Express tour

Unfortunately not had the full day due to road closures at Copacabana due to New Year's Eve. Too bad they're offering this tour. Guide spoke sufficient English and took good account of us 2 as the only non-native speakers. So the express tour done today and this one was definitely worth it.

Operator response

Dank u wel voor het delen van uw ervaring. Het spijt ons zeer dat het niet mogelijk was om de volledige dagtour uit te voeren vanwege de wegafsluitingen in Copacabana in verband met Oud en Nieuw. Wij begrijpen dat dit teleurstellend voor u was en bieden hiervoor onze oprechte excuses aan. Helaas lagen deze omstandigheden buiten onze controle, maar we begrijpen uw opmerking dat dit invloed heeft gehad op de oorspronkelijke verwachting van de tour. We waarderen het zeer dat u desondanks flexibel was en de express tour heeft kunnen doen. We zijn blij om te horen dat de gids voldoende Engels sprak, goed rekening hield met u als anderstaligen en dat u de express tour alsnog de moeite waard vond. Uw feedback is erg belangrijk voor ons en helpt ons om onze communicatie en planning verder te verbeteren. Nogmaals onze excuses voor het ongemak, en we hopen u in de toekomst opnieuw te mogen verwelkomen voor een volledige en zorgeloze ervaring.

Full day small group Rio tour

Loved the small group and personal tour with Pierre. We were met at the cruise port and taken to all of the amazing Rio sites from 9am-7pm. Had front of the line passes to move right along, which was a treat!

Excellent day trip both ways flight from São Paulo to Rio De Janerio

We had planned a day trip by flight both ways from São Paulo to Rio De Janerio, English fluent speaking guide cum driver Leandro Farias of Tangerine Tours was excellent from pickup at airport, all local sightseeing at Rio De Janerio , ticket booked avoiding queue , advising and taking photos where to be taken and late evening drop to airport all done at reasonable price would advise anyone to use him for a great experience

Operator response

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear that your day trip from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro was a smooth and enjoyable experience. Leandro Farias will be thrilled to know his efforts made such a positive impression — from the airport pickup to the sightseeing, ticket assistance, and photos! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the future. 🌟✈️🌴
