What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Luis_A, May 2026

Highly recommend sunrise hike in Rio!

Highly recommend! Sunrise tour is well worth the early morning wake up. Guide was a young guy from favela so community really benefits from the tour. Motorcycle ride up was a bit intense, if you’re not used to riding fast motorbikes without helmets, suggest you opt for the car option.

Carnaval Experience: Backstage Tour at Samba City with Cocktail

rod_f, Apr 2026

If I could give this six stars, I would

If I could give this six stars, I would. Ines was a friendly and interesting guide on a tour which was both informative and enjoyable. It was great being close to this year's floats, and seeing and trying on some costumes and headdresses. I learned a lot about Carnaval: this experience made me keen to see it for myself one day. Highly recommended.

Ancient Rio and Santa Teresa Tour with Hotel pick-up and drop-off

M_C, Mar 2026

Great introduction to Rio de Janeiro

This was a good introduction to Rio de Janeiro. Our guide/driver Benny drove us to all the main sights in the old city. Despite the heavy traffic we were able to visit and experience many different sights, the colourful Selaron steps, Santa Teresa district, Metropolitan Cathedral and the beautiful Moasterio Sao Benito.

Dona Marta's sunrise, undisturbed Christ the Redeemer and more

Quis_C, Feb 2026

You do have to be up...

You do have to be up early. Think 0400. But it's well worth it. The guide not only took us to the places, but he made sure we were able to take pictures and he gave us a brief history lesson on the attractions. The itinerary was adjusted to where we did the Selaron Steps before Christ the Redeemer but that was the best thing to do. We started at the top of the steps and walked down, instead of walking up. I think regardless of the time, especially during Carnaval season, it will be almost impossible to be the crowd at Christ the Redeemer.

Rio: Sunrise at Dona Marta, Christ Redeemer with Tickets

Hardeep_J, Jan 2026

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.

Rio de Janeiro Private City Tour: Christ, Sugarloaf & More

Monica_W, Jan 2026

Rio Tour

Absolutely love Rio! I booked this tour 6 months before I got here as I read so many great reviews on Gus so I wanted to make sure I got him as our guide. Unfortunately he had the flu when we arrived but he secured another great person Bruno who was terrific! Comfortable car and knowledgeable guide makes for a fun day even in the rain. Loved our lunch at Assador. Sugar loaf was great but of course seeing Christ the Redeemer was truly epic!!

Telegraph Stone Adventure

Robert_H, Jan 2026

Living on the Edge!

This was a physically CHALLENGING experience! If you are not in decent physical shape (great knees, great legs, great lungs), this may not be a tour for you. The hike up the mountain is TOUGH! It is almost an hour long hike on rugged terrain. The Telegraph Stone is at a height of 1161 feet (354 meters). But if you can make it to the top, it is WORTH THE CHALLENGE! The views are breathtaking and the pics are priceless! Mauricio, our tour guide was patient, accommodating and as can be seen, also a GREAT PHOTOGRAPHER, he took my pix shown here, thanks bro. The tour van however is quite OLD and is in poor shape and SHOULD to be replaced. The ride in the van was very uncomfortable. We were all crammed in with little or no leg room. Please please please get a NEW VEHICLE. Would I do this specific tour again? HELL NO as it is very challenging physically plus, unless you're at the telegraph stone at the crack of dawn, you'll have to wait for close to 2 hrs to take your pics as there'll be others ahead of you and some folks in other tour groups are selfish and want to take 50 pics per person! There should be a limit of no more than 10 mins of pic taking per person! Anyway, I am happy I was able to complete the hike and get my pics with that iconic piece of rock! Go for it! You won't be disappointed!

Christ the Redeemer, Selaron Steps and Santa Teresa Half-day Tour

Phithizela_N, Jan 2026

Must do while in Rio

The guide was fluent in Portuguese, Spanish and English. She gave great and detailed information about the history of the country, the city of Rio de Janeiro, and some buildings we passed along the way. The van was air conditioned and great. The Cristo Redentor was packed yet everyone was kind to each other. Take water with you but they sold it 3 for R$20 (about US$4 for 3 bottles). We also went to the Se Laron steps, be ready to walk up the steps (about 140 or so). It was equally packed also.

Churches, theatres and coffee shops in old Rio

Millene was a fantastic guide. She tailored the trip to suit our family of four, ( including allowances for one with limited mobility) She showed us the highlights of old Rio, from the churches to the theatres - ending up with at a traditional coffee shop for pastries and drinks (coffee, tea and Guarana ) and was very engaging and a most knowledgeable guide.

Highly Recommend This Experience!

An amazing tour from start to finish! It felt like the itinerary was created just for me — because it was! Luis was fantastic, knowledgeable, and made every stop interesting. Everything was well organized, flexible, and tailored to my interests. He took the time to understand what I wanted to see and made thoughtful adjustments along the way, even going a bit over the allotted time n order to do so. I felt well taken care of and enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend!

Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour – Scenic Flights Over Landmarks

Maya_D, Jun 2025

Unbelievable helicopter tour

This experience was AMAZING and so worth the money! I booked the 5pm which was the sunset flight and the views were absolutely beautiful. I opted for the open doors helicopter and even got to stick my feet out the side! The helicopter tour was along the beach and about 30 minutes including a special focus on the Christ the Redeemer! If you do the open doors flight be sure to bring a jacket. The staff was also very very helpful and accommodating with me over WhatsApp message when needed!
