Rio de Janeiro done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would book with them again.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Solid operator.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.
