Top Rio de Janeiro Bus Tours - page 5

Our guide (and I lost her name) picked us up from the hotel in her own car on time. There were 2 of us and 2 others only. We first went to Santa Theresa - a very nice neighbourhood, but most things closed on a Monday - pity. I was at first disappointed when we were told we were now heading downtown, expecting to see more of what we had already seen, but I was pleasantly surprised. Our guide went out of her way to make it worthwhile and pleasant. If you want to see more of Santa Theresa, I suggest going on a Sunday and maybe not on a tour.

Marcos was friendly, timely and accommodating! We had a great day in Rio and went to all of the ‘must see’ spots we wanted to visit! We topped it off with a great dinner. We had one hiccup and the tour operator was quick to accommodate and respond! I recommend and appreciated the fun time we had in RIO!

This was top tier!! I was disappointed that I couldn't take pictures in the beginning but no big deal. I understand the reason. While the ladies were putting decorations on a piece I asked to help and they let me. That was cool. Learning all the information was very interesting. The costume activity was fun!! The dancing was super fun. So glad I arranged this for my group. Highly recommended.

Hands down one of the best companies we have dealt with during our travels. We were late due to traffic and they made accommodations so that we could still fly. We felt welcomed and invited. The entire team from ground crew to the managers and the pilot all went above and beyond. We had an epic flight around all the promised landmarks. It was a great way to begin our trip and get a lay of the land tour. The reception crew welcomed us with coffee and a brief explanation of what to expect. Then we proceeded to the flight line where the ground crew and pilot took care of our safety and communication. After liftoff it was a blissful view of the chaos of Rio and the surrounding area. The tour was informative and fun. Throughout the rest of our trip we could repeatedly say “Oh we saw that from the helicopter.”. We are pretty sure that the rest of our tour group was jealous of our time in the sky. The company is top notch. The employees there make you feel safe and pampered and allow you to relax and enjoy the flight.

It is a great tour for everyone interested in the fight for sustainability and the future of our planet. We really enjoyed the walk along Olympia boulevard. Yasmin is a great guide, she gave us a really good insight not only for the museums but for Rio and Brazilian culture.

I loved this tour! Our tour guide, Renato, was funny, informative, and kind. You get to see the most iconic parts of Rio. The tour is quick-paced. Some people might like this or not, for me it was perfect because the information regarding the landmarks was shared during our commute and once we arrived, we got to enjoyed the place with pictures. I recommend this tour if you have a short stay in Rio!

Although the tour guide struggled with his English he still manage to pull it off. We covered all the tours and even came with a couple of bonus like tasting wine and bringing us to this small platform as we descend the Chrost the Redeemer to have a good view of the Statue and the city

Our tour guide, Wellington, was awesome! He gave us amazing information and brought us to some great places to eat, drink, and hang. For anyone visiting, go with an open mind and a willingness to see life through another's eyes. What you'll find is that life is magnificent, fast, and beautiful. You'll meet locals, have time to get food and shop, and get to appreciate the true beauty of life in the Favelas. My husband and I found life there to be its own work of art. And it's a form of art the we personally loved. We had so much fun and would go back again. It was truly captivating and the highlight of our trip. It's going to sound silly, but my favorite part was looking at the electrical wiring, it was just very pretty to me! Ps, best drinks in Rio 🧉🧉🧉they be doing heavy pours Again, I would not recommend you go if you are not open minded or if you are going to be judgemental. You are visiting a place that thousands call home. Be respectful of the people and be appreciative that they've welcomed you into their home. And most importantly- TIP YOUR GUIDES!!!! None of the Europeans on our tour tipped, and that's not cool. They tip in Brazil! Fellow Americans - tip your guides like you'd tip your guides in the states. Don't be cheap! Other advice, wear good walking shoes and be prepared to walk a lot of steps. If you have issues walking I would not recommend going. Also I'd recommend dressing down. I was dressed up and was fine it was more so that my long skirt made walking the steps more difficult.
