Highly recommend. - I really enjoyed this boat trip. Felt very safe and well looked after. The boat will stop just where the planes take off and if your lucky one will fly right over you. It can get a bit windy out there. But nothing serious. Some great photos can be made.

They don't give you eyes! - It is a beautiful tour of about two hours in Guanabara Bay. The landscapes and places you see are amazing. It's worth it. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sugar Loaf and Museum of Tomorrow stop. You can take pictures of those places there. They won't regret it.

Rio de Janeiro is still beautiful... - The ride is very pleasant; the boat does not swing; there are well-established safety standards before the tour; environment full of good energies; Everything perfect. I'd do this tour again.

Comfortable and safe cruise in Rio - This tour was a good value. I wanted to go put on Guanabrara Bay but the other options were more sporty and seemed to have more of a party atmosphere on small vessels. This worked for us and they did stop several times for photos. It was not hard to find the meet point at the Marina like some have said.

Untrue narration - The recorded narration contained untrue facts such as Queen Elizabeth inaugurated the Rio-Niteroi bridge in 1974. She was in Brasil once in 1968 to inaugurate MASP in São Paulo. This should be corrected

Rio from the water! - This was a nice way to see some notable buildings and landmarks from the water. It would have been helpful if a guide had been on the top deck during this trip to point out places mentioned in the audio ( in three languages) as it wasn’t always in sync, by the time it came to the last language or in some cases the first. Also bring a coat or blanket! It gets cold fast! We felt, in our opinion, that too much time was spent unnecessarily at each photo stop.
