100% worth booking - This was a nice small tour (only 3 of us total) our guide was amazing start to finish. He took us to all the best picture spots and even some secret spots with no crowds so we could enjoy sunrise. He took all of our photos from all the different angles, we didn't even have to ask he got every single shot for us which we are grateful for. Honestly the best experience ever.

The best part of my Rio trip - This was one of the best experiences that I've had on a tour. The communication was smooth, the pick up time was precise, the experience was incredible. We felt incredibly cared for during our time on the tour. Nothing felt rushed at all. I would recommend this tour to everyone as I believe it's the only way to go.

This is the tour to book! - Perfect from start to finish. Very professional, very organised, very knowledgeable. The guides were very helpful, knew the best locations and had a good relationship with the providers making this an easy tour. The early rise is worth it. Obrigado!

Spectacular sunrise - Spectacular! It is worth sunrise for such a beautiful adventure. Our guide Ederson was super friendly, very dedicated and speaks very good Spanish and English, the photographs he took exceeded all our expectations! As a tip, arrange as for a photo shoot that your work is great!

You'll thank yourself later - Jasmin did an incredible job capturing my Rio de Janeiro experience. The sunrise behind Sugarloaf Mountain and my shots at Cristo Redentor are absolutely breathtaking. She’s a talented photographer who isn’t afraid to get creative—even lying on the ground—to get the best possible angle. Worth getting up for before sunrise!

Incredible Sunrise Tour – Best Way to See Rio - This tour was amazing. We started with sunrise at Dona Marta lookout and reached Christ the Redeemer right when it opened, before the crowds arrived. Ederson planned everything perfectly, adding Selarón Steps and Sugarloaf at the best times to avoid clouds and get the best views. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe and cared for throughout the day. He also took incredible photos of us, knowing exactly how to get the best angles even in busy spots. It made such a difference having a guide who understands photography and truly looks out for his guests. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio.

Fantastic Tour – Beautiful Views and a Great Guide - I highly recommend this tour without hesitation! Our driver, Marcos, picked us up directly from our hotel in the morning, which we really appreciated since it was located outside the city. Even though Marcos didn’t speak English and we didn’t speak Portuguese, we managed to understand each other just fine. He was very kind and thoughtful — on the way back, he even bought us some local treats because the return trip took longer due to roadwork. We were a small group of five, which we truly enjoyed. Our guide, Ederson, was friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. He gave clear explanations about each attraction and made sure everyone felt comfortable. The tour description mentioned a “light breakfast,” but we actually had plenty to eat: coffee, bread, and a bag prepared for each of us with several typical Brazilian foods. There were quite a lot of people at Mirante Dona Marta, even early in the morning. At first, it was hard to take pictures ourselves because of the crowd. However, thanks to our guide Ederson, we left with many beautiful photos. He kindly offered to take them for us and knew exactly how and where to get the best shots — the same at Christ Rédempteur. We arrived very early (right at opening time) so we were among the first visitors to enter, despite the huge number of people there.

Amazing spots but be prepared for the crowd. - You cant leave Rio without going to Dona Marta & Christ the Redeemer. Both are breathtaking. Be prepared to compete for photo spots since there will be a crowd all the time. Our guide Mylenna was very helpful, especially in taking our photos.
