"Patty is the best! I had 7 wonderful hours with her. She took care of me and made me feel like a visiting friend more than a customer. I recommended her to all my friends. She is the first familiar face you want to see when you arrive to Rio once you leave hotel for a tour."

"We had a group of 5 couples for my husband’s 50th birthday trip. Patty was an exceptional guide and took care of every fine detail to ensure that we all had an amazing experience. She treated us like family. We were greeted by her warm smile upon arrival as she took care of our airport transfers."
Sue, UK
"Fabulous day in Rio with Patricia from Rio Smiles. From being met at the Port at 8 am we had a full day experience of Rio. The train through the National Park Tijaca to reach the truly awesome marble statue of Christ the Redeemer, we were led to the best photo spots and Patricia was on hand to take our photo memories."
Jannah, USA
"My family and I LOVED Patty. My parents used her services once and then re-hired her on a second trip. She was great at managing our large group (15ppl) and really made us feel like locals. We went on several excursions with her: the night life tour, the favela walking tour, and a few other offerings. "
