Fabio is the best - Fabio our tour guide was amazing. Definitely recommend the fast pass option if feasible. Early in the morning might be the best time. Was pure magic. If religious stay for the beautiful mass.

Stress Free Sightseeing - Fantastic way to start the trip with Fábio (guide) and Romulo (driver). We were able to hop off the plane and not worry about a thing. We had a great half day touring Christ The Redeemer and the Botanical Garden. Fábio added great commentary to our adventure and expertly navigated throughout. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting an stress-free way to see the sights and culture. We could’ve easily spent a full day exploring with this helpful duo.

Incredible day in Rio! - Would give six stars if I could!!! We had the most spectacular first day in Rio, thanks to Michael! His passion for this city is contagious. This was our first visit here and we wanted to cover a lot of territory. The day was seamless and we got to see so many of the iconic sites. Michael was very knowledgeable about the city and we learned so much as we drove around and during our stops. Michael showed up right on time at our hotel and we had a relaxing ride from stop to stop. He reccomended an excellent restaurant for lunch, where we had VIP treatment. Michael is very personable, social and well connected with the staff at every site we visited. We felt so safe and at ease the entire day. I highly recommend Michael and his team for your Rio visit!

Best way to see the highlights of Rio! - Our guide, Jean Carlos, was very protective of our group, always keeping our group together. He did a great job of getting us to the places we wanted to see and helped us get amazing photos. The only drawback was the restaurant choice.

Ok Rio Tour - First time in Rio. I will start by saying our tour guide Fabio and driver Romulo were both very nice and friendly. However, I don’t feel like this tour was worth the cost. I think it would have been cheaper to Uber around and see things on our own. We were talked into upgrading to a full day tour however we still only saw the 3 places that were guaranteed on the half day tour. When you factor in all the entry costs especially since they encourage you to get the fast passes, tour ends up being quite expensive. We also had to ask our tour guide lots of questions to get info on the stops. This was not like other tours I have done in other countries where the guide gives you a ton of information up front. Our tour guide and driver made us feel safe. Even though we asked to venture out on our own once the tour was done, the tour guide stayed with us until it was time for our return flight home.

Don’t go when overcast - The weather messed us up and we didn’t get to go to Christ. The weather can be helped, but all the fillers could have been. Boring. We saw so many churches. It gets old. Subbing part with some good vibes we have been great. Tour driver and guide were very good.
