About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- laurentc6510 contributionsGreat tour of Christ the RedeemerGreat tour of the sugarloaf mountain and Christ the Redeemer. Our guide, Bruna Gonçalves, was informative and attentive. A great day discovering the two great landmarks of Rio de Janeiro.Written 21 January 2025
- R S0 contributionsGreat guideTerrific guide, great driver! Anna Maria was so much fun and was a great guide we thoroughly enjoyed our day. The sights and views were superb. Always felt safe with Fabienneo driving. Not sure if I spelt that right. The communication before hand, and response time was very good.Written 20 January 2025
- Yoskke0 contributionsMore that meets the eyeTo get there from the ipanema or Copacabana beach, you can take a Bus, Taxi or Uber. For most of the trail it’s even and flat. In The center close to the main entrance there is a beautiful building, were most visitors take selfies plus there’s a cafe where you can take a break and enjoy a meal.Written 18 January 2025
- 221caitlinr0 contributionsFantastic Tour GuideOur tour guide was Priscilla and she was an absolute queen! The tour ended up just being 2 people (my partner and I) and Priscilla was so nice about taking only 2 people to see the sights. She was a very knowledgeable tour guide and a lovely person who went above and beyond to tell us many interesting things about Brazil. She was also a great personal photogtapher for us! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a nice calm morning seeing some of Rio's attractions. The busiest part was the Museum of Tomorrow, but was still worth the lines. Thanks Priscillia!Written 17 January 2025
- CathM2220 contributionsWe got to know Rio in a day!Prompt pick up at hotel. Knowledgeable tour guide Flávio. Great driver. Felt safe. Answered all our questions. Time to look around as well as guided. Very good bbq lunch and we were ready for a break in the middle of the day! Learnt about history of the area and how Rio has evolved over the years. Would strongly recommendWritten 15 January 2025
- Corinna S0 contributionsGreat tourWe had a great time witj our guide Matthew who explained a lot about the different sight seeing spots, shared a lot of information about the favelas and Santa Teresa. Really enjoyed it😊Written 13 January 2025
- CanadaMatt6150 contributionsGreat tour and tour guideDaniel was the best tour guide that you could have ever hoped for! He’s knowledgeable, attentive and made the tour a joy for everyone.Written 9 January 2025
- jeski10 contributionsPerfect 1st time Rio Vistor TourGreat experience. They picked us up at our Hotel the Grand Mercure on Copacabana, they parked along Avenida Atlantica and walked into the lobby to get us which was quick, and similar for the other travelers they picked up on Copacabana. Once we picked everyone up, we went straight to Cristo, then the Steps, then the Cathedral, Lunch and then Sugarloaf. We didn't have to do anything but go along and experience. They let everyone discovery freely at each area and set a time for everyone to be back by. The trip was very efficient and we got to do everything we wanted. The your guide was able to inform us of all the neighborhoods and interesting sites along the drive. He spoke in Portuguese, Spanish and English. They even let us cut out of the your early because we wanted to enjoy the DJ on Sugarloaf (which only happens on the weekends). We had left souvenirs in the van though... they took care of that for us though and dropped them off at the front desk of the hotel for us. This is the perfect tour for first time Rio visitors like us!Written 8 January 2025
- dominickr2170 contributionsA++The tour guide was very knowledgeable and organized. He kept the group informed and on-time while also being warm and friendly. He also seamlessly spoke to the group in both Portuguese and English. Christ the Redeemer is a beautiful sight to see and well worth the time. Seeing the city from that high up was a treat. Rio truly is an amazingly beautiful city and can’t wait to come back.Written 6 January 2025
- markj20170 contributionsI planned ahead, but they didn't.I felt really sorry for Raquel, since she absolutely did the best job she could to hold the day together. It was Jan 2nd and the traffic conditions were horrible. However, when you go with a highly rated and expensive tour company, you sort of expect them to plan for it. We were out from our hotel for 11 hours and perhaps did 2 hours of proper 'sight seeing'... the rest was either in the van or queues.... 45 minutes waiting outside Christ the redeemer in boiling sun was not enjoyable. I don't have any criticism of Raquel, but more to the team who didn't plan for the 'normal' Jan 2nd rush...Written 3 January 2025
- Travel2280170 contributionsRio sunset tourReally bad experience, I booked an afternoon sunset tour. Frustrating communication. They didn't pick up from the prearranged spot. They didn't reply to my messages. I only had a few days in Rio. They screwed up my stay in the city. Very flaky avoid them.Written 3 January 2025
- ravioli19750 contributionsSuckedPickup time was 8:30 from our hotel. The guide arrived on time but the transportation did not. Guide was furious and apologized to us. The transportation arrived one hour late. We get to the museum and the guide did not have our tickets. He said he is waiting for tickets in a text. We stood in the line and then came out as tickets never came. 30 minutes later tickets came and we continued our trip. Long story short, don’t trust this company and the tour. Don’t waste your money and the precious time. You can do better. Find an another tour . We will never hire this company again.Written 2 January 2025
- justin w0 contributionsCancel CityWe booked an 8am tour 18 hours before the scheduled departure time. Viator confirmed. They had 18 hours to tell us there’s a problem. They asked us to be ready to leave our hotel at 8AM. We waited in the lobby, but no guide showed up. I contacted them right at 8am, letting them know we were ready for pickup. It was not until 8:08 am that the tour company reached out, informing me our tour was cancelled. This tour has the badge of excellence, but they cancelled our tour without even saying anything. When it was too late for us to book something else that day. We planned our day around this tour, and those plans are ruined. this is our last day in Rio. I’m shocked that a tour company with such good reviews would do this. They’re not worthy of the badge of excellence. This tour company sucks, and I suggest all people avoid them at all costs. Do not be fooled by the other reviews. They will abandon you.Written 30 December 2024

- 140nichelleh0 contributionsGreat way to see main tourist attractions in RioI did this tour with my family. Our guide was Daniel and he was incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and did a great job keeping the whole group informed and on time. We saw all the main tourist attractions of Rio in one day! And I felt like the time at each location was well planned. We had enough time to buy snacks, take pictures, and walk around each stop.Written 24 December 2024

Pay a lot of silver for nothing. Only 1 h in each museum. The boulevard is 1.5 km walk without anything interesting. They don't warn it's that far!!! If I knew, I wouldn't be crazy. The guide didn't exist! I explain almost nothing. I mean, I bought museum tickets on my own, I used it a lot more and it would have cost me half as much.
I completely regretted it. Above all when the tour ended we had to wait for the bus for almost 40 min in a horrible corner, doing nothing and the guide did not even talk to us. All staring at each other's faces.
A disappointment!!!

SCAMMERS!!! We take out the tour of Aqua Rio, Olympic Boulevard and Museum of Tomorrow by Despegar.com. The guide confused the pickup schedule and abandoned us in the middle of the aquarium and continued the excursion without us (he never realized that he left us because he also did not count the number of people doing the excursion!!!!). They kept us waiting 11⁄2 hours there without answer. We were WhatsApping the agency and they weren't resolving anything. Finally after the long wait, they came looking for us and took us straight to the Morning Museum and we could not pass through the Olympic Boulevard. We missed all the explanations and were left only 15 minutes at the Museum of Tomorrow. A total shame. We claimed and they would NOT return our money. Please do NOT contract ANYTHING with this company that does not take care of anything. Poor attention and response time, unseriousness, no professionalism, a DISASTER.

Wonderful tour... With kids then, they love!
All very close to each other, with a walk we go from AquaRio to the Museum of Tomorrow by Boulevard Olympic.
I recommend going on the weekends, it's more busy.
