Great tour. Brilliant guide - The tour was great. First a trip to Palácio - Parque Lage. Great place for photos with Christ the redeemer on the mountain behind. Then on to Tijuca Forest. Great waterfalls and wildlife. Best of all Ederson was great guide. Engaging and enthusiastic. He had great knowledge of the area and history. He was brilliant at ensuring we got the most from the tour and keen to notice what we were interested in and adapt to our needs. Would highly recommend Ederson - he made the tour great.

Great tour - Great tour, Ederson made sure to show us all the parts of the rainforest and made sure we were comfortable! We got to see an extra waterfall that wasn’t on the original list. Highly recommend!

Amazing & relaxing 1/2 day tour! - My husband and I loved this 1/2 day tour. He was so knowledgeable and let us spend as much time as we wanted at each spot thru the Tijuca Forest. The highlights were Parque Lage ( he walked us through the awesome forest & had a drink in the gorgeous old mansion) , the Chinese lookout had the most amazing view and we got to watch about 20 monkeys swinging thru the trees, Emperor's lookout, and the Cascatinha waterfall were all so beautiful!! Our tour guide was such a great guy, we had a blast!!! 😊

A Beautiful Nature Adventure - The most amazing day!! Had so much fun on this tour! I usually never book tours but was short on time and this was so worth it I’m so glad I booked with Ederson! He was so friendly, thoughtful and knowledgeable about every place he showed us! He drove out of his way to pick us up from our hotel. Took a peaceful drive through the forest. We saw several waterfalls forest animals and gorgeous view after gorgeous view. My favorite was Parque Lage so much fun roaming the historic grounds and beautiful plants and buildings! Wish I had more time to book another tour with him!! Definitely recommend!!

Avoid at all costs! - There is no zero stars allowed. We have used Viator a lot across the world and this is the first time that the tour operator did not turn up, message us or acknowledge our messages. I hope that all is well but my advice is simple - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR OR USE THIS OPERATOR! This spoilt our last day in Rio.

Don't waste your time - So move on! When I see the other comments they must have gone through an excellent guide because we saw nothing of what the others showed in the comments. We saw a waterfall and a view and were shown around a dilapidated building that supposedly is a museum. Don't waste your time!
