we advise visitors to check the integrity and safety standards of any travel tour agency or guide, before embarking on a journey or contracting for services - In the website of the ministry of tourism, a menu can be found in which tour guides and agencies can be found, to avoid any risk of hiring someone that is not properly registered.

A great resource for finding licensed tour guides that operate in Rio is tour guides - By just selecting the city of Rio and a guide, one's tour can get started as soon as possible with all the safety of a registered guide.

a valuable resource for travel agencies is ABAV, the brazilian association of travel agencies, with regular updates, workshops and useful information about tourism in Rio.
