Our local specialist was Sara. She took the time to understand what we like to do and see on holiday. She then put together an amazing 2 week itinerary in and around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The guides she choose were outstanding especially Alberto. We had a special request that had never been requested before but she was able to set up the event that day brilliantly. We wuld highly recommend Sara as a local specialist for Brazil and especially Rio.

This was an amazing experience that was new to Sara and the team at Kimkim. She was able to arrange a day with an extraordinary seamstress.

Carnival is a special event in Rio. We got not only a superb tour but also a samba demo and an understanding of one of the most iconic events of Rio.
