          Really bad experience
          Do NOT book with this company. We booked a trip from Rio to Ilha Grande. Departure at 12h. Few weeks after booking the trip was postponed by the company with 45min. At moment of arrival in the airport in Rio (pick-up location), we got a text estimating pick-up time at 2pm (which was still acceptable for us, as in the voucher a time window was given). However at 2pm, we got a text the driver would be 'a few minutes' later... After another 30min, we asked where the driver was. Then we got a text the driver would be late for another 50min! We waited patiently. But only at 4.20pm the driver came: more than 4h after the initial booked pick-up moment. Afterwards, we still had to pick-up other people and drove around in Rio for another 1.5h! So we left Rio at little before 6pm... When finally arriving in the harbour close to Ilha Grande, where normally a ferry would be: it was already 8.30pm, completely dark and abandond. (Last ferry leaves at 6.30pm.) We were passed on to a 'middle man'. During this whole time, we had little or no information as the driver and middle man could not speak English. Also the company dit not give much information. Just the text: 'We were informed that the ship has already embarked. Thank you for your patience and have a good trip.' Seriously? Finally, al little before 9pm, we were put on a small speedboat, without life vests in stormy weather, and driven by a teenager, to go to Ilha Grande with the rest of the people of our van. Really scared and not save. Thank God we made it to Ilha Grande alive.

          Ranked #1 for a reason
          Transfer did a great job. We went as a group of friends and did the VIP Transfer and could not have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for seamless, hassle free, pick up, delivery, and coordination, then I recommend Top Transfer. They have friendly staff, know the locals and how to arrange activities, and were clearly experienced at doing this. I can see why they are ranked #1. Thanks Top Transfer for enabling us to relax and enjoy our experience at Ilha Grande!

          Bus and boat transfer to Ihla Grande plus boat tours of the island.
          Had an absolutely outstanding experience with Top Transfer. They were on time, and made sure that we were informed and felt safe. They provided excellent customer service and were happy to answer all of our questions. They really wanted to make sure that we had fun and experienced all that Brazil had to offer. A huge part of the success of our trip was our experience with Top Transfer. Highly recommend!!!!

          Efficient, reliable transfer service
          I spent ages trying to find a transfer between Rio and Ilha Grande, as so many had mixed reviews. Top Transfer provided a very efficient service. We received communication the evening before pick up to confirm what time the driver would arrive. In the morning, they confirmed the driver was in his way and he arrived on time. We were driven to a Dock that was super quiet, it was only our minibus and one other there to get the boat, so it was all quick and efficient. The way back was also on time and we'll organised. My only tip is to check the price quoted. I had seen another tour company selling the transfer, with the price advertised on their website. I saw it was operated by Top Transfer, so I decided to contact them directly. They originally quoted a higher price than I had seen elsewhere. Once I queried it, the price was reduced. So do your research!

          A very unreliable experience on two different holiday trips
          This organisation is a disaster for the second time! First of all we ordered a bus for later in the day and because the company changed the time to 7am with very short notice, we had to skip our morning tour + we had no opportunity for anything to drink or eat at our hotel before the 7h ride to Rio, which it showed us originally would take half the time to get there in the first place. Then we had to change cars so quickly twice and the driver took out our luggage, forgetting my little backpack before loading it with the new passengers luggage. They then let me know later that this bag has stayed behind and it will come to Rio with the next shuttle. Suddenly then, they message us it's only for 50 real and we said even okay to that, even though we were not so happy. Now the backpack arrived in the hotel early one morning and my only more valuable thing is not in there anymore (my speakers) Also last year we used Top Transfer, because there is not really another way to get to ilha grande by public transport.. they dropped us off where we were supposed to get a boat to pick us up which never happened and we waited hours until it got dark. In the end we paid some guys to bring us over instead. It is the last time I use Top Transfer and I will let other people know about this miserable service.

          booking experience
          so far so good. I will go there in APR so I hope that the transport service (private) will be as good as my booking experience. I did it via whats app and Vanessa S from Top transfer was really helpful and patient. All went really well and no issues.

          Ilha Grande - GIG airport
          Used Top Transfer to get from Ilha Grande to GIG airport and was a brilliant service. Renata was amazing at helping us decide which was the best time to leave and advised us best time to leave to get to the airport. Took the time to translate into English for us, and double checked we understood everything throughout. She has great customer service skills and is a credit to the company. Ended up going back to book other day trips on the island with Top Transfer because of this, and I would highly recommend to anyone for the high convenience and ease.

          Messed up my booking which made me miss my connection, did not offer any compensation for their mess up.
          They messed up my booking, added me to transfer that would miss the ferry. There was no chance to make the connection. I ended up traveling the whole day (taking evening ferry). They did not apologize or offer any compensation instead kept blaming me until I eventually proved that it's their mistake. I highly recommend arranging the regular bus and ferry yourself - in such way you're in control of the connection, it's much cheaper and more comfortable (my van did not even have an aircon working).

          Best customer service!
          Best service ever! My booking from an external provider wasn't received in the system at Ilha Grande but Jan was on hand to book me on the next available boat back to Rio de Janeiro so I could get to the airport on time. She went above what was required and I am very thankful for her work! Recommend!!

          Amazing service!
          Renata at Ilha Grande office was extremely helpful. We made a mistake with the booking and she helped us to correct the booking and go back to Rio in time. Can’t say how much grateful I am for her help.

          Professional staff ... good and efficient
          We booked one way transfer from Ihla Grande to Barra de Tijuca shared transfer. They have their own boat ( way better that the one we took it when we went to Ihla and better coordination and polite/helpful staff. A sedan waited for us and all 4 passengers who were heading to Barra . The minivan was going to Copacabana and another sedan somewhere else . Total 3 stops for our group, very fast and efficient. Would do it again.

          Maryane Alves, She arranged a complete roundtrip from Ipanema to Angra, Abraão and back To Ipanema with comfortable transport in a comfortable group shuttle. Her communication was excellent and got us to Ilha 🏝️ Grande with ease and comfort. I will definitely travel with Top Transfer in the future as the whole process was seamless and easy. Muito obrigado Maryane & Top Transfer, Valeu abraço 🤙🏼

        Transfer logistics ran smoothly and as described. There is a 25 min stop which is spot on to go toilet, grab a bite etc.

        Only reason I'm not giving. 5 stars was because the driver was constantly checking his phone while driving and also driving too fast.

        I'm ok with this as it's very Latin driving manners. But thought of letting people know.

        Our experience with Top Transfer was exceptional. They were very timely, made sure that we were informed and safe. And overall they provided excellent customer service. I could not believe how personal and kind they were. The staff really wanted to make sure that you enjoyed your entire stay in Brazil. Our trip was largely a success because of the great experience with Top Transfer!!!!!
