Great day in Rio - Very well organize tour, perfect timing for the attractions except that it shouldn’t stop in the soccer stadium as we could not even go inside. The tour guy was very friendly and knowledgeable

Highlights day tour - This is a fantastic tour and captures all the highlights such as Christ the Redeemer statue, sugar loaf mountain, Saint Theresa’s Cathedral and Salerno Steps. The sights are magnificent however the heavens decided to pour down and the mist was so heavy that I couldn’t really see Christs face and nothing of the Sugar Loaf mountain as we went up by cable car and back down the rain kept coming. Still the tour was great fun and I am glad I got to do it! Bonus points was I also saw the cutest little monkeys!

Surpassed my expectations. Geissa Barreto is the best! - This was the best tour of Rio that anyone can take! Some of the participants were rude to the tour guide, but the tour guide kept it all under control. I really enjoyed everything we saw. we did the entire tour in eight hours by cutting lines and having a tour guide that is time efficient. I could not imagine seeing everything in that short amount of time if there were no time limits like the ones our guide set. I did not want to go to the buffet because I thought it was going to be a buffet outside, and I also do not eat meat but the vegan and pescatarian options at the restaurant buffet were amazing. It is basically all you can eat. This is the best part of my trip to Brazil! Geissa Barreto is the best tour guide in Brazil 🥰

Great way to view the city! - As a couple, we had a great time on this tour getting to see the famous parts of Rio. We find this is the most efficient way to view multiple landmarks in a day. Would recommend if you are looking for something to spend your day with.

Cara made it a fun day out in Rio - Sugar loaf mountain was the highlight and I unexpectedly enjoyed the cathedral. Didn’t get into the Sambadrone so the tour description needs updated as there is no paid entry. Our guide - Cara- was delightful and coped well with selfish guests who were habitually late back. Lunch was disappointing. I think on balance I would probably have preferred the half day tour!
