About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- S963DZannf0 contributionsRefreshing and mellowVery nice mellow experience after the sun and crowds on Sugarloaf mountain and Christ the Redeemer. The guide was great, providing knowledge about history and flora. The driver knew how much I wanted to spot and Toucan in wild and made extra efforts to stop and point out. Lovely views, stroll through the jungle was refreshing and not taxing. Very much recommend if you have the time.Written 21 March 2025
- N8837WJgregm0 contributionsWhat an experience!!Our guide was fantastic and it was an incredible day out. We were lucky enough to be there for the grand final game and the atmosphere was fantastic, 80,000 screaming fans .. it was electric Highly recommend !!Written 17 March 2025
- Gordodry0 contributionsA nice day in natureWe were the only couple on today's tour so it was very nice to have our own guide and driver. The botanic gardens are amazing and the knowledge of our guide was first class, the ticket office was painfully slow and when we eventually got to the desk we were delighted to get seniors discount. The amazing waterfall in the forest was unbelievable. We saw some wild life and then headed back to our hotel passing by some spectacular scenery. My only disappointment was the amount of time in the forest, I thought we would have more than the 20 minutes we were given.Written 17 March 2025
- Claudette Z0 contributionsAwesome day in Rio!Our guide, Louis was incredible! He gave all information in English and Spanish, maneuvered the many crowded places with clear instructions. The tour did run over but it wasn’t a problem for anyone in our group. We ended the day at a Brazilian Steakhouse in Brazil!Written 15 March 2025
- 24medm0 contributionsTotally recommend! Would do it again :)Totally recommend the tour! Well organized and GABI was the best tour guide. Thank you Gabi! Food was well too. We had a good time.Written 14 March 2025
- FLAKOT10 contributionsLonely traveler 🧳 from californiaThe parade is breathtaking brilliantly colorful, mayor spectacular on planet hearth. Highly recommended do not book an activity next day due to this night time parade will go slow with 30 minutes intervals every hour starts around 10:00 pm and will last all night long have fun. Most people will be standing singing and dancing…Zamba!Written 4 March 2025
- Zackbizzy100 contributionsWasted my time!0 - Stood me up, waiting for an hour with no correspondence from them to notify me. Wasted my time and ruined my day Do better!Written 3 March 2025
- saptaparnan0 contributionsKudos to the tour guide for making it worth itThe tour guide was amazing, super informative and friendly. The tour itself was slightly disappointing, with no fault on the tour guides, there was simply very little to see other than waterfalls and trees.Written 1 March 2025
- M6225YAveronicaf0 contributionsRio tourExcellent tourist guide! She went far and beyond and is very knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. The route and the city is beautiful!Written 27 February 2025
- GovBilly0 contributionsGo and See Some Beautiful Gardens in Rio!I was alone on this guided tour through the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens. My guide was “Milene” who spoke perfect English. She was very knowledgeable and helpful with explaining the history of the gardens and the various wonderful trees and plants inside the gardens. We walked at a leasurely pace so I could enjoy the beauty of the gardens. Milene helped me by taking many photos of me standing in front (or inside) many of the lovely plants and structures. Do you want to get away from the fast pace of central Rio? Yes, then go do this peaceful and beautiful tour of the incredibly diverse plants in the Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens!!Written 27 February 2025
- macisk0 contributionsDramatic ViewsThis excursion is a great overview of the top sites in Rio. The views are spectacular! Gabi, our guide, provided translation between English, Spanish, and Portuguese to accommodate all guests in the mini bus. She was very polite and solicitous of the varying guests requirements. Lunch, which was excellent, was included at a traditional Brazilian restaurant with very friendly staff. Only drawback was that the van was too small for not only the size of our group but also anyone over 5'8"Written 22 February 2025
- 158donovanh0 contributionsGreat AdventureIt was a great time and well worth the price. George is a wonderful, funny and knowledgeable guide. The ride over was great with an open air truck that let you feel the breeze and see Rio from a new angle. Highly recommend for an active activity in Rio.Written 17 February 2025
- moeleo1122980 contributionsWorth the time!Excellent tour with many great highlights. Gregory was an excellent story teller and helped bring the sites to life. Would highly recommend for any first-timers in Rio!Written 5 February 2025
- AlanD3810 contributionsDisappointingWe had expected that the tour company would have organized pre purchase of tickets to the major attractions rather than having us wait in line. The 5 hour tour turned into 8 hours or more with all our waiting. We never did see the famous painted steps in the old city as the whole area was full of many young drunk people and impossible to safely reach the steps.Written 5 February 2025
- Diane_Ldn0 contributionsGood trip for short visit to the forestThere were seven in the group and the guide was great. He was very knowledable about the forest and told us more about the city on the journey there and back. The trip is quite sedentary with a stop at the Chinese pagoda, waterfalls and an easy 1hr walk through the forest. There was a short top at a beautiful beach on the way back. If you would like to have an easy visit to the forest wtihout trekking then this trip would be a good option.(The mosquitoes were vicious depite wearing repellent)Written 1 February 2025

Great experience! A formidable tour inside an open jeep and some light walking amidst tijuca rainforest made my day more than perfect! Highly recommended!

The tour is 6 hours but only 1.5 hours of hiking, what do you do for the remaining time?
