Nice - Great cruise! Love the sightseeing and the crew was very nice to us! I wish it was a little more organized before we get on the board; guests seems to be a bit confused by the check in system since we already brought tickets ahead of time. Pick up location was very easy to find but the need a banner or bigger sign to see their company name.

Good Boat Tour - I enjoyed the boat tour. We got to see a lot of beautiful sites. I think there could be some improvement for this tour. Maybe they could add commentary for each site we visit through the tour.

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.

Informative boat trip round bay - Good tour of guanabara Bay and specific landmarks. Good information provided in 3 languages. Spoiled by people standing and taking selfies. Didn't see the relevance of getting close to one of the party boats to wave to people.

AVOID ! NOT RECOMMENDED!! - I recently went on the Sightseeing Sunset Cruise, and I was extremely disappointed. We couldn't see anything because of the BAD WEATHER ,even when we asked to cancel and reschedule due to the fog ,rain and cold wind and overall darkness , but the tour agency insist that we can sail in this bad weather , therefore it was terrible experience , felt so unsafe.. To make matters worse, the crew was rude and unhelpful, which really ruined the trip. The boat itself was dirty, and the ride made several people, including myself, feel nauseous and sick. I wouldn't recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a pleasant experience.
