Traveler reviews
Fun with clouds
Allesondro was our guide. He was knowledgeable and kept a larhe group on task. He had a couple group members that didn't follow directions but he still handled it with grave. The sights were amazing and lunch at the steakhouse was great! The weather was a bit cloudy for good pictures but that is not in control of tour group.
Fell short of expectations
Needs much improvement in providing information about the sites. Would have also been interesting if guide shared information about the places/neighborhoods we were driving through to learn more about the city and the country; so that the drive to the sites was made more interesting rather than boring. Finally, the audio in the van was not very clear.
Rio icons in a single tour
A busy day that lets you visit two iconic Rio landmarks in the same day. Quick transit through the lines at Christ the Redeemer in part due to the early start. Our guide made sure we were all clear in meeting times and gave us free time at each location.
Do not reco C2Rio Tours & Travel
I do NOT recommend C2Rio Tours & Travel and I was surprised by the poor response from Viator when I requested a partial refund. I have booked from Viator several times and always had great experience. Communication with this operator was horrible and we were explicitly lied to from the agency and received 0 communication from the tour guide on site with us. We missed the train ticket window for Christ the redeemer train so we had to wait 2 hours to get on the train. They told us it was due to a busy day, but the manager on site said we missed our 7:40 window and therefore had to wait in the line to be slotted in based on others that didn’t show. (We arrived at 7:40 when instructions were explicit to arrive prior to your time). The pickup was late and that’s why we missed it. The angency also gave us incorrect information about pickup options which resulted in us wasting time in the morning for a 6:20 departure that could have been 7:10 based on other stops. Furthermore the guide spoke 4 languages but we struggled to understand him in 2. Also - train is overrated. Pick the option that works for you time/budget wise. Best, Natalie
A must!
Newton was a great tour guide! Very sweet and knowledgeable. This tour checks off some of the main attractions in Rio de Janeiro... definitely worth booking!
