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!
