Surpassed my expectations. Geissa Barreto is the best! - This was the best tour of Rio that anyone can take! Some of the participants were rude to the tour guide, but the tour guide kept it all under control. I really enjoyed everything we saw. we did the entire tour in eight hours by cutting lines and having a tour guide that is time efficient. I could not imagine seeing everything in that short amount of time if there were no time limits like the ones our guide set. I did not want to go to the buffet because I thought it was going to be a buffet outside, and I also do not eat meat but the vegan and pescatarian options at the restaurant buffet were amazing. It is basically all you can eat. This is the best part of my trip to Brazil! Geissa Barreto is the best tour guide in Brazil 🥰

Great way to view the city! - As a couple, we had a great time on this tour getting to see the famous parts of Rio. We find this is the most efficient way to view multiple landmarks in a day. Would recommend if you are looking for something to spend your day with.

What an incredible day - What an incredible day! Brazil has so many beautiful icons surrounded by mountains. Their urban forest is exceptional. Our guide was so informative, she made sure we learnt everything there was to know and she took great pictures of us at each icon. Definitely value for money. Can’t recommend this enough!

Worth it! - Just spent today with this group. We had an amazing day and saw everything. Matthew was a great guide and explained everything we needed. The group was small which was great as we got to know each other a little. Rio is amazing and even better as you get to discover it with this amazing company. Thank you

See much of Rio in one go - This was the perfect thing to do on our first day. We drove all around Rio to see the sites, and our tour guide gave us background on the city along the way.

Cara made it a fun day out in Rio - Sugar loaf mountain was the highlight and I unexpectedly enjoyed the cathedral. Didn’t get into the Sambadrone so the tour description needs updated as there is no paid entry. Our guide - Cara- was delightful and coped well with selfish guests who were habitually late back. Lunch was disappointing. I think on balance I would probably have preferred the half day tour!

Excellent Guide but Long Day - Our tour guide and driver were excellent. The scheduling by the company was terrible. They sent a text saying our pick up was 8:30 but then came at 6:45 am. They never informed us of this time. Our tour guide handled the mix up well but I would say C2Rio is not very organized.make sure you double check pick up time. Otherwise the tour was great. It is a very long day and you only have a brief time at each location. You should bring water and snacks as none is provided. The lunch buffet was good and had vegetarian options. Our guide got us in first so that helped. Overall this is an excellent way to see a lot in a short time.

Hours Waiting - Signed up for the full tour on the early dates before official carnival. Our van broke down in first hour, we had two passengers that shouldn't have been on the tour, three parts of the trip cancelled due to street closure, and spent over two hours over the course of the day waiting for our appropriate ride. We even had a few passengers finally abort by taxi before the day was complete.

Good guide, but tour a bust. - The guide was good but the weather was terrible and therefore going to Sugarloaf and Corcovado are a bust. When it’s cloudy and especially when it’s raining, you cannot see anything. Our group didn’t even go to Corcovado due to rain. As for the lunch, it’s mediocre at best. You’re probably better off going to Sugarloaf and Corcovado on your own. Taking Uber etc. this way you can pick your day/time when weather is clearer. You don’t really need a guide to see them. And there’s not much else to see on this tour besides the two main attractions. The stadium stop is nothing. Five minutes to take a picture of exterior.
