A well organised day tour that includes the main sites of Rio. The only thing is it is a long day and very tiring. I think to improve the tour should start earlier around 7.30am and finish by 5/6pm, or priority tickets should be bought for Sugar loaf and Christ the Redeemer to avoid spending a long time queuing. Our tour was 8am- 8pm in the end which was too long for us.
This tour, I would definitely recommend if you want to see all the major parts of Rio our tour guide. Nicole was truly amazing and was also great with all the passengers, the girl can speak three languages from Portuguese to Spanish to English to French, it were translated and describe everything in every detail so that everyone could fall along with the tour and I would definitely recommend doing this tour for anyone who wants to see all the best parts of Rio in a day
All very nice, thank you for the new experience and for taking us to know the Christ. Argentines❤️
Very good the tour, touched us with the guide Otavio very attentive and patient, the food was very rich had several options, the collective very comfortable with air, we did not touch line in the attractions
Ridiculous company people have time with you , we scheduled the tour I went to another hotel as they asked and simply did not appear , was a girl who cv on WhatsApp and said q confused and did not put me on the route , is a joke no ? Note 0 for this company q does not know how to treat tourists and customers as they should
Great tour that includes the most important sightseeing points. We did have some minor issues with the pickup since our names were not on the list. It is possible because we booked on January 1st for the next day but it got resolved in the end. The tour lasted longer than expected due to the big lines both at Sugarloaf and Christ Redeemer. The guide Nicole was very nice and provided some information about the sights we visited. Buffet lunch was great with big selection of food.
Excellent company. Highly recommended. Good people, trustworthy and generous. Jose is 10! The best! we are very grateful and travel with Pepe who solves everything and hikers too. We were Jose's turn. Amazing person. It tastes a lot. Explain and accompany. Super recommended! Total thanks
I really enjoyed the tour. The views from the top of the morrows were amazing. Our guide was really motivated and ensured we get enough Fotos. It was a really nice day.
Otavio was a good guide. However, the management of the logistics and itinerary were not. I had reserved the 8:30 am tour with pickup at my hotel in the Tijuca area, and I was put on a 7:20 am tour with no pickup at my hotel, but another one, which I had to get to by Uber. Then, we spent over two hours in traffic and picking up people from various hotels in the Tijuca and Copacabana areas before the tour began. Additionally, the group was mixed, comprising people who had chosen the full- and half-day options, which resulted in jamming most attractions before lunch (which finally took place by 3 pm). We finally reached Sugarloaf Mountain by 5:30pm, and because all visitors wanted to take the cable car down the hill after sunset (about 6pm), we had to queue for over an hour. I got back to my hotel by 8pm.
We made the excursion with Peter as a guide and Filipino driver. The experience was extremely satisfying. Peter a great guide, with a lot of knowledge and a lot of good vibes. Filipe great driver. Very good buffet food, which doesn't always happen.
