Once in a lifetime experience - The tour was incredible and it was a unique experience, the Christ is wonderful, when you get up there you are left with no reaction, because the view of the imposing image of Jesus is fantastic, it is something surreal!!! And besides, there are other tourist attractions in the city, they are worth checking out!!!

Having a guide saves you time and money. - We took photos, the guide is very friendly and patient, the landscape is sensational on the way up, not just when you get there. The restaurant where we had lunch is very good too.

A fantastic way to see some of Rio's best attractions! - We chose to split our sightseeing into a few different half day tours - to reduce the risk of missing everything because of Rio's temperamental weather and did this one first, so that if the weather wasn't in our favour, we could try again another day. As it was, it was overcast and raining at the start of the day. That also meant that we had to wait around at 4 or 5 hotels for no-shows that hasn't bothered to cancel - which unfortunately made us quite late starting. The upside of that was, after we'd visited the city sights, the weather cleared as we wound our way up through the beautiful streets of Santa Teresa and some of the other historic suburbs, we found that almost everyone else had decided not to visit Corcovado on the day - and had the place almost to ourselves, with the exquisite 360° views, in what was then the most brilliant weather. The guide was fantastic, the commentary from start to finish was excellent, informative, friendly and in a number of different languages - all clear. We might have started late, but we still had our 4 hour half day tour, which was absolutely fantastic!

Very good experience - Great experience, you see the places a little in fits and starts but if you have little time you can do a lot! Take out the half day tour option. They picked me up at 9am at the Hilton and brought me back at 4pm. This excursion is shared with people who do the entire day (the only difference with that tour is that they take you to the sugar loaf and it has lunch included) they take you to lunch at a lapa to a food house x peso (not included for whoever He took the half day tour but for 25-30Reales you eat)

Unique and exciting travel experience - If you’re looking for a unique and exciting travel experience, the Corcovado and Rio de Janeiro tour is for you! The tour is very complete and it is easy to get around and see all the highlights. The tour offers enough time to explore on your own, but there’s also always something interesting to do when with a group. With its history and lush nature, Corcovado is a great place to spend a day. On the other hand, Rio de Janeiro is known for its Carnival celebrations – so there will be plenty of opportunity to party.
