Kenneth Hill said :

My wife and I recently spent 11 days in Rio de Janeiro. All the sights were beautiful as expected, but the thing that was best of all was the friendliness of the people. None more so than our licensed tour guide Diana Persi, with whom we went to Santa Teresa, Sugar Loaf etc. She is honest, experienced, a safe driver, speaks English ,French, Spanish ,punctual and nothing is too much trouble for her. A laugh is never far away when you are in her company. So if you need a guide when in Rio and the surrounding countryside I could highly recommend dianatoursinrio. Also if you need any fresh fish- no problem.....she knows all the fishermen!.

Thank your Kenneth -

CHRIST REDEEMER AND NITERÓI WITH ISIORENE BERNARDINO AND HER FAMILY

The Statue of Christ the Redeemer is located on top of Corcovado Mountain at a hight of 710 meters and it is the most visited touristic attraction in Rio de Janeiro , the Statue was built in 1931 and it is the image of the carioca faith

Isiorene and her Family enjoyed a lot our tour

Home to hundreds of species of plants and wildlife, found only in the Atlantic Rainforest, this is Rio's urban forest replanted by man and spread by natural ecological development, which covers some 3,200 hectares. Its historical attractions and enchanting nooks are well worth a leisurely visit. Just a short drive from the financial center downtown, the North Zone and Rio's smart beach districts, its attractions include the Cascatinha Waterfallll, the Mayrink Veiga Chapel all favorite destinations for weekend family outings.The Tijuca Forest was reforested in the middle of the 19 Century after years of intense deforesting and planting (specially coffee plantations).The replanting was a pioneer initiative in all Latin America.

This is one of the fountain that you can find inside the park and can drink water of good quality that comes from the waterfalls

The Tijuca Forest it´s one of the largest Urban National Parks in the world with many species of plants and trees and wildlife

The charming litlle Mayrink Veiga Chapel is known by the brazilian´s Rio society for the sophisticated weddings and it is situated inside the Park

Á Mineira is one of the best Restaurants of all you eat that we have in Niterói , there you can find food from the South of Brazil and has all kinds of different foods for the most discerning palates and they loved to eat there
