Testimonials
Nestor - we are finally back from our wonderful trip that included your beautiful city of Rio. We wanted to express our heartfelt appreciation for the thorough and complete tour that you gave of of the city's highlights including Christ the Redeamer and Sugerloaf. It was your personal insights that made everything stand out all the more and helped us understand Brazil and Rio better. Where can we help "spread the word" about your wonderful tour services?
Thanks again...

My wife and I just returned from 8 days in Rio where we took 18 of our college students for a travel study program during spring break (USA). For the parts of our trip not arranged by our corporate hosts, we contracted with Nestor Silva (RioExpert.com) to be our tour guide. We found him to be extremely reliable and trustworthy from the moment he picked us up from the airport until the time we left 8 days later. Because we wanted our students to experience Rio beyond our business meetings and the beach, we asked Nestor to set up different programs - sometimes on short notice. He delivered each time as promised and the two of them and the drivers stayed with us and watched over us all the time wherever we went including the Sambadrome time we watched the champions parade in the until 5 a.m. And when there were slight problems that arose, he was always ready to step in to help out. I'd certainly recommend him for groups large and small.

Nestor,
Hope this email finds you in good health and that business is keeping you busy. Once again thanks for your help and tours while in Rio. Magrit (tour guide) and Marcio (driver) were wonderful and we could have not asked for more...
... and if I know of someone looking for a tour guide in Rio, I will make sure to highly recommend your services.

Dear Nestor
Wanted to thank you again for a wonderful day in Rio. Your services were excellent and you will certainly be my recommendation for clients in the future.
We enjoyed the Brazilian restaurant you recommended as well as the time in Ipanema and walking the beaches.
You will be hearing from me

Dear Nestor,
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Petropolis and Rio. Your guide was wonderful and did a great job for us. Flavio is a very good driver - careful and courteous. Given the opportunity, we will certainly recommend your services to anyone who may be journeying to Rio.
Perhaps we may meet in the near future. In the interim, we wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
Best regards,

Dear Nestor (Rio Expert),
Thank you for such warm and professional welcome at the airport,
and the amazing tours at Rio de Janeiro, Itacoatiara, Buzios and all other wonderful beaches.
We will never forget Rio's busy days and great nightlife, its breathtaking beaches, the adventurous excursions,
and how much we enjoyed the sightseeing, they did became more awesome and fun with all the information you provided, just so you know, for me it felt like was my first time in Rio.
Sincerely,
Leda Montenegro.
"Nestor, many thanks for a memorable day in Rio. What I liked the most were the historical anecdotes, your flexibility to meet my specific interests and your enthusiasm for your hometown which is contagious! And, oh yes, how could I forget your outstanding commitment to delight your clients: I don't know many friends, let alone tour guides, who would stand an hour in the scorching Brazilian sun to get tickets for an attraction. I'm definitely coming back for more Brazilian joie de vivre...and maybe this time you could also organize a trip to the north of your beautiful country".

... if I hear of any one going to Rio I will certainly give them your information. You can also have people call us if they want to ask about our experience. We will tell them that you all were wonderful and great and if we ever come back (I would love to ) we will hire you all. Also if you are ever in NYC you can come to philly and visit us. We went to "Fogo do Chao" (Restaurant) in Philadelphia and talked about Rio the entire time. They did not have the melted cheese and the meat wasn't as good. It was also very expensive compared to Brazil. I loved your country and hope that I can come back someday. Please keep in touch, good luck with the company, we miss you all. I think about Brazil alot.

Dearest Nestor,
Words could hardly describe the absolute privilege we have felt while working with you. Your professionalism and can-do attitude is unsurpassed among the people we have run into in the past. The past couple of days we really got to rest easy as we knew you had everything under control!!
We are glad that we were able to built a great relationship with you and your company. We plan on visiting again and we hope to see your smiling face as we leave the airport! We will miss you!

Nestor was the most fabulous tour guide we've ever had and we have been to many countries with many guides. It was hard to figure out what was more exciting - the sites or Nestor!
I would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to
Brazil!
