    The tour guide and the driver made this trip!
    This was a fabulous trip, especially as an introduction to Rio. Our guide, Joao, was first class giving informative explanations in English and Spanish and very happy to answer questions on a one to one basis. Our driver, Jorge, was really good and very reliable , picking us up punctually from every site we visited. These two guys made a very good tour into an excellent experience. Well done and thank you!

    Good sightseeing in Rio
    Great boat trip with lots of good information about the history of the city. Would highly recommend the sunset cruise option as it heightens the experience even more!!

    Rio day tour with great guide.
    This tour covers everything in Rio. We started at Christ the Redeemer spend 40 minutes there which is sufficient. A city tour the visited the cathedral and the marvelous tiled steps. We then went for the cable car at Sugar loaf Mountain where the views in all directions are worth seeing. Our guide Joao was exceptional as he had both English and Spanish people on the tour which flowed seamlessly. Joao was very informative and passionate about Rio and Brazil and gave us good insight into life and times of the city. A mention should go to Jorge who as driver did a great job. Highly recommended tour.

    Not a good experience
    Due to a "windy day" the boat trip was cancelled. We received this fantastic news when we were on the way... The plan B was not good at all. We made more than 300 kms back and forth to see two beaches. None of them was worth such a long trip. The first one, Prainhas do Atalaia, was small, jam packed with people, no shadow, prices too high. The second, Praia Grande, was indeed better, if you do surfing. Then we were taken to a restaurant in Praia dos Anjos, but we did not even see this beach, not at all. We were led to a restaurant which was too bad. Absolutely dreadful service + cold food "supposed to be warm". We could not even order drinks, believe it or not the waiters were deaf or blind... . The wrose service I have ever seen. If you are in Rio, avoid this trip and this company.

    Complete waste of money!
    I can't even call this service a trip. It was basically a very overpriced taxi. The guide was nice, that's the only plus side. We (me and my husband) were the only 2 ppl in our initial group who wanted to do the safari/boat tour. So we ended up waiting for a different guide who just drove us to the safari entrance and dropped us off there. We were told that after the safari and boat experience we should catch the park bus!! to get back, and someone will pick us up to take us back to our hotel. A driver was there which was fine but the car had no A/C, which was very uncomfortable. Everything that this tour offers can be done easily on your own, saving you a lot of money and time. It didn't make anything easier, on the contrary, it was a confusion and we ended up waiting a lot.

    Absolute waste of money and time.
    We were picked up at the hotel in the morning, so far so good, the guide was nice and there were other people in the van. The first obligatory stop was in an 'artisan' shop - the itinerary said nothing about that. We entered the park by van, but note that it's faster to go by yourself and take the bus. It took around 10 minutes to get to the point where the walking path starts - the guide told a few things about the park - and that's where the 'guided' trip ended. Then we walked the path (the one where you see the falls), but you do it all alone since there are too many people there for the guide to tell you anything. After the path, the guide announces that we have to go for lunch and wait over 2 hours (!) for some other guy to take us to the safari. The lunch is in a nice location so we patiently wait. Then a new guy comes an tells us to go with him. We drive for 3 minutes (the same route that the shuttle bus covers every 5 minutes), he drops us off at the safari, says that after we finish we can take the shuttle bus to the park entrance where someone else will pick us up, and drives away. So do everything alone to be in the end taken to the hotel by a car without AC. Honestly I don't know how this trip has so high reviews up to date, for me it is at this price it is simply a scam and I'll be trying to get a partial refund for today.

    Fantastic half-day experience
    I am going on a 2 week South American tour starting in Rio and knew that the tour I was going on, wasn't going to visit the places listed here and was pleased beyond imagined. The tram ride through the neighborhood was my favorite part to mix with the locals as they get on and off and see their daily life. Our guide was great and very informative. It was nicely paced and covered a good amount of neighborhoods including downtown. Highly recommend this and well worth the money!

    Fun Filled Day
    Really fun filled day! Got picked up at my hotel on time and each stop there was more than enough time to actually enjoy the scenery and all the culture offered. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Only nitpick is I wish we had gotten more history from our guide during each stop. Especially Christ the redeemer and sugarloaf mountain. It would have been nice to hear all the little details like how long it took to build, cost, how many workers, famous people visiting, type of material, etc. the bbq at Churrascaria Cruzeiro do Sul was good but the service was subpar. They’re extremely disorganized. There’s lot of other tour guides from TripAdvisor bringing their groups around the same time so expect a full house. Overall it was a great day. I really enjoyed the scenery and visiting all the sites!

    The drive is a ways away from Rio, but it is worth the trip. The small town of arriel do cabo is a nice change from the big city of Rio. After securing a boat you go to a private cove that is suitable for non swimmers. Light snorkeling can be had and a lazy afternoon can start. I would recommend taking the time to visit the town and the beach.

    Safest way for first timers to get to know Rio. Enjoyable!
    Worth it for first timers in Rio. Carla and Joel were very helpful. They were punctual and picked us up at the hotel. The guide spoke in Portuguese, Spanish and English. The guide was always ensuring that we were safe, having a good time and that we had sufficient time to take pictures around. The city's main sports are always overcrowded, maybe it would be good if the tour started at 7am, to be at the Christ at 8am when it opens the doors. But not sure if it would change much.

Overall, a very good and easy way to see the Christ the Redeemer monument and the Selarón Steps. Included a guided drive through the Santa Teresa neighborhood and a quick stop at the pyramid church too. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Copacabana, and our guide Talita was very good at maintaining the schedule, with some free time included. She gave the tour in English, Spanish and Portugese, so everyone was fully included. The transport van is very high quality, but the driver was way too fast on twisty and bumpy roads. Those of us in the back were launched completely out of our seats once, at which point we all yelled at the driver and he apologized and slowed down, so be sure to tell the driver to slow down the moment he begins taking the drive too quickly.

My favorite part of this tour was the cable car ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. I found it enjoyable to have a coffee, in the clouds, above Rio. Plus there was wildlife bouncing around the deck to watch and hear.

The narrative provided by our tour guide, Adriano, was entertaining and very educational. He did a splendid job translating for us English and Spanish attendees which, I believe, made us all get to know each other and enjoy the experience as a group! Wonderful excursions and lunch break!

I walked away feeling great about choosing this tour.

Celso was a great guide. If you take this tour, request him to be your guide. He was very knowledgeable and was always looking out for us. There was some traffic, so we started the tour late, however, that did not prevent us from having a good time. The weather was amazing, the views were out of this world, and the Redeemer is impressive in person. We had an amazing time!

Loved this excursion for many reasons, the first being our fantastic tour guide- Marco. Marco was so friendly and full of interesting tidbits of info. He was also at the ready to capture great pictures of my husband and myself. Christ the Redeemer was absolutely stunning and the Selarón steps were amazing. The van was new, comfortable and there was air conditioning! We also appreciated getting picked up and dropped off at our hotel (door to door service is so nice). This was a fantastic morning and a great value. I highly recommend this excursion and cannot write enough good words about Marco. Thank you!

A great tour! Priscylla was a wonderful, energetic tour guide with ounces of knowledge. She was accommodating and so friendly. The tour was great and timed really well. I didn’t have long in Rio so it was the perfect way to see the sights with limited time. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Priscylla!

Excellent place to visit. Lots of interesting stories of the stairs of Celeron. Lots of locals as well as tourists. In Rio you must see Christ the Redeemer. The view is quite amazing as you see all of Rio from above there. You will be quite lucky if no clouds cover the Redeemer.
