Let’s do it again!
This trip was awesome mainly because of this team. Traveling to a foreign country is great but can be overwhelming trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. These guys turn curiosity into fun, challenges to ease and expectations to awesome experiences. I highly recommend them I missed them already. Thank you again.

Couldn’t imagine a better tour!
My friends and I were visiting Rio from the United States and really enjoyed having Dandara as our guide! Her English was excellent (most of our group don’t speak the Portuguese) and she gave us a lot of information about the forest, famous landmarks, and the local neighborhoods. I really appreciated everything she shared with us about the local culture and will definitely book with her again in the future!

Best Tour in Rio
This is my third tour with Dandara and it was a blast! My friends who were visiting Rio for the first time got to know the city so well and we enjoyed spending the whole day with her. Every time I bring friends to Brasil, I reach out to Dandara because it is always a fun day for everyone. Next time we go, we want to do the hiking and rocinha tours!

Incredible tour of Rio's Afro-Brazilian history
My experience with Dandara was amazing! She explained Rio's rich Afro-Brazilian history in the city centre and there were lots of opportunities to take incredible pictures. She answered all my questions and I left with a better understanding of Rio de Janeiro's socio-political history. I highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!
We had the most amazing experience with Dandara! She took us all the way up to see Christ the Redeemer and gave us a glimpse into Brazil’s history. It was amazing to be there with someone local, who LOVES Rio and wants to share that passion for this amazing city with those who come to visit. We will most certainly be back!

Outstanding experience in Rio!
Our time in Rio with our guide Dandara EXCEEDED expectations. We visited the Port, Little Africa, Providencia favela, Cristo Redentor, Tijuca forest, and Sugarloaf. We learned so much history and got a real understanding of the culture. Dandara speaks excellent English and answered all of our questions! We communicated via WhatsApp as needed between tours which was very helpful. We really felt like we were with family! So comfortable spending so much time together. And we always felt safe. The drivers she arranged were timely and professional. I highly recommend Janeiro Tour and Travel!!

Awesome guide and experience
If you are looking for the best tour guide in Rio de Janeiro then you'll find her at Janeiro Tours. Dandara is an allround amazing guide and person. She is knowledgeable, insightful and passionate about her job. I am a solo traveller and she took me along to her local Samba shool and to a street party - both experiences ill never forget and would never have had without her. We also did a tour of Little Africa where I learnt all about the important but little talked about Afro-Brazilain history - something Dandara is passionate about sharing. I learnt so much from her and had a lot of fun in the process. I 100% recommend her to anyone visiting Rio! 😀
