anyone wanting a personalized tour of Rio de Janeiro.
