Perfect half day Rio trip with Christ the Redeemer and Tijuca Forest

- Review from Viator
5.00We absolutely loved Wannessa, she was the best tour guide we had while traveling through Brazil. She has so much knowledge of the city, and really curated a perfect half day tour of Rio. She even took us to a local restaurant and helped with translating everything everywhere we went. She is also the best photographer and will go above and beyond to get the perfect “instagramable” photos. She also makes you feel super safe and like you’ve known her forever! There’s a reason she’s rated as the number one tour guide in Rio!
