Booked the Redeemer tour with a stop at the souvenir shop. Two items on the itinerary. The tour company combined tour packages they started the city tour prior to seeing a world wonder. We had time to stop at a stadium for everyone to get out and take pictures if they wanted to but we were not allowed to shop for souvenirs. Traveled thousands of miles to see a world wonder… seriously disappointed I couldn’t even shop for magnets.

A total disappointment
The whole experience was poor, advertised a 0800 time slot which suited our needs perfectly but this was changed to 12 noon. My day was planned around a 8 am start. Not impressed. Offered a free city tour as compensation, on a mini bus you could not see out of and 3 stops, a church- nice, the steps already seen them and the gates to a closed football stadium, great city tour.

On top of Corcovado
Rick is an excellent guide. He provided us with a lot of information during the tour to Christ the Redeemer. Very kind and friendly. The experience itself was superb; it was a beautiful experience to be at the top of Corcovado.

Did not hold original itinerary.
Our trip began by basically picking everyone up in a 16 passenger van from various locations in the city hotels. Ursula was our tour guide. The van ride up the mountain was extremely bouncy. The road was rough and had many twist and turns. Suggest if you take this don't eat before getting on this ride. You might throw up. We had to get off the one van and transfer onto another bc the CTR christ the redeemer had their own vans that go up. Once you arrive you are herded towards a ticket area where the gift shop is located. She hands everyone their ticket. Hold onto it you'll need it to get out. You only really have like 20-30 minutes to take pictures. Its crowded as can be expected. Even though the time slot allotted said 2 hours tour and 30 minutes for the gift shop. Once we met back to the bottom of thr CTR stairs. Ursala contacted the driver right away not allowing us to have any time for the gift shop. She apologized and said if she had known sooner she wouldn't have called the shuttle driver. This was upsetting because my daughter really wanted to get some souvenirs as it was our very first time in Brazil and this was the only real thing she wanted to do. The Fact that Ursala did not keep the original itinerary was deceiving and upsetting. If you want more time for pictures and scenic view just do a different tour. Then after CTR we had to drop a few people to another tour for sugar loaf, where she left with that tour group and the rest of us who only booked for CTR were returned to our original hotel starting point. I would recommend doing the train up and down and not feel rushed and nauseated from the bouncy and winding road trip and maybe even have more time to do so at a leisurely pace. You live and learn.

Falsely advertised- moved to a different tour without being informed
I booked the Christ the redeemer tour only. They picked us up at the hotel and then proceeded to pick the remainder of the group over 2.5 hours. Once all members were picked up, we were notified by the tour guide that we were actually part of a longer tour that included more sites even though we only booked Christ the redeemer. The duration of the tour is listed as approximately 3 hours but we were with the tour group from 7:45 AM to 1:30 PM. This activity is falsely advertised. We were moved to the wrong tour which added many extra stops and we missed our next activity because of this.
