A great way to see all the major sights in one day. We got to go up to both Chtrist the Redeemer and Sugarloaf, as well as other significant sights. We could not have seen a fraction of that on our own.

The tour experience was amazing. Our tour guide, Luciana was very knowledgeable and spoke multiple languages. The driver, Cristiano made the trips flawless and comfortable. I definitely would recommend them to anyone coming to Rio.

Amazing experience around Rio do Janeiro. Both of my parents are quite old and they need support to enjoy the experience. I do want to personally thanks Luciana and Cristiano for the patience and support with both of my parents. Small things make big difference. Cheers from Colombia 🇨🇴

This was a really great tour. Alessandro is an awesome tour guide everything ran smoothly and the lunch was fabulous. We would highly recommend this tour. The pace was just right and we saw everything on our list in one day. We were picked up on time and returned to our hotel around 4:30. Wonderful day!

The trip was overbooked so they piled us into a full size bus where we drove all around the city for over an hour picking up guests. There was a lot of waiting because the group size was too big. Many guests complained to the guide Sandra about the large group size. This is not what we signed up for! There were approximately 60 guests and just one guide and she couldn't handle that many guests in the crowded venues. She lost two guests at our first stop, which we had to wait for and then she left me at our second stop and did not wait. We were at the train station and I was in the line behind the group and when I called for her, she looked right at me and continued on. I had to find a taxi ride home and I missed the other half of the tour. When I called the company to complain, they gave me a very small refund which did not even compensate for missing the rest of the tour, lunch, and my safe ride. There are so many tour providers in Rio that offer smaller size groups which makes for a much better experience. I booked this tour through TripAdvisor which is notorious for companies that overbook trips. I prefer GetYourGuide or Viator for a much more personal and enjoyable experience!!

Tour was fantastic! No complaints. You get to see so much of Rio in such little time. The tour has enough stops to fill up the 8 hours but also doesn’t feel rushed. The staff was super friendly too and the lunch was great!
