Fun day! - We let out guide Diogo choose most of our day. We did the Maze, the Carnival Experience, the monastery, and cathedral. Our lunch was nice and we drove the whole beach from Copacabana to Leblon. Fun day!

Copacabana Beach February 2025 - Booked 4 trips with Way To Know Rio via WhatsApp, booking process was simple and straightforward. Private half day tour to Christ the redeemer. Private half day tour to Sugar Loaf mountain 30min private helicopter ride around Rio Private tour to Telegraph rock Duncan was our tour guide for 2 days, Issac for 1 day and our driver was Romullo for all 4 days. All were fantastic, very knowledgeable, extremely welcoming and made us all feel very welcome in Rio. Punctual collection from our hotel on each of the four days, car was excellent and very comfortable with AC. Would highly recommend Way to Know Rio, both our guides Duncan and Issac and our superb driver Romullo.

Unforgettable - Alex is an amazing guide! We got to visit a lot of hidden gems in Rio - for example: last pieces of preserved Portuguese colonial streets, mosteiro de sao bento, and more. At some of the locations, we were the only ones there. Alex is very knowledgeable and regaled us with personal anecdotes of his experiences growing up and meeting the people involved in many of the sites, such as with the creator of Escadaria Selarón. An unforgettable experience. A shoutout to our driver Bruno as well for navigating some of the most challenging roads in Santa Teresa 😱. Alex 是一位非常出色的导游!我们参观了里约许多隐藏的瑰宝,比如仅存的几段葡萄牙殖民时期的街道、圣本笃修道院等等。在某些隐藏的景点,我们甚至是唯一的游客。Alex 知识渊博,还分享了他成长过程中与许多景点相关人士相遇的个人趣事。 这真是一次难忘的体验!

Best Way To See Rio Hotspots! - Had a really great full day tour with Isaac! He picked us up directly from the hotel with a driver so we could easily get to all the key attractions without worrying about parking. This was the best way to see all the key spots in Rio in 1 day! Isaac was super knowledgeable, went out of his way to make sure we had a great day and was generally a pleasure to be around. Very friendly! Would recommend!

What a great day! What a great Team! Don't miss this on! - What a great day! Diogo and Romollo looked after us really well and took us to some excellent and easily missed gems. They form a great team and are fun to be with. The lunch stop they advised was a great local historic restaurant. I cant recommend these guys highly enough. We’ve been in Rio for 5 days when we took this tour and had been on the main tours ie Christ the Redemer etc on all other days and although there was a little duplication in the advertised schedule , when discussed with Diogo , he was very flexible and adjusted his tour accordingly to avoid any duplication.

The Way to Visit Second Tier Attractions - In general a good additional day, if you have visited places like Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Rio Cathedral. Flexible in places to visit, enabling you to tailor to your own likes.

Unexpectedly short tour - We took this Private tour as it was advertised as an 8-9 hour tour.. We were picked up at our hotel at 8.30am. After visiting several sites, we were brought to wait in front of a restaurant for lunch at 11.35am. We started lunch at 12nn and finished at 1.25pm. We were dropped back at the hotel at 1.30pm. We were shocked that the tour concluded so quickly. To be fair to the travel guide, he explained that this tour was based on the number of destinations selected and visited rather than on the total time spent on the tour. However, we were not convinced as the total time spent for the tour is also a function of how much time we spend at each site visited. Anyone interested in this PRIVATE TOUR should confirm with the operator on how much time they plan to spend with you on the tour.
