Urban Adventures was fantastic. Luiz picked us up on time and since there were only the two of us, it was a personal tour. He managed to throw in some sites in Rio that we had wanted to see but had not been able to schedule separately. His English was perfect having lived in the United States for two years.... More

We found both the tour and the guide, Luiz, excellent. We are not one for large group tours and there were only 3 of us on this tour which gave us the opportunity to go at our own pace as well as extract a lot of local knowledge from Luiz which was enlightening. We got a great insight into life... More

I´m not a regular tour go-er, I tend to avoid the big groups trailing around attractions all round the world and instead roam around on my own. However, as I was visiting Rio & Brazil for the first time, and I was taking my mother along for the ride, I decided that maybe something a bit more organised was a... More

I hardly ever write reviews, but this one deserves an awesome review. First of all, we not only booked tours with Urban but also Gray Line tours. Gray line tours was terrible. After the experience with Urban, we wish we had booked all tours with them. Urban tours gave us the experience of what Rio is really about - the... More

Not knowing what to expect (except for what we read online), my husband signed us up with Urban Adventures for two 4-hour tours of Rio over the few days we were spending in that beautiful city. Were we ever fortunate! Both days, we were picked up at our hotel by our excellent guides (the first day, Luis, the second, Gabriel)... More

These people are the best guides ever! I have traveled basically all over the world, and used many different types of tour guides, but I really enjoyed using Urban Adventures in Rio! Luiz was one of my tour guides, and very professional I got so much out of the day I spent with him. I booked 3 different tours in... More

We signed up for a nightlife of Rio tour with Urban Adventures and it was great! Our guide, who turned out to be the owner of the franchise in Rio (Luiz) was great! It was like riding around with a personal friend who knew all the right spots and people. We went to some local pubs, had some great snacks... More
