Sandra was absolutely wonderful! The tour was great and included things that were so interesting to see that I wouldn't have done on my own. In addition to the two main attractions of Christ Redeemer and Sugar Loaf, it was so interesting to see downtown Rio, the Olympic Stadium, the cathedral, and the Selaron stairs. Sandra is very knowledgeable. The group chat she created made communication easy. I appreciated her sharing the live location for a more accurate pick-up time, as traffic conditions are unpredictable. My only suggestion is that it would be helpful for her to text after each pick-up and then provide an ETA for the next pick-up, since sometimes live location doesn't update accurately. But everything was wonderful, and I highly recommend!

It was a great experience my tour guide Alexia was awesome, well around, funny and welcoming spoke Spanish and English. I appreciated how she cared for our group and put safely first. The driver Cleber was very efficient.

This was a great tour with C2Rio. It was well organised, we had adequate time for the main attractions. Our guide, Daniel, was informative, accommodating, and kept the group on track! Lunch was excellent with plenty to eat. Would recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see the main attractions in Rio.

First of all our guide Jal was excellent. The day was great and despite us not getting back to our hotel until 8.45pm it was well worth it. Jal gave us a lot of information and for his part of the tour was organised. The queues at the attractions were like something i've never seen before. If you do this tour it will be worth it, however you will need to be patient!

OK, but expensive and not very comprehensive. Pick up and transfer arrangements unacceptable - nearly 2 hours of collecting at other hotels before tour started.

It's an overall great experience. Specially for solo travelers. Our guide Cristiane was so kind and nice, she speaks perfect english and spanish and gave us great insights of the city. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. Its amazing to get an overview of Río so you can enjoy other spots like the beaches and the forrests for the rest of your trip. I wish the tour could include the Royal library instead of a stop at the Maracana Stadium as it's normally closed an you only see the outside really. But that's a personal preference. It was still a great experience for sure

I had a great experience on the “Full Day: Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf, City Tour & Barbecue Lunch.” The itinerary is very well organized and covers the main highlights of Rio in a single day, which makes it perfect if you’re short on time. Both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain were absolutely worth it—the views are incredible and unforgettable. Our guide, Leticia, was great—very knowledgeable, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the day. She made the experience even more enjoyable. The barbecue lunch was okay—definitely not the highlight of the tour, but still decent and filling. It could have been better in terms of quality and variety, but it wasn’t bad either. Overall, I would recommend this tour for anyone wanting a comprehensive and efficient way to see Rio’s top attractions in one day.
