“Eugenio is the BEST!”
Letty S – 24th january 2015
Eugenio is the best ! He was very considerate of our needs especially my physical handicap of using a cane. He made sure he offered his arm for support while we navigated the crowded tourist crowd and he got a wheelchair whenever/wherever he could. I called him my angel.
Eugenio is very knowledgeable and explained while he drove us around. He is also very personable , joked and laughed with us, even sharing personal thoughts /feelings,etc.
Everything went as planned and we all enjoyed him. He showed us the best part of Rio and the poor area as well.
Eugenio was always on time and made sure he stayed with us until we bid goodbye at the airport just before we entered the passenger only zone.
We highly recommend him for all that he is! Great guy! Our sincere thanks and appreciation for a job well done! “
“My visit to Rio”
John N – Henderson, Nevada – 18th january 2015
Thanks to your guide in Rio, it was the highlight of our trip at the end of our South American cruise. Rio started and ended with Eugenio Souza. He was like a father looking after his children, and at the same time very knowledgeable professional. From my point of view Eugenio took his role as a tour guide to another level. I don’t think you could have set us up with anyone who know the city better, and if we didn’t see all of Rio, we saw most of it. As for the Sisson’s,who was on the tour with us, he took care of them like they were his parents.
Again thank you!
“Excellent personalized tour of Rio”
Derek -Seattle, Washington – 5th december 2014
Eugenio was a fantastic guide, we were very lucky to have found him. We originally considered trying to see the city on our own because we hate typical organized tour groups, but are so glad that we decided to go with a personalized tour with Eugenio instead. With only a limited time available, we definitely saw and experienced more of Rio with Eugenio than we ever could have on our own, and he was highly recommended.
As a native of Rio who is very passionate about his city, Eugenio was the perfect guide. He picked us up from the hotel and drove us around to everything we wanted to see and more. He obviously knows all the ins and outs and all the right people and times to ensure that he and his guests can get into sites as easily and efficiently as possible. He’s very friendly, personable and provides great explanations and backgrounds of everything. We never once felt like this was a job to him or that we were just another set of tourists; instead he made us feel like welcome friends that he was showing around his native town with obvious pride and enjoyment.
If you want to see the best of Rio at a reasonable cost in a short period, Eugenio is your man. We recommend him unreservedly.
“Friendly, professional and passionate”
KerryFleming -Melbourne – 26th october 2014
We were very fortunate to have Eugenio as our guide for a full day tour of Rio in October. He picked us up and took us to all the major sites we wanted to see.He even took us to the ‘mosaic, tiled, staircase’ after I mentioned that I was interested in seeing it. He has a fantastic knowledge of Rio and is very interesting to listen to and very easy going. He even acted as a great photographer for us on our tour day, taking some great shots for us.
When we mentioned that we were interested in going to a football match at Maracana he helped us book tickets. He also recommended a favela tour for us that we did, which was great. Eugenio made several calls for us on his phone, helping us out. He also gave us information and contacts for tours and transfers to other places out of Rio. This was after the day of touring we did with him.
We recommend Eugenio very highly as an excellent guide. He was punctual, professional and very easy going. We learnt a great deal about Rio sights, culture, history and life from him. He went out of his way to make our tour of Rio interesting and memorable. He was also only to willing to help us with questions during our time in Rio.
Thank you Eugenio. You were an excellent guide and you helped make out time in Rio very special.

Highly experience and quality tour operator for not just Rio de Janeiro but all of Brazil!
Eugenio Souza and Rionative is a highly experience and quality tour operator for not just Rio de Janeiro but all of Brazil and have been providing Peruvian Secrets Ltd UK with all tourist services for many years. During this time we have never received a customer complaint, indeed we have had nothing but positive feedback. Eugenio’s attention to detail andcommitment to the client’s needs is by far the best service in Brazil, his knowledge of his country is extensive and his ability to present all information in a way that is fully understood makes for a unique and rewarding experience. By providing a high level of personal attention and private transfers, customer security is at its best, I have found his pricing is comparable toother companies but with such a high level of service he offers excellent value for money.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Rionative to anyone looking for a safe and rewarding holiday to Brazil.
Amazing Rio with Rionative

Thanks to Eugenio from Rionative, we had a amazing city tour of RIO! We did a one day tour of the usual touristy as well as the hidden gems of the city. Eugenio is very friendly, funny and great guy. He arranged for our airport pick up and was the only guide who patiently replied to all my emails before we got to Rio. We highly recommend him to everyone who wants to feel the city!!

Rionative – The Best Tour Operator In Rio!
Reviewed October 1, 2014
My husband and I recently relocated from the USA to São Paulo, Brasil, for a 2 year ex-pat assignment. Although we had visited Rio several times on our own, we decided to book a tour guide while visiting the city with our son and his girlfriend in May. Six weeks prior to our trip, based on excellent reviews on TRIPADVISOR, I made arrangements for a full day Rio tour with ANOTHER highly ranked, english speaking guide. Just 2 days before our scheduled tour, he couldn’t make it, so he arranged for Eugenio from Rionative to take his place. Honestly, I was somewhat skeptical… Eugenio was in our hotel lobby well before the designated meeting time (a pleasant surprise since most Brazilians are chronically late!). He was warm, friendly, and very informative. He had a great and efficient plan to see the highlights in Rio, yet he was also open for any suggestions. We thoroughly enjoyed the day and learned so much about the city (which he takes great pride in). Eugenio went above and beyond my expectations (and his english is excellent)! He truly made us feel like family. Our experience was so good that we booked another RIO tour with Eugenio when my friends from California visited last week. We had a blast! He also offered his help, suggestions, and expertise in other travel arrangements like hotel/airport transfers, travel itineraries, and accommodations. He is a wealth of information. Without a doubt, Eugenio is the #1 Rio tour guide. We highly recommend him!

Eugenio from Rionative is one of a kind when it comes to tours. We’ve travelled all over the world (31 countries so far) and we’ve never met a nicer, more down-to-earth person as Eugenio. He not only showed us the sights in and around Rio, but also took us to his home to eat and have a few drinks with for a Brazil World Cup game!! That was an experience that you don’t get everyday and one that we’ll remember for a long time. We would have no problems recommending him to any of our friends that visit Rio – in fact, we’d make sure to tell them to call him, as he knows everyone in the city, and everyone knows him! That’s a true sign of a great tour guide in our opinion. Thanks for a fantastic experience in Rio Eugenio. Miss you BUT see you soon 😉
