    Excellent tour of Rio by a knowledgable and extremely helpful tour guide, Monica. My mother uses a walker, and Monica went out of her way to accommodate her in lineups and areas where elevators were available. This meant a lot of running around, and we were amazed and appreciative of Monica‘s help. All the major sites are covered, it was a thorough tour and the only one you need, if you have only one day to tour Rio. Highly recommended!

  2. Jayden_B

    Absolutely amazing day out seeing Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, Selarón steps, São Sebastião cathedral and more!
    Make sure to book the option that includes lunch, you will not regret it!

    Dont go ! This tour is literally a scam !
    Here is what you get (or rather don’t get):
    1. Although we paid the premium price of USD 80 per person – which places this tour at twice the price point of most competitors – the fine print made a vague note that « tickets » are not included which turned out to be code for « admission tickets «  not being included. Obviously, no one goes on a tour not wishing to access the sites of the tour. Hence, the aim of this fine print is solely to trick you into overlooking it and afterwards pay more. Cute ! Needless to say, mild mayhem broke out when people were asked to get their credit cards out at the first stop;
    2. Don’t expect the tour guide to actually guide you. Our tour guide made it a point to be as inconspicuous as possible. Dressed in grey and white without even a hint of color, it was a real challenge to keep track of him through the crowds. While other guides of competing tours marked themselves out with a handheld flag, our guy was literally invisible. To complete the travesty, he insisted on speaking in a near-to-whisper conversational volume eventhough we were in the midst of large crowds with a lot of ambient noise. Perhaps, worst, he did not provide any narrative to the sites unless you proactively asked him. Even when driving between the sites he would offer no narrative. He’d merely converse with the driver.
    My family and I decided to leave the tour before lunch break giving us a few hours of our lives back. Others from the group did the same.
    What you get from this this tour is fundamentally a minibus transport to the sites. Nothing more nothing less. A taxi can deliver the same at a fraction of the price.

    This was my first time in Brazil, the only city I visited was Rio de Janeiro. I was very pleased with the tour, they picked me up right on time. Sabina is such a lovely tour guide, explains everything with patience and warmth. The driver, André, is also very helpful. The only thing I would recommend is that they have wifi inside the van.

    the whole day was unfortunately grey and rainy, so not due to the supplier here. But because there is a but, she was not taking care of the group. She always on her phone corresponding to whoever. At a moment on Corcovado I went t an opposite direction to look at something, but she didn’t pay attention and kept moving forward without me. Hopefully, with a little bit of situational intelligence I join the group back on the other side of the site. But just imagine the stress at this moment….
    Morevover, she didn’t afford to stay with us for lunch and move to another table alone !!!! And we had to pay beverages on top of what we paid already for the day.
    Not recommended again

    Francesca is excellent. She has extensive knowledge of Rio. She is a great ambassador for the city! I hope I can come back someday.

    Monica was our guide and she was wonderful. She speaks very good English and is so knowledgeable about her city and country. She was caring about those of us on her tour and took care that we were with her in the crowds. She answered all our questions as first time visitors to Rio and Brazil. It was the perfect use of our one available day to see the sights of Rio. We absolutely recommend her as a guide for this tour.

  12. Ian_B

    Great tour covering all the major sights of Rio. Our guide Gabo was knowledgeable, spoke great English and had an excellent sense of humour despite having a particularly difficult guest to contend with. Only downside was that the aircon broke on the bus midway through the tour which made things a bit uncomfortable but hey, these things happen

  13. Brenda_M

    Our guide Gabrial did the best with what he was given to use. The mike on the van kept cutting out and the aircon in the van gave out just before lunch. It was hot but he did a great job and was very informative and had a great sense of humour. We had the major points done before the crowds and lineups got too busy. The lunch was a true Brazilian experience.

  14. Matthew_R

    Gabriel was a great tour guide, we had a lovely time. He was very knowledgeable and funny! Highly recommend!

  15. Jennifer_L

    This tour was a lot of fun, adventurous, smooth and an overall good time! We spent the day exploring Rio and all of the main attractions with our wonderful tour guide Monica who was really sweet, a professional, and very knowledgeable about the city’s history and we enjoyed the experience. The meal provided was delicious, the information was insightful, and the attractions were such a joy that we’d do the entire tour again! I highly recommend spending the day with Monica exploring the beautiful city of Rio and learning about its history and culture and taking in the beautiful views!

  16. Sylvanus_L
