About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- LadyJayUSA0 contributions10 out of 10, highly recommend!This was a fantastic finish to our short trip to Rio! We booked the 7 hour private tour on our last day with pick up at our Lemme hotel and drop off at GIG airport. Gregtur Tourism Rio did an excellent job of generating a personalized tour that captured all the key sites including Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Escadaria Selarón along with a few other key highlights. Our tour guide Camila brought a tremendous amount of energy and knowledge about the different places and made some great recommendations on local eateries. I've traveled all over the world and felt truly secured with Gabriel our driver navigating the routes and watching our belongings as we toured the different areas. I highly recommend Gregtur Tourism Rio specifically Camila and Gabriel for any future tours!Written 4 February 2025
- N5545XTethant0 contributionsIncredible Experience, must do when in RioIt was an awesome day, fully worth the money you pay for it. A great way to see the highlights of the city if you have limited time, or just cause. Our guide, Marco, was incredible and was super knowledgeable about the city. There was a whole mix of Spanish and English speakers but he made sure to include everyone and ensure that we all had the same information. It was a hassle free experience as he sorted all of the tickets and transport so all we had to do was go where we were told. Along with Marco, the actual tour operator is amazing as well. They reached out and made sure I knew where I needed to be to get picked up, and if I had any questions they responded with super helpful information really quickly. Overall it was an amazing experience that everyone should do when they’re in Rio.Written 3 February 2025
- colinv5680 contributionsGreat experienceLorraine was a great guide who took care of all of the logistical hurdles you’d face navigating a large city. We saw Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, the Maracana, the downtown Cathedral, the tiled steps and briefly the Marques de Sapucai. They also organized a traditional buffet lunch which was covered in the fare. Overall, a great way to tackle the major sites in the city on a short schedule. My one comment would be to shorten the time spent at Sugarloaf, which was a bit protracted.Written 31 January 2025
- Y2720DVcarlh0 contributionsExcellent TourAn excellent tour that got me to the tourist hotspots with very little hassle. Campos was an amazing guide, was entertaining and informational throughout. An excellent way to spend a day to know the city.Written 31 January 2025
- Alex B0 contributionsCan’t be done in a day…it will test your patienceDespite my love for Brazil and their super nice people, organising stuff is not their thing. The waiting times and lines for the Christ and the sugar loaf are endless..you risk hating the whole thing by having to wait forever and the fact that it is noticeable that someone has find a way to impose bureaucracy to go up a hill, make a mess of traffic (before defending the chaos, please consider Peruvians manage machu pichu, without any of these problems). By all means, visit, arrive early and do one thing per day. (I still do not know why every time you book a tour, on the day, the guides need to physically buy tickets, making waiting unavoidable….(painful and unnecessary, as they know people are coming…why not organising a system for advance tickets/boookng? Managing traffic?Written 30 January 2025
- kevinbS5432MT0 contributionsOverall good experienceThe trip was very good and timely. The van we rode on didn’t have AC which was a bummer because it advertises it. Our host was very nice and sweet although the English was broken. All in all would recommend for anyone traveling to rio.Written 29 January 2025
- F4133CVanthonyw0 contributionsGreat way to see RIO.What a day! Picked up at 8 AM back at the hotel at 7 PM! Chock full of fabulous Rio. Hit all the major attractions and enjoyed just driving around the city. Marco was great at helping us cut every line saving hours in waiting time. Highly recommend!Written 29 January 2025
- garrettm6860 contributionsGreat tour for all agesOur tour guide Eduardo was very kind, informative, and thoughtful. He was very considerate of my family and made accommodations for my child who is under 6 months old.Written 29 January 2025
- claudiabM38RE0 contributionsAmazing tour! Highly recommend.Gustavo and our driver , sorry I forgot his name are amazing! Pickup was on time and the tour was wonderful. Gustavo was translating in 2 languages as we had English and Spanish speakers. It was seamless. The lunch included was delicious! Happy to have seen the Selarón steps, sugarloaf mountain, Maracaná stadium and of course Christ the redeemer. The tour itself was wonderful and Gustavo had soo much knowledge and made the tour exceptional. I highly recommend him, the driver and this tour company. I truly enjoyed myself.Written 29 January 2025
- Linda411650 contributionsWell worth itA lot for your money. Our tour guide was very considerate of the whole group. We were with some young girls who were not as focused as they should be so it was a trying dayWritten 29 January 2025
- N8737TUcarolb0 contributionsFabulous RioOur guide, Fabio, and his driver were outstanding. They customized the tour to suit our needs and schedule. They were professional, polite and accommodating. Fábio was knowledgeable, interesting and fun. He masterfully maneuvered us through the crowds - especially at Christ the Redeemer- saving us time and allowing us to see much more. He also went above and beyond by coming into the airport with us and helping us get checked in early. The tour was one of the highlights of our trips. If we are ever back in Rio we’ll be asking for Fábio!Written 29 January 2025
- rockyp6270 contributionsFull day highlights of RioCampos was our tour guide and he was the most lively human beings I’ve ever met! How he maintained all that positive energy while speaking four languages is beyond me. The tour went smooth, pick up was on time. As a first timer to Brazil it would have been awesome to be picked up at my hotel, but communication with team ahead of time was great and it all went smooth. After that teeny bit of anxiety the day was jam packed full of spots and information. Campos gave us the all information as we made our way around Rio and knew how to navigate all of the sites. You can certainly trust Campos! I would recommend learning some Portuguese words for meat so that you can order what you want from the grill at the buffet. Sadly I did not, shame on me, but I was able to just hold out my plate and point 😁! Overall a great full day.Written 28 January 2025
- rebeccalS6402BA0 contributionsBruno was fantastic!This food tour was amazing. Bruno was our guide and he was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about Rio de Janeiro, the culture, the food, the history, and Brazil . He took great care of us. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.Written 28 January 2025
- statutory0 contributionsRio in a dayA very well organised trip and we saw nearly all the sights of Rio, we were picked up at 8.00 and did not return to our hotel until 6.00 it was exhausting but we'll worth doingWritten 28 January 2025
- TomH160 contributionsCaveat EmptorChrist the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf mountain are must sees while visiting Rio! For that reason , the tour is worthwhile. The description of the tour says the tour is in English. The fact is that 80% of the tour was spoken in Portuguese. Since the vast majority of the guests were native Portuguese speaking, it made sense. If you’re English speaking, it was hard to understand what was going on. The tour operator should be more open about the language used in the tour. If we had known beforehand we would not have taken this tour.Written 28 January 2025

Roberto guided us through a wonderful experience in Tijuca Forest. We saw many animals and the waterfall was the highlight of the tour. The stop at Vista Chinesa provided incredible panoramic views of the city. An unmissable tour!

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The trails, parks and views on this tour were beautiful and not something you see often. The hike on the mountain was challenging enough to give us some exercise but pleasant and interesting.

Amazing tour with animals to see in the forest. Our guide Roberto was very knowledgeable. We were also lucky to see a sloth resting on top of the tree and monkeys that we had a chance to feed. Thank you Roberto for sharing all that knowledge with us.
