A day long trip - A life long memory! - I had an amazing experience. Starting from Booking the trip till my drop at hotel, everything was perfectly planned. Eduardo was our tour guide and he was the best. I highly recommend this trip to all those who are new in the city and don’t know local language. They know their job better.

The real private and personalized tour - As corny as it sounds Ederson is definitely the best guider in Rio. I spent a couple of days in Rio with my family and spoke with many agencies trying to personalize our experience which sounded impossible until I come across Ederson that not only promised to accommodate our needs but delivered it gracefully! His energy is out of this world and by the end of the day we were already considering him as part of the family. He’s very professional, highly knowledgeable and educated about the historical history of every attraction and thanks to him we didn’t spend half of the day in endless lines he new the exactly windows to avoid the crowds.

Overall a good tour to... - Overall a good tour to see the highlights of Rio in 1 day. Loved visiting Sugarloaf Mountain and obviously Christ the Redeemer. The Selarón stairs were also cool and unique, and the Catedral Metropolitana was beautiful inside. The Maracana and Sambódromo Marquês de Sapucaí were modestly interesting. For us, the experience lasted from 8:30am-6:30pm, but the actual tour was from 10am-5:30pm. Unfortunately since our hotel was in Copacabana, we were the first to be picked up and last to be dropped off, so we waited 1.5 hours in the bus while the others were getting picked up, then we waited 1 hour after the tour ended to be dropped off. The tour guide provided a brief summary of each attraction, but I was left wanting to learn more. It seemed like she didn’t speak English well, since it was hard to understand her, and she would speak mostly in Portuguese with the other people in the group. The time spent in each location was reasonable - maybe a little more time at Sugarloaf would be better. Halfway through the tour, a buffet lunch was provided (drinks and desserts not included). The buffet was a little crowded with other tours. There was an interesting variety, but food quality was just average.

Nice visit but organization to review - We lost almost 1h30 to pick up 2 people in the center of Rio to start the tour with the sugar loaf to the south. Very very average meal taken at 3:30 pm!!!

Worst tour ever - The tour guy was all over the place he didn’t know what he was doing, we had to keep looking for him all the time. Didn’t follow the tour schedule. He got into an arguments with more than 5 people in the group, again this tour was the worst tour ever. He kept rushing the people to do what he wanted, the tour was so bad that not one person from the 18 that we had in the group gave him a tip.
