Renata is absolutely amazing! Do yourself a favor and book her. She’s so fun, funny, knowledgeable, and charismatic! We booked her for our first day in Rio, she took us all around, and took some great pics of us!!!! Check out my IG for proof - it’s my first and last name. I travel a lot and have booked a lot of tour guides and Renata was on of my favorites, which made Rio one of my favorite destinations. You will NOT regret booking Renata, trust me!!

I am big on capturing moments especially while traveling. It's hard to really soak in the moment and everything around you when you're busy holding a camera. Having Renata take our photos around a couple of the biggest attractions around Rio was the best decision we made. Not only is Renata a great photographer, she is extremely knowledgeable about the city itself and it never came off boring. She never made us feel pressured to take photos or pose in certain ways, everything was extremely natural. We made it to Christ the Redeemer when there was hardly anyone up there yet which seemed unreal since it's such an iconic landmark. We loved her so much we asked her is we could do the Santa Teresa tour with her a couple of days later! Renata's professionalism and hustle in making sure things were moving smoothly for us was something I really appreciated since it showed me she really wanted us to have an awesome day. Please do not hesitate to take one of Renata's tours when you're in Rio, I myself will definitely contact her again whenever I'm back in Brazil.

I visited Rio for the first time and wanted to tour the city. Renata private tour was simply perfection. She is very knowledgeable about different part of the city. She is patient, kind, and professional throughout the entire tour. She will go above and beyond to ensure you enjoy your tour. She took me to the market and buy me fruits, clothes, and whatever i wanted. If you are going to Brazil book RENATA PRIVATE TOUR you will not be disappointed.

Renata is an amazing tour guide and photographer! Highly recommend for everyone to use Renata if you are travelling to Brazil! She captured some amazing photographic memories which will last a life time! She is very professional and has a warm welcoming personality. Thank you again for all the recommendations and showing us an amazing time!

Reneta is truly amazing she knows her craft very well and the ins and outs of taking the best photos with breathtaking backdrop panoramic scenery views of Rio de Janeiro. I can't be more happier with the photos that she took and provided to me very quickly. She has amazing knowledge pretty much about everything in Rio de Janeiro and in Brazil which was very informative during the tour. As I said before she will get you in early and she will take the best pictures when there are no crowds around which will make your photos look like you're on a private tour. Do yourself a favor when you're in real book a tour with Reneta because when you look back at your photos you'll just remember your trip being completely amazing. Thank you once again for the beautiful photos and amazing tour of your country.

There are not enough Google stars for the all day tour with Renata, especially if you want amazing photos of Rio. Bring your walking shoes and listen to your guide and you will accomplish/learn more in one day than you ever could by yourself. Renata is knowledgeable, charming, and eager to make sure you have an amazing time in Rio. Renata agreed to meet with us on short notice, and met us bright and early right outside where we were staying. Too many good things to list. Just take the tour and be glad you did!

I am entirely satisfied with our 8-hr guided photography tour with Renata, Rio Photo Guide. She was excellent! My friend and I had a fantastic time, it was very well organized, easy to arrange, we felt safe at all times (a priority of hers), and she knew all of the great spots. We had a wonderful time seeing Christ the Redeemer before the lines got out of control, other memorable viewpoints like Dona Marta, Santa Teresa, etc. I would highly recommend Renata. I think it was a terrific value and I have no suggestions for improvement. Comfortable car, very pleasant personality, and excellent photos taken of my friend and I. Thank you!

My significant other and I visited Rio de Janeiro recently. We booked several group tours yet were disappointed with the few photographs we managed to snap at the Corcovado attraction. The day before our departure from Brazil, we decided to find another tour service and retake the Christ redeemer tour in the hopes it would be less crowded and manage a decent photo. We came across Rio Photo Guide which offered private individual tours with professional photography included. I had the pleasure of communicating with Renata @ Rio Photo Guide.I expressed to Renata that my fiance and I recently got engaged in Rio and the idea of professional photography was quite appealing. Renata accommodated us despite our last minute requests. She arrived on time to pick us up from the hotel in her impeccably clean vehicle. Not only was she knowledgeable about the specific attractions such as Christ the Redeemer and Santa Teresa, she discussed the Brazilian culture, history, location, food, mannerisms throughout the entire tour-we learned about Brazil far more than our prior group tours combined. She knew the best locations/angles at the attractions to capture amazing shots. Despite the congestion, Renata managed to make every desired photograph possible. Did I mention her incredible sense of humor:) ? We enjoyed every moment of the tour and our time spent with the wonderful Renata. I truly wish we came across Rio Photo guide sooner as I would have loved to take additional tours from Renata. For the tour length, prompt accommodation, extensive knowledge of attractions, amazing local art souvenir treasure shops, and professional photography, the cost is a bargain. Renata is a traveler herself and we will make sure to remain in touch for future tours and photography. -Thank you and Obrigada Renata Maya & Tomek-USA

Renata is a Living demonstration of why one should never go to a place like Rio without the benefit of a guide. The city is packed full of hidden gems and Renata knows them all. Completely professional. Completely punctual. Fluent in multiple languages. I have personally never had a better tour guide in my life. She absolutely must be a part of your discovery of this magnificent city.

I am so glad I did this!! Renata is not only a fantastic photographer, she is very knowledgeable about the history of Rio de Janeiro and Brasil and definitely knows her way around the excursions! She is punctual, friendly and will make you feel comfortable from the moment she picks you up! This tour is the perfect way to hit the highly popular and crowded touristic spots like Cristo and Pão de Azúcar, and get some beautiful pictures while you’re at it! I highly recommend this to anyone, but especially to solo travelers like myself as it will make getting through those busy locations smooth sailing!

We are so glad to experience Christ Redeemer statue, Mirante Dona and Sugar Loaf with Renata. She is excellent tour guide and amazing photographer. She was very patient with my 9 years old daughter. Renata is proficient in English, Spanish and of course, Portugese. Would highly recommend her for any Rio de Janeiro tour trip. Our experience on Christ the Redeemer with Renata surpasses other 3 tour guides we had. Renata was the best.
