A great day - A great way to see all the major sights in one day. We got to go up to both Chtrist the Redeemer and Sugarloaf, as well as other significant sights. We could not have seen a fraction of that on our own.

Perfect way to see Rio’s Highlights in one day - This was a really great tour. Alessandro is an awesome tour guide everything ran smoothly and the lunch was fabulous. We would highly recommend this tour. The pace was just right and we saw everything on our list in one day. We were picked up on time and returned to our hotel around 4:30. Wonderful day!

Beware- This provider overbooks and leaves guests behind - The trip was overbooked so they piled us into a full size bus where we drove all around the city for over an hour picking up guests. There was a lot of waiting because the group size was too big. Many guests complained to the guide Sandra about the large group size. This is not what we signed up for! There were approximately 60 guests and just one guide and she couldn't handle that many guests in the crowded venues. She lost two guests at our first stop, which we had to wait for and then she left me at our second stop and did not wait. We were at the train station and I was in the line behind the group and when I called for her, she looked right at me and continued on. I had to find a taxi ride home and I missed the other half of the tour. When I called the company to complain, they gave me a very small refund which did not even compensate for missing the rest of the tour, lunch, and my safe ride. There are so many tour providers in Rio that offer smaller size groups which makes for a much better experience. I booked this tour through TripAdvisor which is notorious for companies that overbook trips. I prefer GetYourGuide or Viator for a much more personal and enjoyable experience!!

Good experience. Disappointing guide - We did the tour one day in Rio. Christ the Redeemer, Maracana stadium (outside), sugar bread, stairs. Everything was done. However, the guide Vicente was the disappointment. Bad treatment. Hurry everything. I understand that he demands the times, but nevertheless we had to wait for him. On the sugar loaf on the way back, we understood that we do the line and so we did, however the guide was already in the line ahead. And realizing we weren't coming to the group We went more to find them. When I found him I was screaming in front of a lot of people, that because we were late. Later that I told him that I don't think it's the way to yell at us and treat us anymore. It was worse. He got angrier. I wanted to make more reservations because I'm 10 days angrier river. But I don't recommend this agency. By this person guide

BAD EXPERIENCE - I am not the person who leaves negative reviews but today I had a bad experience with this Agency. My discontent starts from the fact that the price is excessive for the times and places visited. The title of the package suggests a precise itinerary so you can find out that part of that package has an additional price and not just a little. Lunch is charged (25€) and I found out only once the meal was over, this because the title of the package was misleading. The tour operator named Alessandro did not have a professional and courteous attitude when I asked what their package really included. I would like to clarify, when I went to lunch, Alessandro never gave me directions on how to access / pay, when I confronted him he answered me in a bad way "what do you want me to pay you!?" I was disappointed and sorry about this experience because he cared so much, but such behavior is intolerable. I expected more professionalism, empathy and understanding but unfortunately I didn't have it. For those who want to book this tour, read each term and conditions because this package includes 40 minutes to Christ the Renderer (where you may have to wait 2/3 hours to enter) ,5 min. Maracana Stadium, 20 min the escadaria and San Sebastián Church 10 min.
