I suggest you book a private tour for extra 50 bucks. I typically enjoy small group tours, but this one was crowed, and the guide was lovely but very inexperienced - stayed silent for the most part of the tour. There were a couple of unnecessary stops, and the tour ran over by 4 hours. The tour provider offered 20% discount for the unmet expectations, which I appreciated.
Recommend but could do with more commentary

We only had a day to spend in Rio and thankfully we booked this tour which allows you to see all the highlights of Rio. We had José as a guide who was lovely and did a wonderful job of herding us and guiding us back to the bus. The reason I’ve only given four stars is we both felt that there could have been more commentary about some of the places we visited or passed in the bus. Would still recommend to go on.
Great overview of Rio de Janeiro

This was a packed day visiting the major city attractions: Christ the Redeemer, Seleron Steps, Maracana Stadium, San Sebastián cathedral and cable car ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. Gustavo was a great guide for our group (approx 12) and spoke fluently in English and Spanish. He was extremely knowledgeable and organised, keeping us on time and together throughout the tour.
Out of line comments

The tour guide Paz mads very unprofessional comments about money that we wanted to spens or not in overpriced items. She made the same comments about another family as soon after their drop off point and yet again anothe couple. She didn't explain much at all about the Christ the redeemer statue until I asked. And that is a crucial part of any good tour. Also when.I said.I was from the USA she said we were not going to get into it. The locations of the tour were great but the guide needs to learn boundaries
Incredible tour

Great way to see all the sights but this tour is only transportation and entry tickets, not informative, the day could use a talk track. Would have liked to learn about the city, history, geography, what we were looking at, etc. It's quite lacking for a city tour.
Incredible sights

A long day. Lots of walking and in and out of the van. But so well worth it! Gustavo, our guide, was fabulous. The stops were educational and just the right amount of time at each. Lunch was great. Better than expected.

We had a great time with this tour We did everything described in the description, the tickets were included for the attractions making it more convenient for us since we got to skip lines. They picked us up on time and dropped us off at the pickup point. I highly recommend this tour

We had an absolutely incredible time on this tour. They were extremely responsive, detailed, organized, and all went exactly according to plan. Whether it was the booking experience, to additional questions I had for them prior to the tour, then to the actual tour day (inclusive of pickup, lunch, all the pre-planned sights that we were set to visit, and finally drop-off), all went incredibly smoothly. We did all the sights as advertised, and our tour guide Lorraine, was so knowledgeable that because of her advanced planning we were able to avoid an incredibly long line at Christ the Redeemer. She knew how to rework the timing for us to go at a better time, and still make all of our planned stops. She was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend them for your Rio tour needs, and would use them again without a doubt. I decided to book this tour based on other TripAdvisor reviews that helped me make a decision, so I hope this review is equally helpful to any future readers/planners/travelers.
