  • The ranking of tours, activities, and experiences available on Tripadvisor is determined by several factors including the revenue generated by Tripadvisor from these bookings, the frequency of user clicks, and the volume and quality of customer reviews. Occasionally, newly listed offerings may be prioritized and appear higher in the list. The specific placement of these new listings may vary.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    We were introduced to Marcio through the concierge at our hotel and it proved to be a great decision. We travel a lot and always like to go off the beaten path and Marcio did exactly that. We visited the standard tourist locations, but Marcio took us to the little know locations with incomparable views. We got to see what Rio had to offer for international tourists but also views only a local would know.

    If you are short on time or if you are looking for a private, tailored tour experience. I would recommend you reach out to him. I would definitely have him tour us again the next time we are back in Rio. Thank you Marcio for making our Rio experience unforgettable.

    Luiz was such a wonderful guide! He did the tour in English and Spanish for different clients and no information was missed! Small group of 10 people, we never felt rushed and Luiz was attentive throughout the whole experience, so a big thanks to Luiz!
    Only negative is the restaurant felt a bit like a tourist trap and was super overpriced and food was rushed at you making it not an enjoyable experience.

    Outstanding! Marcelo was terrific! He was very communicative and extremely helpful. We did the day and half tour of Rio first. Great trips on the cable car and to Christ the Redeemer, with tickets provided. Delicious lunch! Then Carnaval at the Sambadrome. It is impossible to describe the experience--such color, singing and dancing, such excitement! One of the best experiences imaginable! Marcelo recommended our seats--they were at eye level with the performers. One blew kisses at me! The transportation arrangements were very good. I was initially concerned about safety, but we were very safe getting there, and we felt quite safe in the Sambadrome. We were very pleased with Marcelo and highly recommend using him if you are going to Brazil.

    Choosing a private tour with RWC in Rio de Janeiro was an excellent decision. It's easier and more enjoyable to explore the city with locals. I had a great time at live music and dance events, savored diverse Brazilian cuisine, discovered Rio's neighborhoods with the bike, and the highlight was the Sugarloaf hike. Exploring Rio without Portuguese knowledge was much easier with RWC. Thanks a lot for the incredible time and adventures in Rio!

    The tour was great. The guide was a history professor and was brilliant in the stories and knowledge of local sites and local customs. The trip included more stops, before and after Christ the redeemer visit. I think it was the most memorable trip to really capture Rio in half a day. Highly recommended.

    We came to the tour with an agenda of Botanical Garden, Maracana Stadium, Metropolitan Cathedral, Seleron Steps, and lunch. Lionel suggested we go to the National Park instead of the Botanical Garden, so we followed his advice. It was a wonderful suggestion! We saw the rest of our agenda in 6 hours. We were not ruched. Lionel suggested the restaurant too. If we could give 10 stars we would.
