About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- AlvaroM19070 contributionsExpensive trapWe travelled for about 80 minutes to pick up several guests. They booked the cheapest ticket available (standing and not planning ahead for any guests) At the end they couldn’t wait for 8 minutes and I had to pay for Uber The experience was very poor My recommendation is to do it on your own Don’t waist your money with them Do it on your own Salgueiro is very safe even for foreignersWritten 4 January 2025
- KeithJS20140 contributionsfun expereinceI thought it would be touristy but mostly locals supporting the squad. It seems more of a show for and party Salguerio supporters, than an actual carnival rehearsal, but we loved it.Written 3 January 2025
- 985lienekel0 contributionsPerfect transferThe driver was exactly on time and drove very safe and was friendly. We were at the airport on time. Communication was goodWritten 3 January 2025
- Q3454KDericf0 contributionsGreat transfer service from Buzios to RioNeeded a ride from Buzios to Rio for two people and luggage. They showed up on time as promised, safe ride back with quick bathroom break along the way. Exactly what we needed and would recommend for anyone else needing the same. Reach out to them on WhatsApp once you have purchased to coordinate the details.Written 10 September 2024
- mihaimk0 contributionsThey cancel confirmed tours.They cancelled at 23:11 the day before. In the morning, being in a hurry to be on time, I missed the email. I read it now, in the lobby, while waiting for the pickup.Written 31 December 2023
- Steynvzyl0 contributionsMixed feelingsThis was hard one to rate. The tour itself is great, I really enjoyed that very much. Very interesting, and you get to see some great historical stuff. The bad part however is the transport they use. The Mercedes Sprinter mini bus that was used was horrible. The shocks of the vehicle are completely worn and it felt like riding in a horse cart on a pebble road. Everything inside the bus rattled too. This bus needs replacement or to be repaired. You should not transport tourists in a vehicle that is in such a bad condition, especially driving through a mountain pass. The advertisement also states entry/admission to Quitandinha Palace Congress and Convention Center. We only stopped far away for photos and did not enter. Don’t false advertise! The tour language is done in Portuguese, Spanish and English. Just unfortunate that almost no English was spoken as there were only 2 of us. The other languages had detailed explanations about areas and places.Written 9 December 2023
- MaryannG2440 contributionsPetropolis worth visiting.Petropolis is definitely worth the visit. Its an interesting place with lots to see but don’t take the lunch option. It is awful. Bad food in a dingy resturant and certainly not worth the additional cost. The tour guide spoke English well but his explanations in Spanish and Portuguese was extensive and basically one sentence in English so you cannot rely on that. The bus was had very dirty windows not ideal when you are on a tour. If you can rather do this trip independently or even if you hire a car for the day.Written 22 November 2023
- W4792AAapriln0 contributionsGem of a CityRafa was an outstanding tour guide for Petropolis. He gave a great overview of the city’s history. The rich German culture is seen throughout the city. You can see his joy and passion in his role as a tour guide.Written 5 July 2023
- I4462XFdaniellep0 contributionsAmazing Salgueiro!!! Bad tour agency.The event, once we were dropped off was simply AMAZING!! Like, everybody should experience that in Rio - very nice and SAFE location. Incredible energy, beautiful people! Next time we will be looking into getting to Salgueiro in a bag or Uber. Cons: We were 2 hrs in the tourist agency bus waiting for everybody else to be picked up… we were the first. I wished I knew it so we could’ve meet the bus at the last pick up location, 2 hrs later. The agency used here (or the guide) seemed disorganized, the bus smelled like a public bathroom, like pretty bad. Outdated bus, no music nothing fun for 2 hrs before dropped off at the event, which was a shame. With little adjustments this could’ve been a better experience in general.Written 15 January 2023

The driver came on time with a large van just for two of us. The actual drive was fast and smooth in a/c car and took a little bit more than 3 hours. Very professional. Will recommend to anybody. Good quality for a very reasonable price.

We hired several services from the Costa do Sol agency (airport transfers, Buzios transfer, boat trip in Buzios), everything was simply perfect. We were a large group of 17 people, we asked for several last minute changes and they were able to accommodate us with everything. Congratulations and thank you to the entire team, and especially to Keniston for all the support!

First problem:
The advertised service was not delivered.
We were promised a large SUV with bottled water, onboard wifi, etc...
What we got was a little old Chevy. Totally unacceptable for a 3 hour drive on Brazilian roads.
Second problem:
We obviously refused to board this very uncomfortable car and requested a refund.
So far, the operator is refusing to refund the trip.

Phillippe, não houve nenhum problema com o seu transfer, você nao embarcou em nosso veiculo porque voce simplesmente não gostou do modelo, simples assim!
O veiculo que foi buscar vocês foi um sedã Chevrolet Prisma ano de 2022, com ar condicionado, banco em couros, bagageiro externo extra. Veiculo padrão para atender 3 pessoas com 1 mala pequena!
Sobre Wifi e agua a disposição, sim havia tudo isso, se você estivesse entrado dentro do veiculo, mas de longe ao avistar o carro você ja informou que nao iria viajar nesse veiculo e simplesmente retornou, avisando ao motorista Sergio que voce iria solicitar um Uber Black.
Quando chegou o seu Uber Black, que segundo voce era uma SUV muito melhor, na verdade era um veiculo com aparecia de SUV de 4 lugares com o mesmo tamanho de espaço que nosso veiculo, e para piorar o motorista da Uber veio buscar voce de camiseta, bermuda e chinelo!
Temos tudo registrado com as filmagens e fotos que o nosso motorista fez, por isso que negamos e a Viator também negou o seu reembolso.
Você nao quis porque foi arrogante achando que é superior as outras pessoas e no final foi em um veiculo semelhante com um motorista sem experiencia em viagens longa, completamente despreparado, colocando a vida da sua família em risco por puro ar de superioridade.
REEMBOLSO NEGADO!

Our flight has a suspected gas leak so we didn’t get to Rio on time for the shuttle to pick us up. The operator said we should forcefully insist on a refund from airliner and when airliner refused, tour operator said they wouldn’t refund us ticket or arrange for a later transport.
