Amazing trip to discover Brazil. Bruno was extremely helpful during the trip to accommodate last minute requests. We especially loved our guide Ed in Iguazú Falls.

For the Sao Paulo part, it wouldn't have been a pleasant trip without Alex who was proud of his city and because of his enthusiam, consideration and willingness to go the extra mile, we came to love this city as well. In Iguara Falls, Mario was professional, could sing and whistle very well in addition to being a good photographer. When it came to Rio, Marcello provided a balanced view of the great city, its beaches, beauty beyond words, and its struggling residents.
We finished our journal without any disappointment and would be happy to utilize Bruno's services again and recommend it to friends.

First time booking with Kim Kim and it went really well. Family of 5, traveling with 3 teens (18, 16, 14.). Bruno was very responsive from the beginning and throughout the trip. Transfers, activities, everything was seamless. We really enjoyed our guides- Hannah in Rio de Janeiro, Edison in Foz do Iguaçu and Antonio at Tupana Lodge. Bruno answered all my questions promptly before and during the trip. The guides were helpful in their respective cities. I think I would have liked maybe a step up in accommodations but I’m also not sure the price difference, etc. All our accommodations were nice but not fancy. And I definitely wasn’t fully prepared for what we were getting into in the Amazon. It was a memorable experience but would not be for everyone! Overall a wonderful family trip through Brazil!

A bit run down but overall clean. We saw flight crew checking in so must be a regular spot. For a quick stopover spot to get to Amazon it was fine. We got stuck in Manaus and the airport sent us to another hotel that was really worn down and gross so maybe the hotel standards in Manaus are just poor?

Our recent trip to Brazil was truly unforgettable, thanks to the incredible itinerary crafted for us. From the moment we landed in Rio de Janeiro to our breathtaking days at Iguazu Falls, everything was flawlessly organized.

The hotels were amazing – comfortable, well-located, and with fantastic service. Our drivers were always punctual, friendly, and professional, making every transfer smooth and stress-free. The activities were phenomenal: from iconic sights like Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain to the awe-inspiring power of the Iguazu Falls, every experience exceeded our expectations.

As a family, we felt safe, well cared for, and completely immersed in the beauty and culture of Brazil. We can’t thank you enough for making this dream trip so special. Highly recommended!

Hotel Review
Arena Leme Hotel
Rio de Janeiro

We enjoyed our stay at Arena Leme Hotel. All staff were lovely and helpful, from the front desk to the restaurant and cafe, as well as cleaning staff. Breakfast was very good. We were tired upon our arrival and were so glad to be able to just go downstairs to the dining room and have a lovely dinner- vegetarian paella was yummy.

We had an incredible time in Brazil thanks to Bruno's excellent planning. This was a last minute trip but Bruno absolutely pulled it out of the bag to ensure we had an amazing time in Rio with our guide Marcelo and in Iguazu Falls with our guide Edson. Both guides went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time and Bruno kept us updated with details along the way. Rio and Iguazu were beyond expectation and we're so grateful for the experience. Thank you to the whole team for the trip of a lifetime!

A few days ago we (me and my husband) returned from a travel throughout the Brasil. Bruno gave me perfect itinerary and did all booking of the hotels, transfers and flights during our 10 days trip. We have bad luck with canceling of one of the flights, but thanks to Brino’s quick response we were able to get to the next one on the same day. All transfers ran smoothly. As for local guides, Luis in Rio was excellent, very knowledgeable about the history of Rio and Brasil. Addition to all ‘must see’ in Rio, he showed us a lot of hidden gems od Rio. It was like a walking with some celebrity, because he is/was a professor to almost all other guides we met, so he was warmly greeted everywhere. Edson in Foz do Iguacu was also very knowledgeable about the nature and wildlife in the area of these beautiful waterfalls. And at the end Amazonia, which was amazing. Tupana lodge, regarding which I was a little bit sceptic, turned out to be everything that Bruno promised, and Carlos, our guide there, true nature lover, explained us a lot about birds, other animals, forests and native people.
All in all, beautiful experience. Warm ‘thank you’ to Bruno and to all people we met throughout our trip, Natasa
