  An awesome and best way to explore Rio in a day! The tour was amazing, we managed to tick so many places off our list whilst still feeling very relaxed as we travelled place to place! Translation was also provided all day (English and Spanish) which meant you didn't miss out. They also looked after my Dad well by ensuring he could sit instead of queuing at Christ the Redeemer, both on the way up and down (this helped him to enjoy the day without undue pain). We were also informed of the history of Rio, from the Portugeuse and the many French and Duetch battles. Its a lot to cover so the buffet lunch is a great way to address the appetite and enjoy some bbq!! The priority boarding at sugarloaf was also a nice treat, saving on queue time !!! And the views, so breath taking, if we had more time, we would do it again!!

  A long full and rewarding day of seeing the highlights of Rio de Janeiro. Marco guided us through the Carnival crowds! Great to see all the highlights in one day

  Well we got to Christ the redeemer and was walking to get back into our minibus when we heard shouting behind us it was our guide being attacked by a man. He then went on to knocking our guide to the floor and was punching him, with that my husband tried to help him and fell off the curb while trying to get the man off the guide. Well that ruined our day as after that incident my husband could not walk or enjoy the rest of the trip. Our guide was good and got my husband a wheelchair so we could do the sugar loaf mountain but my husband felt embarrassed because of this. So the reason I’m writing this is because he is still having problems got to now have exrays on his knee as it’s very damaged. Why our guide was attacked we do not know but all I do know is my husband is still having trouble walking which is not good. I have tried to contact Viator but cannot find anyway of getting in contact with you. You have my details so please can you contact me please

  This tour will drain your day! Tour guide late for everything , bus air conditioning went out, food was garbage, (Sangria was amazing). Tour guide made us wait in line while other tour guides scheduled their people so the wait was minimum for them. We waited approximately 2 hours in line for Christ the Redeemer (It was ridiculous). Tour would have not been as bad had the tour guide scheduled everything for a smooth tour but unfortunately he didn’t. I am typing as we wait in another line for Sugar Loaf and it’s already 5:30pm. Our tour was scheduled to end at 5:00pm. Viator refused to provide a refund for this disaster of a tour. Please people do not book this tour unless you want to simply waste a day. Tour bus didn’t even provide water due the first half when the bus air conditioning went out. We had to switch buses prior to reaching the first stop. Hop a Cab, pay for VIP tickets and you will enjoy the day and still have time to spend somewhere else.

  We had an absolutely fantastic experience thanks to our tour guide. The information shared was not only detailed and accurate but also presented in such an engaging and enjoyable way. Every story, fact, and explanation brought the history and culture of the place to life. It was clear that the guide was highly knowledgeable and passionate about the subject, which made the tour even more memorable. We learned so much more than we expected and truly appreciated the effort put into answering all our questions. This was one of the best guided tours we have ever experienced. Highly recommended!

• Greatest way to see Rio's attractions

  This tour is great! My guide Luciana was fluent in 5 languages and was very knowledgeable, informative and kind. She made sure that the group and tour are always on time and that nobody got lost. The tour itself started with a tardy pickup (due to traffic) and the access to attractions went by smoothly as we got "priority access" so we didn't have to stand in line for too long. The stop to the Maracana stadium was my least favorite as we weren't alowed to go inside. The lunch was very well prepared. The serving staff wouldn't stop serving food until everyone was satisfied. Prices of drinks and desserts were reasonable.

• rio de janeiro in a day

  Interesting tour if you want to visit the main tourist attractions of rio, it was great to be picked up and returned to the hotel. There were no delays, we got to see all the attractions described on the tour. Personally I did not like lunch was buffet meat but I did not see much variety. Everything else excellent plus we had time to buy some souveniers during the tour. Being several places to visit the time is accurate, so it depends a lot on what you are looking for me that looks great because I had only one day of time.
