1/2 day tour - Christ the Redeemer was awe inspiring, very emotional. The drive to the top of the
mountain was stressful, as I am afraid of heights. The van was air conditioned
which was good, it is extremely hot in Feb in Rio.
Sugarloaf at sunset was very crowded, the view was actually better at the first stop,
so we went back down at sunset.
The cathedral was ok, I stayed on the bus during the selaron tour- sketchy neighbourhood.
The trip was physically difficult , lots of stairs, I am 61 with a knee replacement.
I probably should have split the trip over 2 days, it was hot and exhausting.

Bucket list birthday in Rio - I was sooo happy with this tour! I communicated my information in advance and was given pickup time and location. The tour van was clean and air conditioned. Newton, our tour guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable about the city and its history. We were given enough time to do and see everything promised. Thanks for making my wife's 60th Birthday memorable.

Seeing the beautiful Rio from different angles - Overall it was a nice trip!!! We got to see Rio from different angles and the view was incredible!!!! Chris Redeemer was smaller than I thought but I love the part where they brought us to those beautiful neighborhoods (Escadaria Selaron). My tour guide, Alexia, was fantastic! She was super nice, friendly, professional, and fun to be around!

Aloha spirit lives in Rio! - We had a wonderful time with on-time pickup and a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and conscientious tour guide (Fred)! The stops were great giving us a glimpse of each neighborhood. The time flew by and wished we could stay a little longer at each stop. I could’ve spent the entire day with him! He knew exactly how to take our pics at Christ the Redeemer and showed us the best vantage point from Sugarloaf Mountain to view Copacabana, Ipanema and Botafoga beaches. Fred and his driver were very professional and I can’t thank them enough for a memorable sightseeing tour! Mahalo (thank you) for the Aloha in Rio!

Great tour but horrible guide - Great tour but our tour guide was horrible. She did not engage with anyone, was poor at communicating what was supposed to be happening and didn’t see, to know much of anything beyond what I could read in a tourist pamphlet! We saw all the sights and she kept us on scheduled but basically you just paid for a bus ride to the sights. I’d still do it again but on a day she’s not working. Her name was Thalita (sp?)

The van came on time in... - The van came on time in front of the hotel but the air conditioning was not working. Imagine 7-8 people in a van at almost 40 degrees Celsius (100F) outside. There were 2 open windows but that was not enough. After an hour drive a replacement van came.
The guide Alexia was doing her best but her bad English and the simultaneous translation to Spanish made the trip not so good experience.
The price of the tour is fair to high. Beside the ride, it includes the entry fees to the Monument of Christ the Redeemer and the Sugarloaf mountain.
Honestly I wouldn't recommend this tour to anyone.

Terrible Experience - Nothing memorable. It was a below average experience. I would not recommed it at all. The guide spoke little english, engaged in discussions with the participants, we did not see the Cathedral, and we barely saw the sunset because she wanted to keep moving forward for her convenience.

Good till the end when they just forget me ! - The guide forget me and leave me alone in the night to Rio.
I was assisted very well from Viator but not from this travel agency
The tour went well .. but not in the order and we couldn’t see the sunset promised as we arrived to late. I was really disappointed and stressed. I took a taxi to went back to the hotel. Usually I accept when things not go perfect but really here I don’t understand ! I respected the hours and they even didn’t try to call me prior to leave !
