An enjoyable way to see Rio de Janeiro
It was a wonderful trip. The guide, Fabio, was knowledgeable and helpful. We started early in the morning to avoid the crowds. This was great for Christ the Redeemer, but the Sugarloaf cable car had large crowds. Still while returning we saw even larger crowds waiting for the cable cars. The lunch was quite lavish. Overall, despite the long waiting times, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip and would strongly recommend it.

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 :)

Amazing tour, personalized experience a great way to see the sights of Rio
We booked the private tour for a party of 4 people. Our tour guide was Fabi and we also had a private vehicle with a driver. For starters having our own private vehicle made the experience that much more comfortable, it also allowed us to do the tour at our own pace and to customize it based on what we wanted to see.
Our tour guide was Fabi and she was amazing, very friendly and knowledgeable. She knew where to go and what to do to maximize our experience at the different locations we visited. From where to go to take amazing pictures to things to try at each location we visited.
The day was well planned as we managed to see all the sights we wanted to see including some we were not even aware of. We visited Christ the Redeemer, the Sugar Loaf Mountains, Escadaria Selaron, the Cathedral of San Sebastian and a few other sights along the way.
I would highly recommend doing a private tour like this, as we got to see a lot more than we would have if we did a group tour. It also helped to have our own private vehicle which made it easier to get around as we were able to leave our bags and shopping in the vehicle if we needed to.
The tour doesn't include lunch but you do have the opportunity to stop for lunch. Overall I would highly recommend this tour, Fabi was amazing and really made the experience that much more enjoyable. I would recommend her and this tour to anyone visiting Rio, especially if you only have a few days there and want to make the most of it.

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!

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.

Greatest Tour in Brazil!
Isaac was a tremendous tour guide! The entire day spent exploring Rio from Jesus the Redeemer to Sugar Loaf Mountain was excellent! The driver was on point and the tour was 10/10 from start to finish! Booking a private tour vs a group is so worth the money!

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.

Peter the Great
Peter is a very skilled tour guide and it became clear at every destination that everyone knew him and treated our group with preference. He provided insights and kept the tour moving although it was a very long day. The lunch at a Brazilian steakhouse was great. Would highly recommend.

Amazing tour!
Amazing tour, a side of Rio that you definitely need to see. I’m not really sure if the tour was great, or our amazing tour guide Emma made it be amazing. She is the best tour guide that we have for a very long time, thank you Emma and thank you for showing us your beautiful country!

It is a great tour for...
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.
