Enlightening - Gustavo was nothing short of awesome! From start to finished, Gustavo was on his stuff (on point). He will answer everything you think to ask, but may not ask. The views of the city are majestic. Be one time and everything will go as smooth as possible! You will not regret this tour! I’m not sure how many languages he knows, but he spoke 3 (Portuguese, Spanish and English) on my trip (all in sequence) you didn’t feel lost. It was pretty unique.

Excellent and well run tour! - Really enjoyed our Rio day trip with OK Rio Tour. Gustavo was a great guide with humor and enthusiasm for guiding this tour. The tour was very well organized and run. We felt we got to see many attractions with adequate time to explore, take pictures and enjoy the sites. We spent a gorgeous day seeing some of the more well known tourist attractions and thoroughly enjoyed it! Would highly recommend this tour! 5 stars!

Great day tour covering all major highlights of Rio - Great day tour covering all the major tourist spots in Rio in one day. The guide speaks English very well and all tickets were bought in advance, saving us time. We even got access to fast track queuing for some of the activities, which saved us time. The only negative is that I found out the tour was at least £20 cheaper if bought locally from a hotel. That's one thing to consider when booking these tours on Viator-type websites

Amazing! - One word, Gustavo! He is amazing all the way round he is not only punctual , but witty and very knowledgeable. This man will be ensure you beat the rush / crowds for all of the monuments which trust me you will be very grateful for. Great atmosphere and energy all generated by Gustavo (plus we were a cool group ;) Don’t think about it just book it , you won’t regret it. Only thing is if you’re interested in Samba City book that separately.

The absolute best sightseeing day in Rio - By far one of THE best guided tours I've ever done and one of the most stress-free experiences with a tour. Almost immediately after booking, I got a WhatsApp message from the tour organizers so we could coordinate an alternate pick up location. Normally they do pick up from the hotel where I was staying (Selina Lapa), but due to concerns about Carnival traffic, a few of us met the rest of the group in Copacabana instead. The pick up was right on time with no confusion. My tour guide, Gustavo was a super nice guy who spoke impeccable English / Spanish, and did the entire tour completely bilingual. The tour itself was a great mix of guided segments along with ample free time to wander around on our own, with clearly communicated meet-up times and places so we could regroup and move on to the next location. I got to see everything I wanted to see that day in a much shorter amount of time than it would have taken me to navigate the city on my own, AND the tour included a buffet lunch with plenty of vegetarian options (always a plus). The tour concluded around 17:00 which gave me the entire evening free to return to my hotel, shower, nap, and head out to the Champions Parade. 10/10 would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio, especially if you only have one day and want to see a lot.

Want to see the Rio sites go with this tour it won’t disappoint - Excellent tour guide. Picked us up at hotel and dropped us off. Even WhatsApp message before hand with information on pick up. Guide was very informative and took time to give details as we drove from site to site. First time we have done an organised group trip as normally go our own way. However I recommend in Rio it’s safe to be with a registered company and guide you will feel much safer and get to see all you want. Best bit was Christ the redeemer had clear sky and views were amazing. Well worth it
