Great tour of Rio
We booked this last minute the day before, the confirmation of our tour was fast, communication was clear and easy, the tour guide was punctual. Jonas and Felipe were fantastic as a tour guide and driver, they kept everyone moving so we were able to see everything on the tour and get to the sunset on sugarloaf at a good time. I would absolutely recommend this tour based on my experience.
