“There’s no bad weather, there’s only bad clothing.” It may have been raining, but that didn’t stop our small group tour from having a great time on our hike into Tijuca National Park. Eduardo was a wonderful guide and host. He has tons of knowledge to share and easily adjusted the plans due to the weather and group’s preferences to deliver a wonderful hike in the forest. Additionally, I was grateful to have a hotel pickup be part of the package as I didn’t want to navigate getting to a location on my own. I was looking for an active tour and Rio Natural has many options. I will definitely contact them when I return to Rio.

It was a very well planned trip, with all details taken care of by the lovely English Speaking Guide Monica. She energetically explained all details, the history as well as many anecdotes. Timing was very well maintained. Despite a bit cloudy weather, had a beautiful view from both the tops. It was worth remembering. Thankfully, the other travellers were simply awesome; one each from Serbia, England, Ireland, a couple from US and a father & two sons team from France. It was a lovely experience.

Of all the various experiences, that put me far above the city/beaches/forest, this hang gliding opportunity really was surreal with the view of life in motion. In fact no other picture or angle you get from the other experiences (each great in their own right) will have you truly smiling thinking about how beautiful the city of Rio is. Also the instructors do a great job of explaining the plan, and getting you accustomed to what takeoff, flight, and landing. 10/10 would recommend if you are not afraid of heights

Plinio is the Don! What an incredible tour guide, he made us feel like family, funny, informative, he worked 2 extra hours past the time to make sure we see more stuff. Met such incredible people from around the world. Cudnt have asked for a better tour. Thank you!

This full day tour takes you on a ride to Rio's most prominent icons recognized around the world. Our guide (Publio) is a man who has traveled the world and able to communicate with everyone. He managed to keep the diverse group interested and maintain a timely schedule. We hit the attractions at just the right time, and the Brazilian lunch was amazing! Get ready for a FULL day of fun that will make for a good night's sleep in the end!

Beth was absolutely incredible! So knowledgeable and very flexible to build the day with! We definitely felt safe have her with us! We were able to see everything we wanted and more! We were able to start the day off at the Selarón steps and walk around Santa Teresa definitely worth going early for before it gets too crowded, then we went to the cathedral and Lage Park, even though the inside was closed for remodeling the outside is well worth seeing and walking around, we then got a little sweet treat at Rio cafe and headed up to Christ the redeemer. After that we finished off at sugar loaf mountain and ate at a Brazilian Steakhouse. Absolutely worth getting a private tour! Money well spent! Carlos was also an amazing driver! I loved Beth’s personality we meshed very well and like I said earlier the flexibility she had with little changes to what we initially had planned made it all the better! She definitely suggested how to plan to get the most of the day and our money!

The show, especially the 2nd half was entertaining and musically educational about all of Brazil. First rate dancing and singing all in a fun way. Great visuals. And the food isn’t bad either especially if you factor in the # of folks being fed. Our aviator tickets were in the front row and centered. They cost less thru aviator than I would’ve paid via our tour group too. Excellent job aviator.

The helicopter base was an hour's taxi ride away, and I wasn't expecting that. I should've checked in advance but didn't...so fair warning everyone else! When I got there - just in time - I was asked if I wanted a cold drink or maybe a beer? I opted for the beer (I was on holiday after all and not driving the thing, so why not?). I also opted for the extra video they make of the journey, which is e-mailed to you about 5 days later. So given that I had paid for a VIP flight, and bought the extra video offer, I was a little surprised to also be charged for the beer! And so to the flight itself. Well, it's at that point that you realise that Rio is just like any city anywhere on the planet. It too is subject to the vagaries of the weather. Every day for the last six months, in my mind this one day, this one particular half-hour was bathed in glorious sunshine. But it could be so different. Too cloudy, too wet, too windy, too anything...And today, right now...was none of those things. It was as if I had placed a weather-order with the Redeemer him/her/itself. Rio and the weather working hand-in-hand to deliver my long-held weather expectation. Across that panoramic perfection rode one helicopter and two insignificant passengers who may have been thinking different things about their forthcoming trip, but not that they would soon be silently and reverentially acknowledging the imperial majesty of Nature and Humans to bring us, well...this. A planet we could exist on, the luck that would allow us to develop and live this long, and the vision that would allow one person to say, "I've got this crazy idea. What I want to do is put a statue of Christ - right there...", and the vision that would allow another person to say, "Eh...OK" And they did. Then my wife and I came along. We took some pics. Shot a video or two. Ipanema, Copacabana, Cristo. Minds so exstatically blown. Grateful to everyone for everything. So yeah, it was OK. We'd do it again.
