VALUE ADDED!! - We chose this tour for the timing. Getting there early gave us a chance to take some great pics before the crowds arrive. Peter (our guide) and Voldemort (our driver) were superb companions. Met us at our pick up point right on time and provided great service for the duration of the tour. Peter has a great sense of humor and uses it while sharing information on the city and sights. To not visit this Wonder of the Modern World is like visiting Cairo and not visiting the pyramids. It’s a must do in our book and Carioca Tropical made it so easy. We didn’t wait in lines for the cable cars. With Peter we just breezed through like VIPs. He knew the best spots for photography (a big plus for us, personally). I’m sure it’s possible to make your way up the mountain solo, but this tour definitely added value to our visit.

Amazing tour guide and sites - Peter was amazing. Very informative, polite and made sure we were getting the experience we wanted. I would suggest paying the extra for all of the entrance fees. Peter is friendly and knows all of the best spots to stand and get the best pictures. He has a lot of knowledge about places he is speaking about as well as recommendations. I would go on this tour again.

Perfect short tour - When short on time, this tour is perfect. It leaves early (7am) getting there before the crowds and you are finished by 11am.

Great early tour - This tour was great. Our tour guide Monica was fantastic, she was always very clear and had lots of interesting information from start to finish. I had tried to go to see Christ the redeemer earlier on in the week but was not able to due to the cloudy weather. I only had one last day in Rio and needed an early tour in order to see it. Thanks to this tour I was able to see it. Thank you to Monica for a great morning tour.

Carmen is AMAZING!!! - I booked the morning Christ the redeemer & Sugar loaf mountain tour, however due to bad weather (heavy mist) we could not see anything. Our tour guide Carmen was amazing, she kept apologising (so sweet!) and made the best out of a bad situation and added on extra cool places to visit downtown (I paid an extra 100R$, since I had not previously booked the whole day tour). I am a solo traveller and wanted to do the the major attractions with a English speaking tour guide and Carmen's English was perfect. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to do activities in Rio de Janeiro the company are great at responding to any messages via email or WhatsApp.
