Great Tour of Rio de Janeiro
“The tour of Rio de Janeiro was very enjoyable overall. Flavio was kind, friendly, and did his best to make sure everyone had a good experience. There were some challenges because a few people in the group were not following directions or staying on schedule, but Flavio handled the situation patiently and tried hard to help everyone throughout the tour. We really appreciated his positive attitude and effort despite the difficulties.”
Outstanding all the way!
The tour was well-paced, giving us plenty of time to enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed, along with many opportunities to take great photos throughout the day. We visited Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the Selarón Steps, and many other highlights included in the tour program. Our tour guide, Sal, was exceptional, sharing fascinating historical insights as well as helpful safety tips along the way. We also chose the lunch option, which was absolutely worth it — excellent quality Rodízio-style food paired with great service. Sal truly went above and beyond to keep the group organized, focused, and on schedule, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended — this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Rio is a vibrant, stunning, and unforgettable city.
