My wife & I are from Singapore & we booked Joerg from OiRio to drive us around for a 2 day tour on the 21st & 22nd May, 2013. Joerg's communication was really fast, & even though we booked him without much notice, he did his best to fit us in. He took us to all the interesting sites & some really 'unique' places that we never saw in any guide books. He also took us into the favela's & even the cable car that crosses a huge favela of over 200,000 inhabitants that the Government built to make the lives of the people living there more comfortable. He's German, but also speaks fluent Portugese, English, Spanish & probably some more languages, & as he's married to a Brazilian he knows & understands Rio de Janeiro & the culture very well. He's a very nice guy & has such an interesting story to tell about his home & life in Rio, but we won't tell you here - book him & hear it from him yourself. His car is also very special - the side mirrors & other parts of the car have been vandalized, so it's no point in fixing them - they just get duck taped back on! This also added to the fun & 'flavor' of our tour. We would really like to thank Joerg for going out of his way to show us not just the famous tourist sites, but also the 'multi-faceted' other sides of Rio de Janeiro that are also wonderful & I think if you want to see this side of Rio, you need to book a guide like Joerg, who doesn't mind going out of his way, taking the time to take you to the 'exotic' places.
I am happy to know that you like Rio. I hope you will come back soon.
