Traveler reviews
Book if you only have one day here.
I wouldn’t recommend it to people who can spend 2-3 days in Rio. The tour guide didn’t share much and he is not very engaging. So if you are looking for more local knowledge from a human being, then pick something else. You can ask AI and get more information. The good thing is you have a structured trip and someone drive you to all the must-see places. I would rather take a taxi and go to these places myself. No need to be mindful of the time or wait for other tour members.

Flavio was a great guide...
Flavio was a great guide and the entire tour from pickup to drop-off was smooth. The bus was comfortable and air conditioned.
Glorified taxi
We did the half day without sugarloaf/lunch and it was honestly a huge waste of money. The service was essentially a taxi taking us to and from places with tight time schedules. We thought going with a guide would at least help us bypass some of the large queue at Christ the redeemer but it honestly made no difference and we could’ve done it for far cheaper doing it ourselves. Usually we like these organized tours for the information but honestly the information the guide gave us was very basic and limited- which added to the feeling that this was just a transfer service and not a proper tour, which probably didn’t help with the fact that the tour guide was giving the tour in three languages which likely curtailed the information further. Finally, at the end of the tour as we weren’t continuing on for the full day we were given the option to either go off on our own and pay our own way home or wait for all the other guests to eat for a few hours to be dropped off- something that was completely misleading as the tour advertises drop off service. All in all, I think this is a complete waste of money and you could get the exact same experience doing this without an official tour and perhaps even have a better time as you wouldn’t be held to strict schedules. Any usually benefit of doing tours (ie skipping queues, having more history/detailed explanations) were inexistent here. Only giving two stars as at least the places we went to were magnificent.
