1.00I wouldn’t recommend this tour group due to very poor communication. My booking details clearly stated that pick-up was at my hotel address. After waiting for several minutes, I was then told that the pick-up location was a different hotel about 15 minutes away. That hotel is not listed anywhere in the meeting or pick-up details. This caused unnecessary confusion and inconvenience and could have easily been avoided with accurate information. Unfortunately this ruined my entire morning, and with a very short vacation here, I am not able to visit Tijuca. Very unfortunate, disappointed in this company.

1.00I don’t recommend using this company-they didn’t show up and didn’t text or call letting us know they were not coming. It’s unprofessional to let customers pay and plan a tour and not show up. Stay away!
