A wonderful Rio tour

I had a great experience on this Rio de Janeiro day tour! The itinerary was well organized and I was able to see some of Rio’s most iconic highlights in one day. A special thank you to our guide, Zeni, who was absolutely fantastic. She was professional and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day.

Fantastic Rio tour

Victor was very friendly and easy to talk to. Overall, the tour was very compressive. If you don’t have lot of time to venture Rio this tour is very good to get a good feel for the city and attractions. My son, who is the same age as Victor, said it is was an amazing experience to have Victor as our tour guide and I completely agree with him! Both him and Sergio, our driver and DJ :), were such fun to hang out with! It should also be noted that Victor spoke excellent English and catered perfectly to the English speaking tourists along with the Portuguese speaking tourists as well. They both also had an excellent sense of humor! Loved every bit of my tour :)

We had an amazing experience on the Private Rio Tour with Nathaly! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire day enjoyable.

Perfect Day in RIO

The sites were beautiful. The food was delicious and plentiful. The guide was kind and took good care of us. The only difficulty was understanding her English. Every Viator tour that I have taken has been worth every cent. Thank you and thank you for your flexibility. I originally scheduled our tour on the wrong day when we were not even in RIO. You were so kind to switch it to the correct week. I would recommend Viator and every one of your tours!

Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide

Samuel_P, Jul 2026

A great walking tour with Russo, born and raised from the favela.

Russo was our tour guide, as advertised. This is a good tour to take if you plan to visit a favela in Rio. Russo was born and raised in Vidigal. He knows the locals very well, and everyone knows him there. We felt 100% safe walking around the favela with him. Russo was very informative with the history and the changes that Vidigal has seen over the years, and in his own lifetime. He took us up the steep hill in a public transport minivan, and we walked down slowly through the winding streets and alleyways of the favela. We had a stop about halfway for a rest at a restaurant - you can order a drink (self pay) and sit for a little while to enjoy the view, watch local life, even part of a football game on TV - the World Cup was on. It was a wonderful tour to see a less glamorous side of Rio, but filled with just as much culture and history. Expect almost 2 hours of walking downhill, with a nice break in between.

Great birthday treat

What a great day out .Lorraine and our driver really made the day special. The weather helped I suppose. Pick up was bang on time even though we had to make our own way there, the coach was spotless and very comfortable. The trip was for my birthday and it was certainly made special by everyone.

Great Day Trip

This is a nice little boat getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of Rio for a day. The bus picked us up right in front of our hotel and it was about a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the boat location. The bus was very comfortable and allowed you to rest. On the way there, we were able choose optional activities (for a fee). I chose to jet ski and have my picture taken with the fishes. The prices were very reasonable. The actual boat was 3 decks and spacious enough to fit around 40 people comfortably. There was good music playing and a fully stocked bar to purchase drinks. There were 4 different spots where we were able to do the activities and swim in the ocean if we wanted. Stop 3 is where we were served lunch. It was buffet style with a decent selection of options. We did have to pay for drinks and dessert if you wanted them. After the last stop, we were able to catch a beautiful sunset over the ocean. We were dropped off at our hotel around 8pm. The experience was definitely worth the money.
