A great tour but hope for nice weather.
Most enjoyable and interesting day. Newton was a great guide, very helpful. The fast track at Sugar Loaf was a huge benefit. The only issue was the weather with clouds obscuring some of the views and definitely could not see the sunset, but just bad luck.
Operator response

Expensive rip off
Very overpriced for what it was. We paid nearly £200 for something that should have been less than half that. The meeting point was inconvenient - when I'd booked initially I'd checked it was near our hotel - the place was changed before the trip. For nearly £100 each I'd have expected water and food to be supplied. Let me be clear, £100 each got us entry to Christ Redeemer, and Sugarloaf mountain, plus transfers. To do this by simply paying the tickets and using Uber would have been a fraction of the price and far more relaxed. The guide, whilst pleasant, didn't really do anything other than make sure we got on and off the mini bus. No guided tour. No commentary whilst travelling.
Please also note that due to viator being compromised, my credit card was frozen.
The booking staff at the tour place were good, but all in all an utter rip off and would not recommend at all.
Operator response
Dear Samantha,
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations.
We understand your concerns regarding the meeting point, the services included, and the level of guidance provided during the tour. However, after reviewing the booking, we confirmed that only the Copacabana neighborhood was provided. Therefore, the pickup was assigned to the designated meeting point in that area. We’re glad that you were able to contact our team and, despite arriving late, successfully meet the guide. We also appreciate your positive comments about our booking team and will share them accordingly. Regarding the issue with your credit card, we are sorry to hear about the inconvenience and hope that Viator provided the necessary assistance in resolving the matter.
Thank you again for your honest feedback.

Jalbeir was a great tour...
Jalbeir was a great tour guide and very informative. He provided us with plenty of interesting information and gave us a set amount of time to explore each location on our own, which we really appreciated.
The only downside was that there was no designated time for lunch, so we had to grab some snacks while visiting the Selarón Steps.
Other than that, the tour was great, and we really enjoyed the experience.
Operator response
Dear traveler,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to hear that Jalbeir’s knowledge and informative approach enriched the tour, while the free time allowed you to explore each location at your own pace. We’ll gladly share your compliments with him.
Thank you for choosing us. We’re glad you enjoyed the tour overall and hope to welcome you again in Rio!
