Guide left one of the guests. The guest had to uber to meet us at lunch. We showed up to Christ The Redeemer at end of the day & she hadn’t purchased the tickets yet so they were sold out. Luckily we bought tickets from a man that only spoke Portugese & we were all allowed to go to Christ The Redeemer after all. We were reimbursed for the Christ The Redeemer tickets from Trip Advisor but it cost more to purchase the additional tickets thus out another $25 US dollars. Still love Rio but didn’t have a great guide….also loved the fellow travelers on the tour from all over the world due none of us knew each other but we became friends after spending 10 hours together….the world should be more like that where we all become friends.

Dishonest tour operator

They changed the tour from 8 hours to 4 hours citing traffic concerns. But there weee hardly any extra traffic beyond the usual. We paid for lunch plus the afternoon’s attractions and had to ask for a refund. The refunded only $25 from a $140 tour that is cut in half. Do not go with this company at all cost.

An unforgettable experience in Rio!

The tour to Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf was undoubtedly one of the most exciting experiences of my trip to Rio de Janeiro. From the very first moment, the organization proved impeccable: punctual guidance, comfortable transportation and detailed explanations along the way. The first stop at Christ the Redeemer, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, was simply breathtaking. Climbing the Corcovado and standing in front of the imposing statue with Rio lying at its feet is a moment that leaves you speechless. The panoramic view is spectacular and the guide was able to tell the story and the meaning of the monument in an engaging way. The tour then continued to Sugarloaf, another iconic symbol of the city. Riding the cable car is already an evocative experience, but the real show opens once you get to the top: the 360-degree view of Rio, Guanabara Bay, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, is something that will forever remain in your memory. A perfect balance between nature, history and breathtaking views. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio: it is the best way to discover two of its most emblematic places in a single, unforgettable day.
