        Great tour, great guide shame about the weather
        A great tour with a lovely guide, who was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We didn’t get the weather we hoped for but can’t blame the tour and we enjoyed and thought it was great despite the weather - our guide recommended Santa Theresa for lunch which was beautiful and so glad we went

        Wonder of the world
        It was an unforgettable experience as they took us to some of the most important tourist sites in Rio. Would highly recommend for anyone, even if you are traveling solo! Just keep in mind that it might take a bit longer than expected due to crowds and long lines in case you had something planned after.

        Great Experience with Monica
        I had a great tour with Monica. She provided god background information with photos. She adjusted the circumstances and preferences. She was clearly a pro who knew how to navigate the lines and the best picture taking points to make the most of the time. As a solo traveler, I also appreciated her help with photos.

        Excellent city tour
        I booked this tour following a recommendation from a friend. Their rave review was thoroughly deserved. Our tour guide was excellent. We saw all the main tourist sites in one day, travelling around in an air conditioned bus. We opted for the lunch option which was also great value. I thoroughly recommend it

        Fantastic Half Day Tour in Rio
        We are two seniors who are healthy and able to walk, climb stairs and keep up on tours like this with lots of walking and steps. We were assigned to tour guide Karla Belem. We had an excellent van driver. The van was air conditioned and very comfortable. There were five of us, all English speaking except for one more comfortable in Spanish. Karla speaks fluent Portuguese, English and Spanish among other languages. She gave us a very detailed tour of the city. Obviously she loves Rio and due to her excellent guide, we now love it, too. Using this service allowed us to see much of the city and have a fun, fast entry to the attractions. The visit to Christ the Redeemer Statue was just amazing. She took pictures of us before the statue. On we went to Sugarloaf and gained easy access to the tram. What a view! I can’t imagine the hassle of buying tickets and standing in long lines to get to these attractions! With this tour, she took care of all tickets and made entry seamless and very quick. We went to the front of some very long lines. What a wonderful tour and a very professional and warm welcoming guide! We highly recommend this company and this tour booked through Viator

        A top tier experience!
        Our guide, Victoria, was so pleasant and knowledgeable! My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day. We didn’t feel rushed at any point and highly recommend this to others as a great way to see all the top attractions in Rio. Having a small group was beneficial as well.

        Great Tour in Rio de Janeiro
        Great time. Monica was great and helpful and she has a lot of knowledge about the city of Rio de Janeiro. Only suggestion is to arrive earlier for the Christ. 8 am sharp. Too many tourist at 8:50 am. Other than that great tour.

        Must book when in Rio
        I want to extend a huge thank you to Karla for the amazing tour of Rio de Janeiro! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating, even with the busyness of New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day. Karla made sure we saw all the main highlights of this beautiful city while sharing so much valuable information along the way. Her passion for Rio truly shines through, and she went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. A special shoutout to the drivers on both days as well—they were absolutely amazing at navigating the busy roads and ensuring we had a smooth and stress-free experience. I highly recommend this team to anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro!

        Full day private tour
        We did a full day private tour with Melina. She was so sweet, spoke English very well and was a wealth of information. We enjoyed our day with her. We went to Christ Redeemer in the morning, then to Santa Teresa, Selaron Steps , lunch and the Suagr Loaf. We also purchased all entry tickets prior to reduce waiting line. And the fast lane ticket at Sugar Load was so appreciated! It was a nice start to our trip to get to see all the main highlights and again loved the tour company and our guide. Would highly recommend both!!

      Victoria was an excellent guide who spoke perfect English and was very insightful with the neighbourhoods and surroundings of Rio. Her knowledge of the Maracana stadium was impressive and she made Michael and myself feel comfortable. Our driver was very informative and professional as well.

      Can’t recommend someone doing this tour enough. It only takes a morning and you have plenty of free time the rest of the day!
