Jacque was amazing! She was very knowledgeable and made us feel safe and excited to see the sites. We highly recommend her!!

Great show, colourful and dynamic show giving an overview of the different types of music and dance from different areas of Brazil - a great introduction. They get you to stand and learn a bit of local dance for a bit as a warmer. And then an explosion of sound, light, colour and fun. Worth the visit - but get your direct tickets from their web and save money.

We had an amazing 1/2 day tour with Martin, a knowledgeable and well known guide in the area. We were never afraid, and had our 18 year old granddaughter with us. It’s quite a strenuous tour with lots of stairs up and down. If you have bad knees, better pass on this one.

We booked the private tour and we highly recommend it. You can travel at your own pace and don't have to wait around for the group. Monica was an excellent guide and it was very easy to chat one-on-one with her. She made excellent coordination with the driver who was always at the designated meeting point and ready to take us to the next spot on the itinerary. We were able to select the specific combination of places to visit.

The guide (Lavinia) was amazing, she knew all ther is to know about futbol, stadiums, clubs, etc. really the highlight of my time in Rio. She was very thoughtful, and ass we had some time to spare, she took me to a beautiful view point so to better understand Rio’s history and reality. 100% recomended.

We were picked up in a battered car that had a broken chair back inside. Not a good start. We crammed into the car to go to the restaurant for dinner. After complaining about the broken seat, we were given a better car for the next leg of our tour. We booked a salsa dancing lesson - so expected to be escorted into in a room with a dance floor and an instructor to show us the ropes. What we actually got was standing in front of our chairs in the theatre and doing some moves, shown by a man on the stage. The show was overlong, very loud and the theatre very dingy. Disappointed.

Marvelous City! Santa Teresa, Selaron steps, Churrascaria lunch, Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain, and dirves along Ipanema, Copacabana, and Leblon beaches. What an incredible city ... what an ncredible day!

Well priced tour. Excellent tour guide named Gustavo. Tour included all entry tickets, cable car and full delicious lunch.Christ the Redeemer is a must see to experience the religious beliefs of the statue. A bit overcrowded so it's best to go early. Sugar loaf mountain has spectacular sights of Rio ie. Copacabana beach ipanema etc.the Celeron steps are a must and the history of Mr Celeron is intriguing. Areas were fairly safe and lots of police presence. Americanos are supermarkets wher tbings are really reasonably priced. Overall good xperience

I booked a day tour to see all the highlights of Rio in just one day. Pick up at the hotel, max 14 persons in mini van with airco. Even in fall is it 35 C degrees. Highlight were Christ Redentor, Sugar load mountain, São Bento cathedral, soccer Maracanã stadion, favela, mosaic stairs Escadaria Selarón. Our tour guide Kiko was really great and very helpful with making pictures. Roberto the driver turned out to be a great salsa dancer ;-). We had lunch at a typical Brazilian steakhouse in Ipanema Beach. On the other side On the other side of the street was a cute local market with nice products made by artists. I bought a lot of souvenirs here. In short, a perfect day with a drop off at my hotel. I would recommend it to everybody to see Rio this way.

This tour shows you the highlights of Rio de Janeiro. The tour leader and bus driver are really friendly and from my experience it is not easy to find a tour leader that really speaks and understands english and spanish in Rio. So this was a plus point for this tour leader. The sites we visited were also very well chosen and gives you the most important highlights of Rio for the fee of this tour. Scenic routes compliments your visit to Rio and photo oportunities are available most of the tour. I would sure recommend this city tour to all who wants to get to know Rio in a short visit.

No one told us we needed a yellow fever shot for this tour. We cancelled because it was too risky to go without the shot and we were highly advised by the concierge of our hotel and locals that we knew not to go. Still waiting for our refund from the Tour Company. I hope they do the right thing by refunding our money. If so, I will update this review so it’s not so unfavorable.

we love visiting and exploring. philip was the best tour guide we have had in a long time. he spoke very clear english and was very friendly with all the people in the tour group. he gave us some good hints on where to go and where to be safe. we heard alot about brazil and crime, but he made us feel safe as tourists and told us what to expect at tourist places. thank you.

We used Blumar Turismo through Trailfinders and our guide, Eugenio, was great! His English was excellent, he was knowledgable and has a great sense of humour-all of this made our trip so enjoyable and memorable. We did the trip up to Christ the Redeemer and the cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain with lunch at a Degustare (typical Brazilian where various meats or fish are brought to you table) with a view of Sugar Loaf. When our helicopter flight was delayed Eugenio took us to places in the city which made us feel part of the Rio scene rather than tourists! He gave us good advice about what to do and where to go on our own- we went to the Fayre Hippie, a Sunday market in Ipanema which was great. The helicopter flight when we did it was amazing- definitely book the one which flies round Christ the Redeemer- fantastic! Eugenio even managed to negotiate an upgrade for us as we had booked a private 7 minute trip just for the two of us along the beaches but another couple wanted to do the 12 minute trip around the Redeemer so we agreed to share their flight for no extra cost! Superb! One of the most memorable moments of our lives! We met Philipe , Eugenio's son, who is also a Blumar Guide who was there for us and another great person to ensure you get the most out of your trip. Thank you, Eugenio, for making our time in Rio so special! Linda and Steve from England

Had a great trip. Good and friendly tour gide. The guide knew good english, and (Brazilian) Portuguese. All thanks goes to Camila Feher (tour guide)

We doubted at first to take the full day tour as I was still recovering from an ankle fracture and was walking with an elbow crutch. However, it was a very good decision anyway. Our tour guide Carla & driver Mauricio were excellent and very nice & gave all the necessary attention to make sure I would take elevators where these were available. We visited the Sugar Loaf mountain.. awesome experience & beautiful views. Then we went for the beaches Ipanema & Copacabana, visited a small souvenir shop and had a nice all-you-can-eat buffet-lunch. Subsequently, we went to visit the Carnaval Dome, Maracanã stadium and the old cathedral Lady of Mount Carmel with a different structure than you will see in other cathedrals. Very beautiful. After that we went for a short stop at one of the favelas to visit the Escadas of Selaron. Last but not the least we went for the Christ Redeemer ..so impressive and a full around view of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Our tour guide Carla was very good in explaining the history of the places we were visiting.
