Blue babies! 😊 - My sisters and I really enjoyed our tour! Alexia and Berlin were amazing tour guides. We had fun, and they did a great job giving us the history of each site we visited. The BBQ lunch was one of the best meals we had on our trip. I would recommend being ready and at your pick-up location 10 minutes prior to pick-up time so there are no issues being at the train station on time. This tour was definitely worth it and you'll be able to see all the historical sites in Rio !

Unbelievable Rio De Janeiro tour - Alexia was incredible, she knew every single persons name in the group instantly which i was impressed by. This tour is amazing, i was only in Rio for 1 day and i wanted to see everything and this tour is exactly that, we seen everything in Rio, the sugarloaf mountain views were out of this world. Alexia was so passionate about her city and that really showed on the tour, her knowledge was above and beyond. I also wanted this tour as all the sights are far from each other to walk, we kept hopping on and off the bus which was great, this is the only way i could have seen everything in 1 day. So thank you so much. I can’t recommend this tour enough one of the best things i have ever done and what a beautiful city!!

Highlights of Rio - We only had 2 days in Rio and wanted a trip that would cover the highlights. We were not disappointed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was crowded at the various stops, but that was to be expected ( it was on a Saturday and a cruise ship was in port). No regrets, enjoyed our day. Tour lasted about 8 hours, including pick up and drop off.

Fantastic Tour - This was a superb tour (Monday 22nd April 2024) that took in some of Rio's most stunning sights. Our guide was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable not just about the sights themselves but also about the wider history of Rio and contemporary society. The timing was perfect; we hit sunset at Sugarloaf at exactly the right time, yet we never felt rushed. En route, we delved into the sights and sounds of Rio as we went. Highly recommended; we ended the tour wreathed in smiles and a lot more enlightened.

Excellent experience with C2Rio - A beautiful experience!! My husband and I really enjoyed it. Our guide Thalita the best vibes!! Although there were many people in the places visited, she and the driver stayed longer than their usual schedule to be able to do everything scheduled on the excursion. Very good agency!! When I return to Rio I will go on excursions with them again!! Thanks C2Rio!!!

it was ok. pack snacks and drinks. the tour didn't provide . Not fully as described. - The views are good. The description didn't seem fully accurate. There wasn't much time made for grabbing food. You have to manage the open time to take in the views and eating and drinking

If you love waiting... - Waiting , waiting, waiting. This was a very poor tour; disorganized, unhelpful, uninformative. Had to wait until an hour before pickup to get pickup time, then they were 50 minutes late as I stood on street. First stop: a souvenir shop, one of many. Granted, these tourist stops are busy but we spent most of trip waiting while guide tried to find people, buy tickets, find driver, ("Wait at that souvenir shop.") Guide was singularly uninformative ("Look we are on old cobblestones. There are many nice people who live around here. Now we are entering a tunnel. That's a church."). Even the van between stops was poor-- very high seat backs obstructed 90 percent of the view. Definitely one of the worst I've been on.
