Rio De Janeiro: Icons, Culture, & Panoramic Views Tour

Online information I think was misleading. We thought we were booking a full day, but was informed by the guide that we only booked a half day. Upon checking he was correct. Very expensive for a half day. Your site should clearly indicate the difference. The guide command of English while not poor, could be better.

So grateful to do this organised group trip with our guide. We could not have achieved this on our own. The queues/lines were very long, but our guide organised tickets and achieved speedier access. Glad we were not solo. A long day, but the best way to see everything. Pickup and drop off from hotel, although early, was worth it. Thanks to C2Rio Tours.

It was a small group tour which is great. The guide was talented as she had to speak in three languages given the people on the tour. Whilst this was commendable it was difficult the concentrate to listen out for the parts that related to us. It also meant there was little opportunity to ask questions as she spoke. The guide also did not accompany us on the stop off to give further explanations of the sights we were visiting which was a shame.

Guides were friendly and on time they knew their city and were proud of their heritage. It was raining but that didnt curb their enthusiasm.

The weather was atrocious but we can’t blame the tour company. We didn’t know that the tour was bilingual, which wasn’t a big deal except that the tour guide spoke allot more in Spanish than in English even though there were more anglophones that Spanish people on this tour. We felt we missed out allot on the historical background.

Excellent day tour. This is the way to see highlights of Rio in a day! Our tour guide Leandro was exceptional, allowing sufficient time to explore each venue, being very informative without the constant stream of trivia some guides feel necessary. The included traditional Brazilian meal was superb! If like us you have limited time in Rio, then this is a perfect way to see all the key attractions in a day. The transport is by a modern 12 seater minibus that was immaculately clean. I highly recommend this tour!

Wow! From pickup to drop off I couldn’t have been happier. Our guides Alexia & Sampaio were so kind and had the perfect structure for a great tour. Alexia’s energy is unmatched and I would bring her on any tour I go to. She was so informative and bubbly. Sampaio made sure we got to our destinations safely and always greeted with a smile. The lunch was really good too. The rain did not stop us :) thank you so much for an incredible day and making me feel comfortable as a solo female traveler in a new country!

Apart from the weather this trip met more than our expectations Our Tour guide Priscylla is by far the best tour guide we have ever had the pleasure of having. She was not only very knowledgeable and informative and had excellent Seamless language skills she was witty and funny and very friendly and made the whole experience memorable. Would highly recommend this trip and if you’re lucky enough to get Priscylla as your guide then you’ve struck gold. We cannot praise her enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Although the guide Patricia was very kind and pleasan, the tour initially started well with an overview of the main attractions, however we spent only 30 minutes at the Selarón and 40 minutes at the Christ the Redeemer, after spending more than 2 hours at the Corcovado train station due to delays of tickets that the guide did not even manage to solve. Lunch was good and overall we managed to have the visits that the tour sells, but I would recommend not stopping at a friend’s souvenir store and instead split more wisely the time at disposal. The Sugarloaf experience was indeed very nice and smooth, although also in that case tickets were bought in that exact moment (so why a guide should be needed for that). Last but not least, air conditioning was a nightmare on the shuttle and the vehicle itself was old and half broken inside.

Great itinerary but the guide was terrible ! Her communication was poor and difficult to understand. She never answered a question directly and gave very poor instructions on meeting times etc. it was only the guests looking out for each other thst kept the group together at times. The bus had several broken seats abd air con on full blast. One couple bailed out before the final stop to Sugar Loaf Mountain as the tour was running late due to a massive wait at Christ the Redeemer which the guide seemed non plussed why we had tickets to board the train with a 90 minute wait. Lunch was good and plentiful and we did complete the itinerary although it took over 9 hours.
