I got moved to a different tour since this was not offered during Carnaval, so I was one a tour that went to Christ and Sugarloaf. The tour that I went on was definitely not one of the first groups there and it was packed. I think it would be better to decide on a day where you want to go to the statue and wake up early to take yourself there. I also don't think you would need a tour for Sugarloaf. There's a large shopping center at the top of both mountains and it would have been nice to sit and have lunch or a few drinks there. But since we only got 30 minutes at the top of sugar loaf and 20 minutes at the second stop, there wasn't time. For both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf you'd be better going yourself and getting up early.

Sabina was a great guide and showed us historic Rio and the business and religious center of the city - where fewer tourists go.

We had a wonderful Jewish Rio De Janeiro tour with Gisela and Efraim. They are very knowledgeable and caring people. They are passionate about what they do and want to share with you their Jewish Community. We highly recommend them.

Omg this was absolutely amazing and had such an amazing time with our guide. We booked the 9 am tour on Tuesday and was not disappointed… she was very well versed with the history and architecture of Rio and for that it was very amazing.

The host was friendly and great overall just read the inclusions we had to pay for the entry fee in both locations I believe there was a different package on here that includes the entree fee just makes it easier.

Despite letters to Customer Relations, and also the Chief Executive, I have had no response to my request for a refund for a payment we made to a seat change several weeks before our flight. I enclosed copies of a receipt for the paid seat selection and also our boarding passes. NO RESPONSE WHATSOEVER.

Mercury retrograde gets a bad reputation, but did you know all planets experience retrogrades? This guide breaks down the meaning and effects of retrogrades, explaining how they influence communication, relationships, and personal growth. Learn how to use retrograde periods for reflection, reassessment, and personal transformation, rather than succumbing to chaos or confusion.

Alè is a super host. He made us feel well come with personal well come card and snacks and drinks and very helpful. The aparment is cozy and friendly. Location is perfect.

We had an awesome experience with our tour guide Monica. She was very informative and knowledgeable. Everything ran to a tight schedule and was extremely professionally handled. No standing in long queues. Would highly recommend.

Misleading, you are just paying for the travel to the statue where you only get around 40 minutes. The tour guide also spoke minimally about the view because many others were going to Sugar Loaf mountain after and would see similar views, so again using this tour option I didn’t get an actual tour. It is very overpriced considering this. I opted out of the journey back in order to spend more time at the statue and enjoy the cafe. I asked the operator to consider these factors and offer a partial refund but they said no. Yes the terms are listed in the T&Cs of the tour but for the price you would think entrance is included, something that is normal in most tours. My original booking was also cancelled as they didn’t have availability. They didn’t let me know until the evening before either so I had to re-arrange my plans last minute. I wish I just cancelled now!!!!

The driver Valdemar and guide Sabina were great, very friendly, and helpful. However, we purchased this tour by the title: " Corcovado and Christ Statue," but they never mentioned this is JUST the ride to the place. It does not include any entrance. So DON'T buy this if you want to go to the Christ. This is a poor description of what you will get. The title should have said: TRANSPORTATION ONLY to the Sugarloaf & Christ! You either buy a full package with transportation and entrance included or get this transportation ticket and be willing to pay additional there.

WOW!! We had the most wonderful, meaningful and informative day with Efraim. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Jewish community in Rio. He gave us a detailed history and walked us thru current Jewish life. We loved visiting the synagogues, the Holocaust Museum, the Jewish community center and the Jewish museum. He shared personal anecdotes of his life in Rio. His partner, Gisela, was a wonderful enhancement to our tour. We left feeling so emotional about our experience and this community. Highly recommend Efraim!!

I had such a great time on this tour! Aside from how cool Christ the redeemer is close up, and the experience in general, my guide Gabriel was fantastic. He was engaging and passionate to share his vast knowledge and knew everybody who worked at the sites.. Everyone was excited to see him and talk to him and that made the experience feel much more personal and welcoming. He puts a lot of care and effort into making sure that you have a good time and that the people around him are happy. It was a very nice personal touch and a bright spot on a rainy day.

Guide was great. The first half was great but the second half is problematic: 1 Macarena stop (30+ mins drive for 3-5 mins in the blaring sun without shade for a statue, and you can't even see inside the stadium) shouldn't exist. 2 We were intially denied entry into Sao Bento (which the inside is the ONLY reason to visit. There is no explanation here. 3 Seleron streets were closed (as they could've/should have) anticipated, and we werent even able to park somewhere to walk and see it. Even lunch is an extra $25USD (EXPENSIVE)and for carnivores and people with large appetites (buffet) which I am not, so had to scramble to find something in 45 mins and initially, thanks to closed places and incorrect orders, did not! They should ONLY be selling half day tours during Carnival week. And NO macarena! This is a money grab. I would have rated the half day 5 stars.

Efron was an amazing guide. His depth of knowledge was extraordinary. He was always informative and always had a joke or anecdote to keep the conversation going. I would say he was one of the best tour guides we experienced in South America.
