We had an outstanding private tour with Flavio that allowed to discover the wonderful city of Petropolis. Everyone stays and concentrates in Rio but this a great trip into the mountains outside the city and well worth your time.
This is the imperial city and Emporer Pedro 2 and Theresa ruled from here ! On the scenic drive (1 hr) up the mountains Flavio explained the rich history of Brazil and the imperial family. It is a very nice drive with many picturesque overlooks. After visiting the former casino (huge bavarian style building) Flavio led us personally through the imperial museum and explained all the important exhibits. So much better than just reading place cards.
We then saw the main cathedral de alcantara where the royal family is buried which is excellent gothic architecture and walked through the area seeing the different historic homes and parks. Petropolis is a city made for strolling.
A complete surprise and to me one of the best reasons to see Petropolis was to visit the Santos Dumont home and learn about his life- he was actually the father of aviation (not the Wright Brothers!) and its a fascinating tour through his home.
We had a buffet lunch at a very nice restaurant and saw the crystal palace -
Flavio was passionate about sharing his knowledge and life experiences in Brazil with us - this made the tour so much more enjoyable and the fact that it was a private tour made it more personable.
We give Flavio and the tour of Petropolis an enthusiastic recommendation. Its a special place and you will be really pleased you took the time to visit ...with Flavio !

We had a great private tour with Flavio. He is knowledgeable and outgoing and will tailor any tour to your interests. Flavio easily ranks as one of the best guides we ever had. I would not book anyone else.

Flavio was very professional and knowledgeable. He picked us up on time at the cruise ship pier and made recommendations about other things to see and do in Rio, even though we had not booked additional tours with him. His English is excellent, he is friendly and an experienced guide. Highly recommended.

My trip to Petropolis was awesome. I was pickup up at my hotel. The tour guide spoke perfect English. He was very knowledgeable. From Rio to Petropolis, he answered so many questions about Brazil. The city tour was great. No wait at the palace. He offered historic facts about everything. Several other destinations during the Petropolis tour. Very efficient. Back to the hotel in great time. Great day. Highly recommend.
