A little bit rushed and some stops are literally just a stop for a minute

Overall good tour and we were lucky with the weather, but felt a but rushed a few times. The 2 stadium stops are basically useless, you get about 5 minutes infront of the football stadium to see it from the outside and the sambodromo only from the car. I personally would have rather used that time to stay longer on sugar loaf or up next to the redeemer. The tour guide was good, but because of her english not too informative. Once again overall we got what we expected, but could have been better

This was my second time...

This was my second time visiting Rio. During my first visit, I did not take a tour, but this time I chose a guided experience and really enjoyed the convenience and freedom of having someone else drive us around and handle the logistics. I traveled with my family, and they also really enjoyed the tour. We were able to relax, take in the sights, and even made new friends with others on the van, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Well timed and well organised

Managed to see all the main attractions in one day. The tour takes a full day so it is not rushed. The lunch break is timed well. Whole tour was in English.

Can’t recommend enough

I wasn’t going to go on this trip due to unforeseen circumstances but so SO glad and thankful I did….Julia (St Julia) as I have named her, as she’s an absolute legend in my heart and eyes I really can’t express what and how she came through for me on this day and it had it’s moments for her as well but she handled everything with ease and professionalism The tour was great…her English was better than mine…very good all round amazing tour guide but for me she was my photographer translator problem solver and time keeper and my not so serious companion a lot of the time Thanks for being you and what you do especially for what you did for me THANK YOU xxx

Fantastic.

Fantastic experience in knowing Rio de Janeiro, with the City Rio tourism team, the guide Lorraine and the driver (Xuxu), incredible super animated and helpful staff in everything. A very lively day with great astral people.

Complete tour of Rio

They picked us up on time; we arrived 1 minute late, but Gizele Fernandes, the tour guide, called us. She was excellent in Spanish and Portuguese and explained every detail of the tour. We went to the Metropolitan Cathedral, Sugarloaf Mountain with a cable car ascent, Selarón Steps, Maracanã, Buffet, and Christ the Redeemer.

Decent day out

Overall pretty decent day! The only issue was the weather but you can’t fault the tour guide for that. Hitting the main highlights in Rio. the only issue I had was one of the other people on the trip, wouldn’t stop moaning about everything. (British woman called Alice). For me if one person is ruining for other people, they need to be kicked off.
