Awesome Views but Long lines and wait

Awesome views and activities but waiting in the lines for Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf was like being in Disney Land. Very long. Our guide and Driver were great. Just wish the tour company had a way to get us through the line faster instead of waiting with everyone else. That’s why you pay to have a guided tour in my opinion

Great Job!

Great experience with Luciana! Kept us informed and kept us together when other people were touring so we didn’t get lost. Also she very friendly and good at her job. I would recommend her as your guide. I will say to eat before going or bring a snack, you can’t eat until closer to the end due to you going to multiple locations to take photos and time is limited. I still recommend going during the day.
