Very good tour! - The trip was very good and the guide was cheerful. We left at the scheduled time after picking up all the passengers and the bus journey was peaceful. We bought snorkel glasses and a life jacket when we stopped at the agency in Búzios, it was 30.00 or 35.00 per person, but it was worth it because we were able to see several fish and also feel calm when getting off the boat. There was a change in the itinerary and we had lunch before going sightseeing, the food in the restaurant was good but it was crowded and the air didn't work. Time to walk around the city is also very limited, don't count on it.
The boat trip was a lot of fun, the beaches are beautiful and the waters are very cold, but we had a great day in the sun. The boat has music to liven it up and a bar with drinks and kebabs, the cost of which is +- 25.00 for a caipivodka and 10.00 for a kebab. But it's all delicious and worth it. The only thing is that the advertisement said that we would spend 50 minutes on each beach, where we could get off the boat to swim, but the longest we stayed was 30 minutes on one of them, the others were less time. Even so, it was beneficial and we think it was worth it.

Buizos is a must see!! - Buzios was amazing and I don't regret going on this tour at all. But please make sure to do a little bit more research than I did because I had no idea it was so far from Rio. My husband and I ended up being the only English speaking people on the tour, so we were a little bit of an after thought during the whole thing. But Rachel, our guide, was great at making sure we knew what we were getting into and where we needed to meet. I did speak a little bit of Portuguese, so it made it a little bit easier since no one on the boat spoke an English. It is about a 3 hour drive there from Rio, so make sure to pack some food for the bus ride. And please don't do what I did and drink alcohol on a boat with an empty stomach. Other than that little mistake, it was wonderful swimming in the ocean and walking the cobblestone streets!

Sweating on tour bus - We were told to sit in back of the bus. It extremely hot in back. As much as sweating. The tour guide had assigned seats. We asked to change and she wouldn't allow. The tour guide did not speak loud enough to hear in back bus. She more concern about her rating then the experience. I will say the boat staff and experience was great. Question is the 2.5 hr boat ride worth the 8 hr bus ride.
Complained to viator that ad doesn't match experience and they had no solution.

Subpar Guide - The actual boat ride at Buzios was lovely. The team on the boat were delightful.
The guide who came with us on the bus was below par. Firstly, she broke the cardinal rule of any form of tourism, which was to talk about politics (she was highly critical of a hat that I was wearing, a hat of the landless workers movement in Brazil). Secondly, she did not give us any sense of the history of the areas we were driving through, only talking about Bridget Bardot, as if that defines the entire history of Buzios. I learned more scrolling through Wikipedia than from the guide.

Awful, misleading, poorly organized - One star because the place is beautiful- but the tour organization is awful. What they don’t tell you is that out of the 14 hrs, half of the time is driving around. I was scheduled to be picked up at 6:45am but the bus showed up at 7:15. No apologies nor explanations, oh but because the local tour co. has to incur in some extra expenses we were asked to pay cash (70 BRL) to be allowed in the bus. By 9:15am we were still in the city picking up passengers for the tour… only to drive 3hours more to the destination… someone did summarize it better in the reviews: “not worthy”
