Great way to know Rio in an afternoon. - My son and I were in Rio for a short 3 day visit and we decided to do the Gray Line Tour 1/2 day. The tour guide Luis and the driver Mauricio were wonderful. They made us feel like we were getting a personalized tour. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their jobs. I do recommend you take this tour or a longer one if your time permits.

Everything I expected and more! - I went with my friends for this tour and we had a flight to leave at 4:45pm (we had enough time to make it back before leaving to the airport). When we got to Christ the Redeemer it was so foggy that we weren't able to see anything unfortunately. My friends were late, and Ian was still wonderful. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and was able to make the best of our trip despite our circumstances. I would have loved to complete the full day tour, but he accommodated our schedule. We loved him and the tour!

Seleron Steps and Christ the Redeemer are not to be missed. - The tour guide was not informed of the correct itinerary and it was foggy at the Christ the Redeemer Statue. However, he was flexible and he rearranged the sites so we saw everything. The tour guide, Jose, was very good, however the vehicle he was driving left a lot to be desired.
