"Madson!! Thank you so much for a fabulous day exploring Rio! The only thing that could have made it better would have been if we were staying there for several more days! I feel like we only began to see the city! Your tour was so fun and a great introduction to a great city! Please contact me if someone requests a personal recommendation. Best regards."

"Hello Madson (or should I say Mad-Son ?) We came back home from our trip a week ago, and only now we are back to our regular routine. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful time that we spent with you in Rio. All four of us immensely enjoyed the tours that you arranged for us, and consider our visit to Rio one of the highlights of our trip. We still remember some of the jokes and the laughs that we shared. Your command of the English language and your knowledge of Brazil in general and Rio in particular made our relatively short visit rich, informative and fun."

Jason, New York.
"Hey Madson, I wanted to let you know my friends and I had an amazing time in Brazil. I can’t thank you enough for all of your help. If there is anything we can do to help you out in the future, just let me know. Thanks again for everything."

Janie Shendelman. Toronto, Canada.
"We arrived home from our cruise last Monday. What a fabulous trip we had. 2 memerable days stand out from all the rest. That was the 2 days we spent with you in Rio. Warren and I will never forget how warm, friendly and very funny you were with us, Elaine and Len. I don’t know if you have heard from Len but I felt I had to write you and thank you for a most memerable trip to Rio. I have already given your card to my travel agent friend, who will refer you to clients. I have pictures of you and the beautiful girls of Brazil. Anyways, take care of yourself and Thanks again."

Brad and Vicki Wertman, USA.
"Dear Madson, We are missing the heat of Brazil and the food and the music and the most wonderful tour guide! Thanks, again, for the wonderful tour guide services. We really did enjoy Rio and meeting you!! Take care."

John, USA.
"Madsen, Returned home safely, wanted to thank you again for a great time in Rio. What is the best way to provide a testament to your excelent services? When we transferred from our ship in Valparaiso to Santigo we shared a van with a couple from England. It seems they were your clients on the 2 days before us. I guess they had wanted Tuesday as well, but I had already arranged. Its a small world."

Judy Kempf, USA.
"Thank you for the exceptional Rio visit. You showed the boys and me things we never would have had the hance to see without your tour. I will be talking with my travel agent and most certainly be recommending your services. Thanks so much for the wonderful visit."

"Madson, Marilyn, Webb, Kathy and I all had a fantastic time with you in Rio. We will definitely recommend you as THE private tourguide in Rio. We were the first in line on Christmas Day for Sugar Loaf and really enjoyed that visit. We are all back to work at home with great memories of you, Rio and the rest of our trip. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and that you have a Happy New Year! Ed"

"Hi, Madson, Just wanted to send these few photographs with you in them. We had a wonderful time in Rio! You’re a great tour guide!! Let me know if there’s anything I can do for you here in the U.S., and of course, if you’re coming to New York, let me know when. All the best."

Dr Jedda McDonogh and Dr Jenny Wilsher, Australia.
"Dear Madson, We have returned to Melbourne and carry with us the most wonderful memories of our time with you in Rio. We are so glad that we arranged you for our guide since it made our stay in Rio perfect and we were thrilled with your attentive care, ensuring that we saw the best the city had to offer. I hope you have enjoyed learning a few more Aussie words and hope you like the photos we took of you. Many, many thanks for cheerfully complying with our rather odd requests to see Pet Shops, our dogs love their new outfits !! I am at this moment listening to the “surprise” you had for us and it is evoking such lovely memories I could cry. Madson, thank you so much, we have no hesitation at all in recommending your services to other travellers from all walks of life. Best wishes from us for your future endeavours and keep on making people smile and have fun, it is your gift to Rio! Warm regards."
