Great tour! Very well timed. Very smooth communication, clear transport and timing. It was a wonderful group of very friendly and polite tourists and some of us met up for dinner later!
-
We had a great experience. We got picked up, the van was new with AC. Monica spoke 3 languages throughout the tour which was perfect for the group. Everything was pretty organized, and we got some amazing pictures. Highly recommended!
-
Being able to share the experience with husband, the view, the weather and guides were informative, bus was comfortable.
-
We saw what we were promised to see. The guide Karen was very good in Spanish and Portuguese. However, we booked this tour because it was with an English speaking guide but unfortunately she was poor in English. That is definitely not Karen's fault.
-
My tour guide was so friendly and amazing. We got to see all of Rio in a day and it was a great way to get around the city and not feel overwhelmed. Being in a group was nice too. The tour took quite a few hours but was well worth spending the day out in the city.

This trip was suppose to be a half day experience. My group had to wake up very early in the morning to be ready to go by 7:45. The tour guide was 30 mins late picking us up and then had about 4 other stops to make. One of which we waited in the van as the guide disappeared for 45 minutes and never returned with any other passenger. Our tour didn’t even start really until noon. Then we had about 30 minutes at Christ the Redeemer, which was not nearly enough time with the crowds and long lines. The entire tour felt rushed at the two stops. The tour guide was rude and talked badly about the passengers on multiple occasions. The guide barely had any facts to share with the tour and was arguing with one of the passengers about population in the city. Overall it felt like the longest day ever, finally returning to our hotel around 1500. So yourself a favor and book somewhere else.

We had a fantastic Guide which made all the difference. She was knowledgeable and remarkably kept the group together. Everyone was very impressed by the guides, energy and enthusiasm. Thank you!

First of all this is not a half day tour - it is a full 8 hours. The guide was horrible, barely spoke English and gave no information about anything we were seeing. Worst tour ever.
-
Visited Rio’s top two destinations in only 5 hours. Transportation logistics alone made this tour worthwhile. The guide tried very hard in several languages to teach us about Rio’s history.
