Private tour - The best of Rio in 1 day

Patricia was an excellent tour guide and we felt well looked after throughout the whole tour. We went to all the main attractions and it felt very relaxed, having time to explore, take photos and shop. She was very efficient with communication leading up to the tour, and gave us lots of history and information about all the sights we saw. We would definitely recommend Lotus Rio Tours and will revisit again :)

Thank you Pati for this wonderful day ! Our group saw all the major sights in Rio and because of Pati’s expertise we had very few lines which was amazing. She even had water for us in the van ! Thanks so much for making this day special.

Patricia was a great guide and driver. We saw so much in a few hours. Patricia gave us several choices along the way so the day included our “must sees”. She’s very knowledgeable about all things in Rio. Highly recommend.

Perfect experience and undoubtedly recommended! Pati picked us up directly from the hotel and took us around Rio telling a little 'the history of the city! Unfortunately we only had an afternoon but we were able to see both Selaron staircase and clearly Christ the Redeemer. Despite the clouds, we relied on Pati’s experience and in fact once on top, we managed to see the Christ! We would have done another tour if we had more time!!

How can I start explaining this perfect day? Patty is easy to contact, she speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English. She offers options for payments, accepts credit cards and transfers. She tailors the excursion to your needs and preferences. She offers historical information in all the locations visited. Today, she picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at the hotel after our tour. Our luggage was kept safe in her vehicle at all times. My friend and I had a wonderful and relaxed day thanks to all Patty’s attentions!

Patricia picked us up at the Port from our cruise ship and took us on a customised tour for the whole day. We visited the Maracana Stadium, learnt all about Carnival, walked up the Seralon Steps then went to Christ the Redeemer. We had Patricia’s wonderful descriptions of all of the history. After driving along Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, we parked at the Cathedral then walked downtown to the beautiful Library and visited Confeteria Columbus. We were returned to the port in time to get ready for dinner on the ship. Thank you for your wonderful and warm conversation- your English is excellent!

Pat was amazing. Knew all the places to visit and tailored made the tour for our needs. Truly a wonderful day with her. Highly recommend.

Patricia was the perfect guide for our one-day-tour in Rio de Janeiro: Well organized, good knowledge of the city, patient, willing to adapt, no stress and a good sense of humor. We really recommend her!

I booked a tour for 6 of my friends and it was fantastic from start to finish. We visited Christ the Redeemer, Santa Teresa/the Selaron steps and Sugar Loaf mountain. Our guide Priscylla was knowledgeable, witty, warm, a fantastic photographer and SO SO MUCH FUN! I can’t recommend her enough, if you’re looking for a dynamic tour of the city this is the one!! After several other experiences in the city, my friends are still talking about how much they loved Priscylla!

Patricia was super knowledgeable and helpful. We spent a full day with her and she made it super easy to get around and visit all of the sites. Ira obvious she cares about what she does and we definitely recommend her for anyone!
