I found out about Neyla through TripAdvisor, and I'm glad I did. Although Neyla was booked for the day she recommended Patricia, and what an excellent recommendation it was. Patricia knew all and sundry, got parking space in difficult spots, helped us past the queues to Sugar Loaf and showed us places we would not normally have seen. The Redeemer... More

We only had 1 day in Rio to finish our honeymoon and decided to use Neyla to show us around the city. She is absolutely fantastic, drove us around and tried to show us as much as possible within the short space, explained the history culture and everything we need to know. She is good fun, speaks excellent English and... More

Based on previous Trip Advisor reviews I contacted Neyla several weeks before our trip to Rio. She was very quick and thorough in her responses. We booked her for 2 full days and got to see the major attractions and other out of the way sights based on our interests. Neyla is very charming, easy going and is a fountain... More

Neyla by any standards provides an informative and interesting fun time. She knows the city well and has a host of great stories and facts. Her approach is flexible simple and effective by showing not only the major tourist attractions but also some of the less obvious, but equally interesting sights like a farmers market. Using Neyla also has practical... More

I can say with honesty that this was the best tour that my family and I have ever been on. Neyla was very quick to respond to our short notice request for a day tour and arranged for us to be with one her colleagues, Olivia. Olivia was great fun to be around, spoke fantastic English, was very knowledgable and... More

We had layover in Rio de Janeiro, flying from Buenos Aires to Amsterdam with TAM/KLM. We arranged with Neyla few month before, that she will pick us up in the morning and drop back to airport after the tour in the evening. She did exactly that & we still talk about her to date. After few moments of initial meeting... More

I had contact Neyla for a day tour while we were in Rio but she was already booked for the date we wanted. She suggested that we tour with Patricia Furtado with whom she works. WOW – what a GREAT tour with Patricia! She picked us up promptly at 7:30 am and took us to Christ the Redemer. We were... More

We had so much fun touring Rio with Neyla. We saw more of Rio than we could have ever imagined. She picked us up at the airport when we arrived and saw everything that we wanted to see that weekend in one day. Her energy was contagious and we had so much fun. She even showed us parts of the...

We wpent a week in Rio. Neyla was recommended to us by an associate whose firm has used her before with good results. I can absolutely say without anh hesitatin that, the absolute highlight of our vacation was the one day private tour we took with Neyla Bontempo. She made our vacation. She is not inexpensive but she is well... More
