5.00We took the five hour tour which was just the right amount of time and the perfect introduction to Rio. Our tour guide Sabina picked us up on time, provided great insight along the way, and even provided us with great suggestions of places to eat. While possible to do on your own, this tour made it easy and was a great use of a short amount of time.
