Bruno planned a great itinerary for us. He was very responsive to my messages and was able to accommodate all of our requests for our itinerary. He checked on us throughout the trip to ensure we were having a great time (and we did!).

Our tour guide in Rio, Marcelo, was incredible. He was so knowledgeable about the city, made sure we saw everything we wanted to see, and was so friendly. The weather on our first day was suboptimal to see Christ the Redeemer so Marcelo and Bruno worked hard to move our ticket to the following day. I’m not sure if you can request a guide or not, but Marcelo was top notch.

Our guide for the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, Leandro, was also great. I don’t know how he manages to walk 6 miles almost every day around the falls and still love his job, but he does.

A word of caution- double check ticket prices prior to booking an activity through your guide. We, unfortunately, were scammed $20 USD per person by our final tour guide for a boat ride on the Brazilian side of the falls. He told us the cost was $90 per person when it was actually $70 per person. Bruno, again, was very responsive to the situation. We were refunded $40 by KimKim for the issue quickly.

I definitely recommend using Bruno for your trip to Brazil!

The room was tiny but for the most part clean. The bathroom had some mold in the shower area. The staff was very friendly. We loved having dinner at the pool bar.

Unfortunately our tour guide overcharged us for the boat tour. We were told it cost $90 USD per person when in reality it cost $70 USD per person. The situation was handled promptly by Bruno and KimKim.
