What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Patrick_L, Aug 2026

An excellent and very experienced guide.

Newton was my private tour guide for 2 day tour of Rio. He is a very nice gentleman, knowledgeable and flexible enough to accomodate all my changes. On second day late afternoon evening we visited the night market of Copacabana beach. We also went to see the dinner/show of Roxy which provide a comprehensive cultural history of Brazil. I learnt a lot. I highly recommend Newton as a guide.

Corcovado Express: Morning Tour in Rio de Janeiro

tmmeredithjohnson, Jun 2026

Peter was definitely a...

Peter was definitely a good time! He kept us on schedule, accommodated me since I was traveling the same day, and still made sure we had a great experience despite the weather not being the best. If it was this good on a bad weather day, I can only imagine how amazing it would be on a perfect one. Thank you again, Peter! 🇧🇷✨

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

Bergen_B, Jun 2026

Thank you Augusto!!

Augusto was such a great tour guide for our first Rio trip. He was knowledgeable, caring and very engaging. His English is fantastic and he was kind enough to switch between English and PT since we had varying levels of fluency. We also really appreciated both the customizability and his input since we were experiencing a rainy Rio day. Overall, a fantastic experience

Half-Day Tour: Christ the Redeemer, Selarón & Sunset at Sugarloaf

jovan_m, May 2026

Great Job!

Great experience with Luciana! Kept us informed and kept us together when other people were touring so we didn’t get lost. Also she very friendly and good at her job. I would recommend her as your guide. I will say to eat before going or bring a snack, you can’t eat until closer to the end due to you going to multiple locations to take photos and time is limited. I still recommend going during the day.

Best Guided Tour in Rio

Day well spent visiting the best spots in Rio with lunch at a Brazilian steakhouse in Ipanema. We were a small group of 11 only and had a pleasant experience hitting all the top Rio sights in a day. Our tour guide, Peter, was very organized, knowledgeable and personable. Our driver, Wendell, did a good job getting us to the many stops efficiently and safely. Highly recommend this full-day tour!

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf: Rio City Tour with Lunch

Belinda_L, Jan 2026

Highly recommend this tour

This is my first visit to Rio de Janeiro. This is the best way to visit the 2 important tourist spots in Rio - Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer, as well as the others. Communications is good, we are contacted by the tour operator on the evening before. Pick up is efficient and didn’t spend a lot of time to go to different places. Our tour guide Joao spoke good English and took good care of us. He also gave us tips to other interesting places that was not covered by this tour. Lunch was buffet type and good.

Favela Tour in Rio de Janeiro

Petrus_K, Jan 2026

A must do for anyone who wonders about the Favelas

Our guide Meilin was very nice and informative. The Favela tour is a must for anyone who has never done it and it is safe (some are not). Gives you a good perspective of what life in the Favelas is about and also gets rid of some preconceived myths. Highly recommended. Be warned - LOTS of stairs to climb though!

William_C, Dec 2025

Outstanding Tour of Rio

Luís Darin was a terrific guide. After 3 days of private tours we found it difficult to see sites we had not already seen. Luís came up with some good ones for us an managed to make the whole day exciting. Our favorite “off the beat” activity was our trip to the Botanical Gardens (Note: admission to the gardens is not included in tour price) but was well worth the cost. Simply beautiful. Aside from that, Luís was a regular Tarzan. He could identify every plant & tree, every animal making a noise, and even make animal calls to attract the animals for photos. He also took us to various markets and to the St Teresa district for a traditional Brazilian lunch. Great guide. Highly recommend him

Rio de Janeiro: 35 Min Helicopter Tour Christ the Redeemer

Shenna_W, Nov 2025

Hands down the best helicopter company.

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.

Catherine_F, Oct 2025

Wonderful trip with all the must-sees!

It was really a hard hitting who’s who of Rio- we saw I think all the major attractions in an absolute whirlwind! The timing was very good for the most part. Maybe a few more minutes could have been spent here or there, but you’ll see everything, rain or shine!
