I wanted to see and do it all. This package made it possible. I saw things I’ve always wanted to see (Christ the Redeemer), I saw things I’ve never heard of (SugarLoaf Mountain), and I saw things for the first time (Selaron Steps), and then more….fantastic! The tour was informative and the guide gave you time and space to explore.

I wanted to give this 2 stars but we did get make it to all of the destinations eventually. Anyways, our tour bus was 2 hours late and their excuse was because they were having difficulty adding someone in a wheelchair on the bus. For one, the listing clearly says "Not wheelchair accessible" and two, NO ONE was in a wheelchair when they finally did arrive. It was a lie. Our meeting point was near the Selaron steps which we did not know until our tour guide told us to go take some photos and be back in 10min while he finds some other guests. If we would've known that, we would've been over there but at this time, you couldn't even see the steps. Way too many people by then! Plus the whole point of a tour guide is to talk about the destination, monument etc but that didn't happen. We finally end up leaving 2.5 hours after the scheduled meetup time and we notice the tour guide STILL is not saying anything. We basically had a driver and not really an informative guide. He actually didn't start talking until maybe 5-6 hours into the tour towards the end We also started to notice that people started to trickle off of the tour because it was just THAT unorganized PLUS we noticed he was appearing and disappearing. Apparently we had a bus of other people behind us and the tour guide was hopping back and forth between buses! When he finally did start talking about destinations, it was in Portuguese. He barely acknowledged my friend and I who had clearly confirmed and asked for an English guide. Sometimes he would blend English in there but it was 95% Portuguese. We also ended up being late for the lunch buffet and literally got there at closing. They were nice enough to let us in but at that same time, it wouldn't have been a smart move to shut off consistent business with the touring company so I didn't really feel any gratitude towards it. Also, I'm not sure if this is on Viator or the company but it allows you to add in dietary restrictions and I added my friend was vegan. There was barely anything for my friend to eat at this buffet. I told the company and they stated that they don't accommodate dietary restrictions. Then WHY is there a box that says to fill in any dietary accommodations?? Overall it was highly unorganized from the start and we didn't really receive any historic dialogue on anything but we did make it to each destination.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize for the inconveniences you faced during the tour and will forward your feedback to our operational team. During the high season, heavy traffic and the large number of clients can cause delays, which may have impacted your experience. Regarding communication and the guide, we will do our best to improve clarity and support for all requested languages. We appreciate you bringing the buffet and dietary options issues to our attention, and we will look into this matter as well. Your feedback is crucial for us to improve our services.
Great day. Got to see Christ the Redeemer and Sugar loaf mountain. Tour would have been better if it was a single language group, if doable
