Great half day tour - The trip was great, Pedro gave us insights about the city and the places we passed through, the train to the Christ statue was easy and fast, with enough time to take pictures (it was crowded). After that going to the Maracaná Stadium and the Seleron Stairs was easy and fast. Pedro also advised a great place to eat nearby which we really liked.

Disappointing Rio - Logistics timings throughout the trip were spot on. Darkened windows and curtains, though open, are probably needed in high season but they restrict visibility and the ability to link the guides commentary to what you are seeing. The need for 4 different languages appears to restrict the level of information that can be delivered. As for the various sights: 1/ whilst iconic and a must do when in Rio, Christ the Redeemer is underwhelming. 2/ the Maracanã is even more underwhelming and the statue there of the Brazilian captain from the 1958 and 1962 World Cup wins didn’t resonate with me despite me being the oldest person on the trip and a more avid football history fan than most (if you are aged less that 80 you almost certainly won’t know his name) 3/ the new cathedral is much more than underwhelming, it is outright ugly though with semi-interesting aretefacts internally 4/ the Selarón steps and immediate vicinity worth most worth the visit This is not criticism of the tour operator per se but rather a reflection on disappointing tour locations. My use of “disappointing “ is something of a euphemism, I could easily have replaced it with any or multiple of scruffy, unkempt, shabby, boring, graffiti-strewn and ugly.
