Great tour! So much information! - This was a very great tour. It was very organized and we got to see all the big sites of Rio in one day. The train ride to the mountain offered some great views and while we went on a rainy day, by the time we got up to the Christ the Redeemer, the clouds had opened up and got some amazing views of Rio! Our guide was very informative and offered so much knowledge on all the sites.

Awesome Rio de Janeiro - I couldn't believe I was actually going up to Urca and then Sugar Loaf Mountain in a cable. The mountain and views from it are awesome.
The buffet lunch was fantastic, both the food and the drama of the waiters bringing skewered, BBQ meats and carving at the table. Great tour and great C2Rio guide Publio, who had a hard job to say everything in Portuguese, Spanish and English.

Brilliant tour - Brilliant if full on day, covered all the main sights of Rio & great lunch included. FYI pick up at 0740 then an hour collecting others, drop off around 1730. Guide was excellent (Publio). Some queues but not too much.

Good start to the holiday - A good start to the holiday. You get just enough time to see everything clearly. There are additional stops with sights in between. You also drive past a cathedral and the samba carnival grounds. For lunch you will be served delicious BBQ meat with fries and salad. As much as you can eat. The guide provides a lot of information about the highlights and the driver drives you around comfortably in a luxurious Mercedes shuttle bus. Great day!

Awesome Rio! - Christ the Redeemer was good but weather didn’t allow optimal visibility. Sugarloaf was great. Lunch was good. Awkward with sharing with two languages…woul be better with just one language tour. Guide was excellent and knowledgeable.

Good tour - The tour covered all the must see things in Rio. There was some confusion regarding where to meet the tour guide and when we asked at tour desk in the hotel lobby, we were given incorrect information about where to wait. The guide was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of informaiton about the city and the sites. We would have preferred not to have so much down time, though. We waited around alot. Overall, it was a good way to see as much as possible in a single day.

Good Tour despite late start - Tour did not start on time due to stadium game and closed roads. Tour should have anticipated this. Tour was 9-1/2 hours rather than 8 hours. Long wait times for train and cable car due to late start. Tour director a bit rude when asked questions. Otherwise tour itinerary was very good.

A perfect day spoiled - We had booked this tour based on price this was the most expensive option came highly recommended
Sadly it was a let down
It started with pick up we were ready at 725 but were not picked up till 815 there were some road closings due to a game but the company did not adjust the route
We picked up other guests till 930 going round and round on the same road
Any way got to the Christ statue the booking was gone
Some how we managed to get up on the train to go up at 1030 by the time we came down half the day was gone
Then we rushed around town spending 15-20 min at other places until we got to sugar loaf at 4 pm the guide spent 30 minutes getting the tickets
The. Of course the long line
My friend had a flight catch so just turned back from the intermediate stop
We did not get down till 7 pm what was to be a 8 hour tour turned into 12 hour of hurry up and wait
Don’t do it
