Very enjoyable trip with the family. Thank you for bi-lingual experience with our tour guide. Even though it was cloudy we still saw everything planned.
Great experience!! A lot...
Great experience!! A lot in one day! Worth the money and headache of getting there yourself. Food was good and the tour guide was nice.
Great Tour
This experience was awesome. What a day to spend while visiting Rio. The tour is amazing as it visits the top tourist attractions. We did the tour that included lunch and it was actually good. Our tour guide was Marco and he was patient, professional, knowledgeable and understanding as we were in a group of 16. He made sure we were on schedule and expedited our entrance to all attractions. I highly recommend this tour.
Mixed experience
Be careful of the weather forecasts before booking, as a postponement or cancellation on your part may not be taken into account if the conditions are bad on the day of the visit, but I am not here to discourage you because the visit is surely beautiful in good conditions. The motivation of the guide was felt.
