Why travel with us

Why travellers choose AuthenticBrazilTravel

Brazil has become our home, and as a private Brazil travel agency and tour operator, we plan every trip ourselves, never resold, so we can offer you the best experiences for the best price. Together we find the destinations that fit you, then craft a private, tailor-made journey around the way you want to travel.

From the Amazon rainforest in the north to the beaches of Florianópolis in the south, we handle everything: transfers, hand-picked accommodations and privately guided tours, with the best English-speaking guides Brazil has to offer.

In our guests’ words

What travelling with us was actually like

  • My wife and I have always been fascinated by Brazil, but we hadn’t dared to organize the trip ourselves. Your Brazil Guide planned the entire trip for us, even including some destinations we hadn’t been to before. The trip was superbly organized, the guides were fantastic, the accommodations were lovely, and the transfers were punctual. Thanks to the wonderful guides and their helpful tips, we always felt safe and had the opportunity to discover many new things.
