Excellent choice! Daniel was a kind and knowledgeable tour guide who took great care of the group. Christ the Redeemer and the Selarón steps are magnificent. Most of us are in Rio for the Cowboys and Ravens game so it was sweet treat to stop by the stadium!
Publio was an excellent guide. If every guide at C2Rio is like him you’re in good hands. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to earn a Five Star review. Would definitely do this again.
Alexia is a very good guide, very kind and very attentive. Excellent

It’s a very good tour. Although the pick-up time was slightly late, it was not the driver’s fault at all. The driver, by the way, was awesome.
