5.00Great day tour with our guide Raquel who was awesome. The day was fun-filled with awesome sights. A must do when in Brazil.
Rushed trip and probably better if organised the elements ourselves

3.00Although we booked English speaking tour the guide used 3 languages throughout so often understood information after the point of relevance. Have been on far more informative trips and very rushed at Selaron steps which was disappointing after spending 20 minutes outside a football stadium for no apparent reason other than to highlight other trips available by the company

5.00This tour is a must if you visit Rio. You start the day at Christ the Redeemer and end at Sugarloaf Mountain. There are several side ventures between the first and last stop. Our guide, Sandra, spoke 3 languages to accommodate everyone in the group. She also took pictures for us.
Wasn't worth the money. (Misrepresented tour format and service failures.)

3.00Buy the tour from the Copacabana stretch, better value for money, my friends paid $75 and went to two additional sites than this tour. Here are some of the Pro and issues- Pro - Guide was friendly and tried to make everyone feel comfortable. Primary Issues: 1. Misrepresented Service: Booked specifically for English-speaking guide but received trilingual tour. Constant translation between Portuguese, Spanish, and English severely limited historical information delivery. 2. Poor Logistics: - Bus arrived 10 minutes late - Christ the Redeemer visit during peak cloud cover made photography impossible - Selarón Stairs overcrowded due to poor timing - Guide lacked identification tools, causing confusion during regrouping 3. Inadequate Time Management: Insufficient time at major attractions (Cathedral, Stairs, Christ statue) despite paying "skip the line" premium. 4. Substandard Inclusions: - Restaurant poorly represented Brazilian cuisine - No complimentary water provided for full-day tropical tour Value Comparison: The tour failed to deliver promised English-focused experience and suffered from multiple operational issues. Comparable tours at significantly lower prices provide superior value. Hilton pickup at 8am, drop off at 3.43pm
Wonderful day.
