Sugarloaf Tour w/ Patricia - Had an amazing experience at Sugarloaf Mountain, thanks to our incredible guide, Patricia! Her outgoing personality and deep knowledge of Copacabana Beach, Urca, and the fascinating history behind Sugarloaf’s name made the tour truly special. She was attentive, enthusiastic, and ensured we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Guided tours only way to experience Rio - Guided tours has a separate entrance to the park. It’s a shorter line and less waiting in lines. My sister and I were the only customers.

Must Do! - Super fun way to take in stunning views! It was a rare cloudy day when we went up but the breaks in the weather surprised us with beautiful cliffside glimpses of the city and the ocean from such a breathtaking viewpoint.

Great tour guide in uncooperative weather - Warley was a fabulous tour guide , so knowledgeable, passionate , spoke great English and was very entertaining. Unfortunately the weather was average & we could barely see through the clouds, but it would be beautiful in the sun & I would absolutely book with him again !

A wonder of an experience. - Sugarloaf is amazing. The views are wonderful. We had the best guide, Warley. He gave much info about the city and the people who live here. He was generous with his attention and good with everyone in the group. His love of Rio and Brazil was apparent and contagious.

A nice tour that is very... - A nice tour that is very specific to Sugar Loaf mountain vs a whole city tour. If you’re looking for a tour that is not a full day tour and are looking for something specific this is a great tour.
