The tour was amazing! Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer were so much more than I could have expected! Ernani, our guide, is professional, passionate and knows every detail of the city. There were 4 of us and Ernani managed to tell us as much as possible about everything we saw/passed by, not just Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer. He did his best to manage the time avoiding long lines and completing the tour on time (I had a conference reception in the evening and arrived perfectly on time). The experience was amazing! Highly recommended!
We love Meilin! Highly recommend

I a great time on the half-day tour! Kiki was a phenomenal tour guide and I really thought that our driver did a wonderful job smoothly navigating us through Rio de Janeiro. Our tour was spoken in perfect English, and our guide was happy to answer all of our questions! I can’t believe that we got to see so much in just a few hours. Also, you should know that the Brazilian steakhouse that was included with the full day tour was absolutely extraordinary! Even though my family and I did the half-day Tour we ate at that restaurant twice in three days!
Great Tour

The weather wasn’t great for our tour, but we still had an amazing time. We got to Christ the Redeemer early and beat most of the crowd then took in the picturesque views at Sugar Loaf while enjoying a fresh açaí. I highly recommend! Sabina was great!
