Excellent tour! - The experience was great! We combined in a meeting point, the driver and Guide super polite and animated, besides visiting the sights, whenever we passed through some relevant place, the Guide told us about the history of the place and / or some curiosity. I was always attentive to everyone, the walks were light, nothing tired or that thing of waiting long. The indicated restaurant was very tasty, had an option for all tastes and I am already curious to know the other tours they offer! Congratulations!!

Perfect quick hot spots - Joao and Marcelo were the best. Joao knew an incredible amount and was the perfect tour guide! The tour itself hit a lot of high notes but didn’t feel dragged-out. Recommend!

The most special things Rio has to offer in one day! - Wonderful experience! The staff was super courteous and punctual, guide João explained various parts of Rio's history and the names of the places, which made the tour more interesting. The experience passes through the main points of Rio and allows you to have an overview of the city in a different way. It's so worth it!

Best Tour Company in RJ - The Big Dude Tour is one of their best tours. Fantastic team. Everyone was very attentive. The Guide knew absolutely everything about Rio de Janeiro. I recommend Brazil Expedition with my eyes closed!

terrible experience for tourists at the Corcovado christ, pao de acucar, jadin botanico and copacabana beaches. ipanema etc. - the fabulous monuments in rio de janeiro were terrible and I will explain why: Both in the Christ the Redeemer of Corcovado, as well as in the pao de acucar mountain, the botanical garden, and the beaches copacabana, ipanema etc. the staff that attends none of them speak any language other than portuguese. It is a pity that the tourist office that manages these emblematic monuments does not have people who at least know English and Spanish (languages of the tourists they receive the most). Neither in the ticket offices, nor in the restaurants, nor the assistance staff speak any other language. For tourists coming from outside Brazil to visit these monuments it is very difficult to communicate and everyone gets very annoyed. The same thing happens in airports, tourist trains, etc. It is terrible that the Ministry of Tourism does not put trained people to assist the tourists. They urgently need bilingual and helpful staff, the service in Brazil is one of the WORST in Latin America. So if you are a tourist who is going to visit Brazil, go well prepared with a good translator or local friends to help you, otherwise you will have a terrible vacation.
