Wonderful tour to see Rio’s highlights - Carla (our guide) and Thomas ( our driver) were wonderful. I learned so much from listening to Carla. Thomas was an excellent driver through some difficult paths. In addition, they both were empathetic to my mobility challenges doing everything they could so that I could fully enjoy the tour. Kudos to both!

Blue babies! 😊 - My sisters and I really enjoyed our tour! Alexia and Berlin were amazing tour guides. We had fun, and they did a great job giving us the history of each site we visited. The BBQ lunch was one of the best meals we had on our trip. I would recommend being ready and at your pick-up location 10 minutes prior to pick-up time so there are no issues being at the train station on time. This tour was definitely worth it and you'll be able to see all the historical sites in Rio !

Unbelievable Rio De Janeiro tour - Alexia was incredible, she knew every single persons name in the group instantly which i was impressed by. This tour is amazing, i was only in Rio for 1 day and i wanted to see everything and this tour is exactly that, we seen everything in Rio, the sugarloaf mountain views were out of this world. Alexia was so passionate about her city and that really showed on the tour, her knowledge was above and beyond. I also wanted this tour as all the sights are far from each other to walk, we kept hopping on and off the bus which was great, this is the only way i could have seen everything in 1 day. So thank you so much. I can’t recommend this tour enough one of the best things i have ever done and what a beautiful city!!

Highlights of Rio - We only had 2 days in Rio and wanted a trip that would cover the highlights. We were not disappointed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. It was crowded at the various stops, but that was to be expected ( it was on a Saturday and a cruise ship was in port). No regrets, enjoyed our day. Tour lasted about 8 hours, including pick up and drop off.

If you love waiting... - Waiting , waiting, waiting. This was a very poor tour; disorganized, unhelpful, uninformative. Had to wait until an hour before pickup to get pickup time, then they were 50 minutes late as I stood on street. First stop: a souvenir shop, one of many. Granted, these tourist stops are busy but we spent most of trip waiting while guide tried to find people, buy tickets, find driver, ("Wait at that souvenir shop.") Guide was singularly uninformative ("Look we are on old cobblestones. There are many nice people who live around here. Now we are entering a tunnel. That's a church."). Even the van between stops was poor-- very high seat backs obstructed 90 percent of the view. Definitely one of the worst I've been on.
