Wonderful!
It was a great walkthrough of the garden and jungle. A lot of wildlife was seen and there were many opportunities to take pictures and see views. The tour guide was very knowledgeable too.
Great personalized tour
I was traveling solo and had a great experience in a small group (two other guests). Our guide was knowledgable and very friendly -- was great at responding to our questions and requests. Helpful with taking pictures for a solo traveler!
Amazing sights, awesome guide (Pedro)!
Pedro was an amazing guide! The trip started with Pedro picking us up from our hotel, then going to the Botanical Garden, which was fantastic. We went through this quite quickly, as we told Pedro we wanted to spend more time in the national park rainforest. He took us two several waterfalls and, upon our request, took us through a number of hiking trails, including to an amazing cave in the forest. All throughout he was telling us about the history of Rio, which was super interesting. Excellent!
