Incredible tour of the center of Rio - Excellent! Very friendly, professional and very dedicated to your work. The tour was very interesting and Alexia gave us information in a very entertaining and detailed way. In addition, he took care of every detail, want to coordinate the driver, tickets that we require and even take photos and make a beautiful mini video of the tour. If you have the opportunity to tour Rio de Janeiro with Alexia you will not regret it.

Excellent experience - Taking that tour was the best decision, thanks to our guide Alexia we were able to know the history of Rio and tour different points of interest. She is always ready to solve doubts or give us tips with infinite patience and a joy that infects. Doing the walking tour is fully recommended and more if it is with the same guide.

Very nice and relaxing. - It was raining most of the day so we needed to modify the days plan a bit. Took Uber’s where we needed to go and did a bit of walking. The museum was great! We did not feel rushed during our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and even helped us plan our next days activities. A very pleasant way to enjoy a day.

They cancelled at the last minute. - Cancelled late in the evening via WhatsApp due to not having enough people. Too late for me to rebook another experience with anyone else as I was leaving that night. They should have communicated this earlier. Had to get Viator involved to get a refund from them.

Sucked - Pickup time was 8:30 from our hotel. The guide arrived on time but the transportation did not. Guide was furious and apologized to us. The transportation arrived one hour late. We get to the museum and the guide did not have our tickets. He said he is waiting for tickets in a text. We stood in the line and then came out as tickets never came. 30 minutes later tickets came and we continued our trip. Long story short, don’t trust this company and the tour. Don’t waste your money and the precious time. You can do better. Find an another tour . We will never hire this company again.
