This tour takes the train to Christ the Redeemer which is what I wanted. We went on a Sunday which is busy but our guide knew the best times so we avoided any waiting. The pace was just right. We ate at the end to avoid queues and I am glad that we did, the buffet meal is really big and really good.

Perfect way to see it all in one day. Great guide and drive. Felt safe in a city that has a reputation to be overwise.

The views from Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf mountain are fantastic! Luciana was a very knowledgeable guide - with amazing fluency across three languages - and very friendly.

Mr Warley is very well behaved and jolly minded tour guid. Me and my brother are highly impressed by his narration of Rio city and his witty jokes. We both highly recommending him to attached to other foreign tourists so that he can serve more tourist and kept a positive impression of Rio in tourist mind. Thank you and god bless Warley.

Great tour, excellent lunch. Rained the whole day but was still fun I mucked up the start time but it was no big deal, they very kindly transferred us to the next day. The lunch was a highlight of my whole trip

Hassle free tour for first timer in Rio led by amazing Warley. The pace of the tour was perfect, allowing us to enjoy the atmosphere and capture some amazing photos. I appreciated the small group size of different people from around the world, and being a solo traveller, Warley was able to keep everyone engage. Overall, this tour was the highlight of my trip in Rio, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the tourist attractions

Excellent guide Warley and driver Amir. Warley explained the history of the city in an engaging and entertaining way. The trip was super smooth and the rodizio lunch brilliant. Highly recommended tour.

This was a quirky day for people to compare. First of all, it rained buckets. It was so cloudy that there were only occasional sightings of Christo in the clouds -- even on the platform. Second, we were looking forward to the train but for some reason it wasn't running. Now this MIGHT be a deal killer especially with the bad weather also. We had a small group with a comfortable van and a knowledgeable tour guide who was so very personable. He was very clear about identifying the neighborhoods we entered and points of interest. We made some additional stops not mentioned in the description. I don't know if we would have seen them if the train was running. It included the beautifully tiled Escalera and gift shops. We didn't take the lunch and the guide dropped us right at our hotel so we didn't need to find other transportation. This wasn't the tour we signed up for but it was absolutely worth it.
