I highly recommend Cristina as a local friend. I scheduled
a full day with Cristina that included a visit to Tijuca
National Park, the Cristo monument, and the artsy
neighborhood of Santa Teresa. Cristina was wonderful! She
was friendly, thoughtful, organized, flexible, offered
several options for things to do, and was knowledgeable
about her city and its cultural activities. She makes sure
to ask you what your preferences and interests are. She is
easy to communicate with and she has a car, so getting
around Rio is easy and comfortable. She later sent me a
follow up message with suggested walking routes and other
helpful tips and information. If you want an excellent
local friend, book Cristina!
