If you ever want a wonderful historical experience of the new world (Brasil), I highly recommend Lisa's Afro-Brazilian tour. She not only takes you to the important historical sites to the founding of Rio, she gives you the back story of the political situation of the time. In addition, she interweaves the important Afro-Brazilians and the people who help make... More

Thanks to Lisa for the express tour starting from Copacabana to Corcovado, Selarón Stairs Lapa, Cathedral and Sugar Loaf (at sunset! and a rising red moon) on Feb 26th. And Lisa added historic and contemporary info as the minibus was carrying us between each of these four locations. Efficient, good spirit and without any stress at all. All in all... More

We really enjoyed using Lisa Rio Tours during our visit to Rio. We got private tours that afforded us the flexibility to see many sites at our own pace. Both of our guides were knowledgeable, and we definitely maximized our time by getting their insider tips. Do not hesitate to book their services.

Lisa was a great tour guide. She took us around Brazil and provided us with amazing facts about the city, facts that we would not have otherwise gotten. She knew a lot about Brazilian history and culture and even contemporary Brazil. The Afro-Brazilian tour was excellent! I would highly recommend Lisa if you want an amazing experience around Brazil.

I would highly recommend Lisa as a guide. I contacted her for the first time the afternoon before I wanted to do the tour and she responded very promptly. Luckily the tour she had arranged for two other German tourists the next day was exactly the one I wanted - Colonial Rio and Santa Teresa. Lisa came and collected me... More
