Nice tour with amazing views from the top of mountain with a friendly guide. The only thing i didn't like was the rip off photo seller on the mountain 130 Real for 1 photo.

Minibus picked us up exactly on time so good start. The whole tour was brilliant and we were given plenty of time for photos etc. Sugarloaf was amazing , stunning views and cable cars ran very frequently. Don't be put off by the exterior of cathedral, it is unexpectedly breathtaking. Fabulous atmosphere at the tiled steps.

Views are spectacular. Would be 5* if pick up was more timely. Waited from 7.50 am to 8.50 am. No apology given - courier so laid back he fell over !

Everything from the moment we placed our order went well, good communication and driver on time. Louis our guide was first class very professional and accommodating he knew how to fast track us and take a few short cuts to skip the crowds. We went early in the morning to miss the big crowds. We were thinking of going ourselves but so glad we booked the trip less stressful and a good price.

The cable car ride to the top was great. The views and explanations of the site were very helpful. We went with Gate 1 and I would highly recommend them. It was a panoramic feast.

Luis was fantastic. He took good care of all of us and took some amazing photos. (I was struggling to take good selfies ☺️.) It was rainy and chilly but the tour was still quite good.
