Great tour which I would personally recommend to anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro. Our tour guide João was fantastic, knows a lot about the city and history, and allows for an authentic site seeing tour which covers the most important attractions in only one day. Also, he was giving enough time to explore and would spontaneously adjust the tour a little to make the best out of it. Many thanks to João for this amazing day in Rio de Janeiro!

The best trip to know the most important places in Rio de Janeiro. This excellent tour with Leandro as a guide and Pablo as the driver was carefully coordinated, with perfect timing. Leandro is an excellent guide, speaks fluid English and Spanish, and have a prompt answer for all the questions asked. Every minute of the tour was planned efficiently and the tourists can get the most every step of the way. Our time in Rio was short and we wanted to see a lot in little time. This was a perfect answer to our wishes. I recommend 100% Leandro as a guide, and the partnership with Paulo as a driver was the best!!!

Alan was an excellent tour guide, very informative and knowledgeable. Food at the lunch was great, sites were all great. Good timing and avoided most of the craziest crowdtimes.

The tour was as advertised and met our expectations. Leandro was our tour guide and he was very good at explaining everything we visited. The lunch was very good and plenty of food available. The trip to Christ the Redeemer was great although the area was packed. The sugarless mountain trip was fantastic. Communication was great through Whatsap. We knew when our pick up was on the way and updates thru the day about meeting times was great. The priority passes for the cable car saved a lot of queuing time. Thanks Leandro for a wonderful day and your enthusiasm for your work.

Wonderful experience! Van was modern and air conditioned. Pick up and drop off at my hotel and the whole day ran perfectly on time. Right amount of time per stop and not too much time, the day held excellent pace. Good communication by C2Rio and very professional. Tour guide was Emma who made everyone feel safe and special. Highly recommend if you want to see all the major Rio sights in one fantastic day.
