River seen by the sea, very good! - Knowing Rio from a different perspective was very cool. The tour is pretty, and you can see the Museum of Tomorrow, the city of Niterói, the Candelaria. Amei!

Alex the wonderful - Alex from the Windsor California in Rio de Janiero went out of his way to make our stay great and easier. He stored our bags prior to our check-in, got us a ride, and had a lunch packed for us since we were leaving prior to breakfast hours. What an asset! Kudos for hiring such a wonderful employee.

Great two hour boat trip. - Louis was a great guide. He turned up at the hotel exactly on time to accompany us on the boat trip which is highly recommended. Angela was the boat guide and spoke English very well.

Excellent tour of the Bay - Excellent boat tour of Guanabara Bay in a 16’ speed boat carrying 8 clients plus 3 crew. There was plenty of room on the boat to move around and the guide was good without talking non-stop. He was knowledgeable and very helpful. Ian was his English name and he was pleasant in every way. This is a nice change from the on-land tours of the city and an opportunity to see Rio from the vantage point of the bay. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. There wasn’t a bunch of fluff added to the tour like a visit to a cheap souvenir shop!

Great start to our visit to Rio - Hotel pick ups worked well and we had an English speaking guide throughout. The cruise lasts two hours on a mid sized boat. I think it can take about 100 but we were in a group of 50 and lots of room. The crew made fresh fruit cocktails that were very good. The sights are fantastic and the guide pointed out places of interest. We also had lunch which was very good quality too. Overall a very enjoyable five hours.

2 hours of beautiful scenic views in comfortable sailing ship - So relaxing and great view of the bay. The boat tour is 2 hours and we went in a beautiful old time sailing ship. We had our own tour guide Siggy, who is knowledgable and informative, which was good since the sound in the loudspeakers in the boat was rather poor and it was hard to make out what the official boat tour guide was saying.

Relaxing way to get a different perspective of Rio - We really enjoyed this 2-hour trip. The views of Rio and the city on the other side of the bridge are great. It's always nice to get a different perspective of a city. Saw lots of flying fish and frigate birds.

Poor tour worst lunch - Tour guide too touchy and meal at lunch had two hairs in my food. Would not recommend. Cruise was very slow with basically no explaination.

Boring - Stated as a 5 hour trip, yet you get actually less than 2 hours on the boat that slowly goes round the bay, not sure what I expected but it really was a waste of a morning. Our tour guide who picked us up was excellent though from gray lines and lunch was top notch
