        A Must Do In Rio
        Highly recommended. Got to see all the main attractions of Rio in one day with a great group of folks but the main star was Monica, the guide. She was excellent and went above and beyond to explain everything I'm detail with lots of humor.. Excellent job!!!

        A great introduction to Rio
        We arrived in Rio on a cruise and were picked up from outside the cruise terminal as arranged. The tour guide was very good. First stop was Christ the Redeemer, and even at 11 in the morning there was a long line, about 1 hour, to get the van to the top. It was packed with people at the top and hard to get a decent photo, but we expected that. The other stops were ok but I felt a little rushed at the Cathedral. Buffet lunch in a local restaurant was very good. The line for the cable car at Sugar Loaf Mountain wasn’t too bad, and the views up there superb. Traffic in Rio is very hectic, it takes a long while to get anywhere, the roads are very bumpy, which made it a bit unpleasant on the bus, but the driver did his best to stay on time. It was a long and tiring day but definitely worth it.

        Rio Experience…Monica was amazing !
        Being in Brazil was wonderful! To be perfectly honest our first day was overwhelming but in a positive way - busy city- LANGUAGE BARRIER! So translator worked overtime! We met Monica for a city tour on day two. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a blessing to have a guide that was so passionate about her job and our group. We were a private group with a senior and she made sure that everywhere we went that accommodation was made for her. We saw the city and learned so much!!! We also were fortunate to have her for our Sugarloaf Mountain Experience and city tour on day 3 as well! Thank you Monica for making this a wonderful and memorable experience!

        Outstanding one day private tour in Rio de Janeiro
        Our private guide, Dario, was absolutely fabulous. His knowledge of Rio de Janeiro history, architecture, natural beauty and culture are exceptional. He quickly understood our interests (3 women from Australia) and showed us those places including what was already scheduled. Nothing was rushed. Dario was extremely helpful and a pleasure to be with. Highly recommend.

        A flair of 1900 Paris in Rio!!!!
        Don’t miss it! The National Library and the Municipal Theatre are both amazing! The Theatre is inspired by l’Opera Garnier de Paris. Both are lovely buildings from the early 1900, located on a square from the same era, it feels like you are in a Brazilian Paris! And the guide: she arrived at our hôtel 15-20 minutes ahead of meeting time and started right away to tell us about today’s tour what we would see and the history of Brasil, Rio and of the sites. She is fluent in French and English which was a plus!!! More over, she is passionate and she succeeds in transmitting her love for her country! Thank you Monica!

        Great views, Amazing attractions but poor tour.
        Both Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf mountain are amazing, and a must see when your in Rio. For me this tour was disappointing, Unlike other tours we have done in South America, usually the tour guide helps to bring the tour to life with there enthusiasm and knowledge. For me this time this was not there. Most of the tour was spoken in Portuguese and I found it differcult to hear the guide in English particularly on the accent to Christ the Redeemer. I brought this to his attention for which he said he would repeat again on the decent, but did not?? We went on a Saturday morning which I would avoid if you take the tour due to the crowds. We were also asked to wait in the baking sun for a considerable time for a photograph that most people did not seem to want. Tips : Take plenty of water.

        Don’t do this
        The description for this is very misleading. We have participated in food tours all over the globe (usually booked through Viator) and have immensely enjoyed. Calling this a “food tour” is WRONG! It was merely overcharging for a meal and sending a taxi to take us to a restaurant. We could have done this ourselves for less! A food tour implies that there will be a guide to explain origins, preparation, background information and possibly more than one location. There was no way to communicate with the proprietors since no English was spoken. I’m not sure this place was properly vetted because we were TOLD it was the best place for feijoada, yet the beef was very tough. How can that be? The Trip Advisor site compared this activity to other food tours that just wouldn’t work with our schedule. My advice is just don’t do this and remove as an offering. I reread the descriptions and my communications with the company and STILL feel misled! Very disappointing.

        Best way to cover popular/ must see sights in Rio
        I had an amazing experience exploring the popular sights of Rio with knowledgeable details provided by our guide Monica Bertazzolo. She was well read and explained everything in Spanish and English for the clients. She was so patient as well as there was huge long queues at Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf. I learned so much about Rio and Brazil. Highly recommend!

        Excellent tour, strongly recommended
        This tour was a brilliant introduction to Brasilia and Jose Alberto was a great guide. We couldn’t have hoped for a better start to our time in Brasilia. Strongly recommended!
