10/10 highly recommend!! - This was literally such a magical experience. The drinks were truly unlimited and there were snacks provided. My friends and I had such a great time. Thais and Carlos were amazing hosts, they made sure our drinks were always full and answered any questions we had. This tour is really worth it.

Worst experience ever - Worst experience I've had so far. I booked the tour through Airbnb, to enjoy my stay in RJ. On the day of the tour, which was my last day in RJ, I contacted the host asking if it would be possible to change my schedule, as I had seen that there was a schedule a little later. The host said yes, at no point did they mention Airbnb cancellation policy or reschedule policy. He just said that there would be a 15-minute grace period, which I considered to be for the new time that was being scheduled. I was fighting against time to get there, and when I arrived I saw the message that they had left, it was 2 minutes after the message. My day was no longer easy and it ended there. I requested a refund which was denied by the host, so I paid and didn't take it. I find the attitude completely dishonest, even more so when the host mentions Airbnb cancellation policy, which should have been mentioned when I asked to reschedule and he said yes. So if, like me, you're going to travel to relax and avoid stress, no, I don't recommend this experience.
