Everything about our recent trip to Rio de Janeiro for New Years was incredible. TGW did an excellent job at setting up all of our accommodations and activities. Our guides were very attentive and quickly responded to any questions we had. The parties and dinners they set up for us were all amazing experiences, I'm not sure if we would've been the same experience had we tried to seek out these things ourselves. They definitely made for an unforgettable experience and a great start to the year. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to travel to Rio or any of the other destinations they offer.

I'm female and often travel solo and make my own reservations, but for NYE in Rio and Carnival in Rio, I booked with TGW and I'm so glad I did. I had a great time for the NYE tour and highly recommend it. VIP treatment all the way, and friendly hosts who are readily available to answer all questions. Customer service is a biggie for me, and the TGW team goes above and beyond. As I'm staying in Rio for several months, I also appreciate the additional help and advice they've provided. It's like having a knowledgeable friend I can contact at any time. I've been so pleased with them, I used their service to book a short trip to Salvador, I'm looking forward to Carnival, and I'm sure I'll be booking another package with them in the future. Thanks so much for all your help and such a great experience, guys!

My Mom and I had an amazing trip to Rio for NYE. TGW went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and requests were fulfilled. They were always one step ahead. Art and his colleagues were absolutely amazing. Whatever inquiries we had, he had an answer for us, he arranged perfect events for us while in Rio and the guides he used for our private trips were experienced, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. We will absolutely use TGW again. Thank you!

My experience with TGW was seamless. Everything was organized and the customer service was great! I would definitely travel with this group In the future

Being able to experience Copacabana on New Year's Eve cannot be described in any words. You had to be there to witness it on the ground yourself. It was great that the staff gave a local feel of the VIP experience that cannot be matched.

Only suggestion is that day tours should be with an upgraded firm (even if more expensive) with fewer participants. Personal attention by TGW was excellent.

I had the best time ever. It was first class from start to finish. All the guides were great and they made sure everything ran smoothly. The parties were unbelievable. It’s hard to pick which party was great because all of them were great. I highly recommend TGW. Thanks TGW for the best experience ever. I’m definitely using TGW again.

Wow, what an awesome experience! Tours Gone Wild puts together such a complete and entertaining travel package. From booking flights, scheduling airport pickup and drop offs to including day time activities. I really appreciate their Guide to Rio. Though I had used their services for Carnival 2010, I still looked through the guide. Details like what to wear, what not to bring, and their 10 commandments when traveling to Brazil are invaluable.

Another thing I appreciate, is living the VIP life! If just for a few days, everyone should experience the elevated status you receive at various venues on the tour!

The staff is highly professional! Tour vans arrive on time. The safety of the group is vigilantly guarded, but with an ease that not a nuisance. I enjoyed the stories they had about previous visits to Brazil and nuggets of information regarding culture and customs. This made me acclimate myself to the country faster than learning on my own!

I highly recommend using Tours Gone Wild for you next party venture! You'll have the time of your life. Party on!

TGW did a fantastic job planning the parties, ground transportation and providing a good mix of hotel options. The parties were great especially with the exclusivity feel and VIP package. All parties were VIP and definitely a must. Worth the extra $$. The entire team (Art, Santiago and Mauro) were very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. At times We felt like we had our own personal body guard lol. Highly recommend TGW to others and future trips.

Art Perchemlian is amazing. This was my first trip to Brazil. I traveled with my best friend to celebrate her 60th birthday. From day one, Art provided exceptional customer service, was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had (and we had lots and lots of them), and made the entire experience go flawlessly. From the reservations to the flights to the transportation to and from the airport to the hotel to the tours and excursions, Art did a superb job in not only meeting but exceeding our wildest expectations.

All of this recommendations, from what hotel to stay at to excursions and tours to restaurants were perfectly suited to our tastes.
The tour guides, particularly ***, were personable, professional and added greatly to our enjoyment of each of our tours and excursions. If possible, I would request Manuela Andrade as your tour guide when in Rio.
Art could not have chosen a better hotel for our stay than the Windsor Excelsior. The location, food and amenities were perfect. The front desk staff, *** were very professional but at the same time warm and friendly. All four of these individuals were knowledgeable, pleasant and also very patient with us and our many questions. No matter what time of the day or night, each of these individuals always had a warm smile and pleasant, calm demeanor - even when the lobby was full of guests trying to check in or check out or making multiple requests in multiple languages for the staff's time and attention. Yet, none of these individuals every displayed anything but a calm, friendly and professional demeanor.

As two women traveling alone to a foreign country in which we did not speak the language, I appreciated that all of the staff either spoke English or found someone who did in response to our questions or requests. I also appreciated the security that the hotel posted at the front entrance to protect us from any individuals who did not have business in the hotel.

The housekeeping staff did a superb job. I am a former housekeeper and know how difficult their job is but also how much their excellent service contributes the the enjoyment of the hotel.

I really cannot recommend highly enough Art Perchemlian, TGW Travel Group, the Windsor Excelsior, Rio Line Turismo and Jeep Tour services.

if you use them for your travel to Brazil, particularly Rio, you will have as fantastic a time as we did. you really cannot go wrong using Art and his talented staff and vendors.

if you have any questions, tell Art to put you in touch with me and I will give you even more examples of why you shouldn't consider using anyone but Art and TGW Travel Group for your excursions to Brazil.
