The tour guide was able... - The tour guide was able to speak to the group in both English and german. The pickup was on time. The guide was especially helpful with my older parents and help them stay out of the sun when possible and provided seating when we were in lines for the activities.

Greta Tour - Guide contacted us before pick up and collected on time at our hotel. Given ongoing commentary as we toured through the city towards Christ The Redeemer. Up the winding road to the top and a change over to the buses to the top. The views at the top are spectacular but even on a Monday, having been advised to avoid the weekend, the area around the statue was extremely busy (not helped by people lying on the ground to take the "perfect Insta picture"). The trip up Sugar Loaf Mountain in the cable cars was smooth and once again the views of Rio from the top were spectacular. Tour guide was very informative and engaging.

Few days before tour... - Few days before tour company asked me to depart one hour earlier to avoid traffic. After we’ve arrived to Sugarloaf without any traffic we needed to wait for one hour as the attraction was closed. Everything else was good. Tour finished two hours later that expected

Rio: Sugarloaf & Christ the Redeemer - Our tour was advertised as a half day tour. I was picked up at 8:30 am expecting to be back by 12:30pm as advertised. I got back to my hotel at 3pm. Our tour van broke down on the way up to Christ the Redeemer...black smoke, overheated engine, stranded at the side of the mountain for about 10 minutes. Granted it was an exceptionally hot day (above 33 degrees C in the shade) and our van was full all morning with the A/C blasting. We were retrieved by another van from the top of the mountain shortly after 10 minutes. Our guide was very good; knowledgeable, and friendly. He did a great job of keeping us on track and explaining both pertinent and interesting facts along the way. The sights were incredible... absolutely stunning! I highly recommend this trip but I hope it is as advertised for you. I would suggest they do Christ the Redeemer first to avoid the heat and crowds. Overall, a fantastic experience. The views are absolutely incredible.

Great views, Amazing attractions but poor tour. - Both Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf mountain are amazing, and a must see when your in Rio. For me this tour was disappointing, Unlike other tours we have done in South America, usually the tour guide helps to bring the tour to life with there enthusiasm and knowledge. For me this time this was not there. Most of the tour was spoken in Portuguese and I found it differcult to hear the guide in English particularly on the accent to Christ the Redeemer. I brought this to his attention for which he said he would repeat again on the decent, but did not?? We went on a Saturday morning which I would avoid if you take the tour due to the crowds. We were also asked to wait in the baking sun for a considerable time for a photograph that most people did not seem to want. Tips : Take plenty of water.
