I had an amazing sightseeing experience in Rio! 🌴 The city itself is breathtaking, but what truly made the trip unforgettable were my guides. A huge thank you to Peter, and also to his wonderful colleagues Waldemar and Gisela, who were incredibly professional, kind, and attentive throughout the tour. Their knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm company turned every stop into a special moment. I left Rio not only with great memories of the city, but also with deep appreciation for this fantastic team. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The best way to see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain in one go! Peter, our guide, was incredibly friendly and super knowledgeable (and spoke perfect English!) So much fun and such great views - if I could rate it more than 5 stars I would. We defenitly recommend it for anyone wanting to see the beautiful views of Rio De Janeiro!!

We really enjoyed the day. Well organised and executed. We saw all the main sites and more. The driver Paulo was a good driver and Peter the tour guide spoke excellent English and was knowledgeable on all sorts of topics. He also had a good sense of humour. You can tell he loves his job! The traditional bbq lunch at the end was excellent too!

A great full day experience seeing all the “big sights”. Monica was excellent, very knowledgeable and punctual. Skipping the queues and the very clearer meeting points, meant everything ran smoothly. Monica was very friendly and helpful throughout.

Peter was knowledgeable, with a good sense of humour. He made it fun. Paulo got us to our destinations in the fastest possible time… I would recommend Carioca Tropical to anyone.
