Tujuca Forest Jeep Tour - We had a great time with our tour guide Lea and driver Guerrero. The ride was pleasantly smooth and cushions on the seat were very comfortable. This is an excellent tour of the Tujuca forest. We saw monkeys playing, carp fish, turtles, a museum with other historical artifacts, and several waterfalls. It was a great adventure to walk through the forest and see nature at its finest. This was a surprisingly very interesting tour. Make sure you do it but be sure you wear comfortable shoes. We loved this tour. If you love nature, you will love it too!

Excellent people and trustworthy company. - We discovered that the Destination company had booked us on a tour two days & going to Christ the Redeemer on both. However our guides Bela & Rafael offered to take us to the Favela instead which was really interesting but safe. We had great views of the city & an experience we would never have expected. Really excellent service and a feeling we were with a company that cares about the experience you receive.

Thank you to our Guide Amelia! - The tour was a beautiful, historical nature walk through the Tijuca Rainforest. Our tour also had other amazing stop points to view the city as a whole. The driver Fabio, was courteous, safe, and made a great effort to get us to our next destination.

Not worth the price - It was nice to be there for a little bit but it was definitely not worth the money. I expected a lot more for the price.

NEVER take this trip on Sunday or Holiday - NEVER take this tour on a Sunday or Holiday. The park restricted jeeps to so many every 2 hours, which lead to this being a disastrous trip. Ourguide Gabriel tried his best but there was mixup in hotel pickups which made us late to the park. Jeep could not enter for another 2 hours, so we walked to first waterfall, which was nice but a max of 30 minutes was required. We were stuck there for 2 hours until jeep could pick us up. After that all we had time for was a quick drive thru the park and back home. A very, very, very disappointing trip. We were so late we almost missed another Viator tour that afternoon.

Awful experience - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. No one arrived to collect me from my hotel. Instead they sent a man to wait with me who also did not have a clue what was going on. After making several calls to the company, he told me that the transport was at a hotel in Copacabana...(my hotel is in Barra). I sent the operator upwards of 10 messages with no responses. As a solo female traveller I felt incredibly vulnerable and am shocked at the ineptitude of this company. Do not use

Not good at all - Tour guide Showed up an hour late, rushed every site we went to. Was told a 4 hour long experience. Did a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes. Honestly I got ripped off. The worst thing is that I don’t care if it’s late… just let me know that you are running late so I don’t stand on the side of the road (pickup location) for an hour. Waste of my time
