Incredible tour of the river - The tour was amazing, we were picked up at the place and time combined, our guide was Cássio, who was amazing, super attentive and helpful. The tour is beautiful, left nothing to be desired, the lunch was amazing too, was worth every penny. Definitely indicate to everyone!

Full day, many impressions, a lot of knowledge and yet relaxed - A very nice day which passed quite relaxed despite a full program. Very pleasant atmosphere thanks to our super nice, open and omniscient guide Ana-Maria! She had background information, was always open to all questions and extremely motivated. A very good tour to get to know Rio and see the hotspots. Enough for own use, no stress. Through the bus ride you can also see a lot of Rio. Danke Ana-Maria

Excellent way to spend your first day in Rio - We had excellent time during the trip. Everything was well organized to see the best of Rio. Keep in mind they will collect you from the hotel 15-20 minutes later, this is cultural norm in Brasil

Bed tour guide Barbara - We had one day in Rio and we spent it with Barbara on the best tour of the city we ever could have asked for. We saw all of the things that we had hoped to see and more. It was so nice to not have to worry about getting around to all of these places and buying tickets on our own. Definitely worth the money. Barbara also was awesome and accommodating when it came to getting us off to the airport in time to catch our flight. She’s awesome!! We’re grateful we got her as our tour guide.

A perfect way to explore in 1 day - So much was covered in 1 day, excellent buffet lunch, thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Only downside, our hotel was outside the pick up area, so arrived at the designated point 15 mins early and pick up didn't arrive until 1 HR later

A full day in Rio. - Lovely guide. Very knowledgeable. But eventhough they say, English included, mostly in Portuguese & Spanish. You need to remind to repeat, & if they do you get bare minimum.
