Perfect hike in the rainforest, great guide
We were a group of 10 friends (5 couples). Our guide was Alejandro. We were exceptionally grateful to meet such a human being who explained so much about Brazil, Rio and the rainforest. He even saved caterpillars carefully taking them out from the pathway. Such a person you won’t meet every day.
The hike was also wonderful, the waterfall was amazing.

Christ the Redemmer and Sugar Loaf Mountain
This was an amazing tour. To do Christ the Redemmer and the Sugar Loaf Mountain in 7 hours was the best use of our time. The views from both are iconic and was a pleasure to do. Both sites are busy and by doing a tour you have priority access. Would highly recommend doing this tour.

The activity I liked most to do in Rio
It was simply the activity I liked the most to do in Rio. Martin in the reception and then Rosa who guided us were inexceedable. The fact that the guides are local makes all the difference and helped demystify an idea we have wrong about what it is and how life is lived in Rocinha.

We had a blast on this...
We had a blast on this tour. Eduardo was a fantastic guide who kept things fun & entertaining while making sure we had everything we needed throughout the hike. He was great at pointing out good views, notable plants and spotting animals for us to see, and the caves and waterfalls were awesome. Highly recommend

Well worth the money and time
Rio is a rich city with a great deal of history, culture, and political diversity. The tour speaks to all of it in a day. You will see and hear about all of this in the day you're with the guide. Gustavo was excellent, well versed, and his passion about the city showed. It is an excellent way to get to know Rio just a bit better.

Roxy Dinner Show
The meal was good. Not the best meal we had while in Rio, but good enough. The opening act was “ok.” It was a lot of time to fill before the main event. Honestly, it was an extremely long evening and we were on the verge of leaving after dinner, which would have been one of the biggest mistakes ever because the “show” was SPECTACULAR! I grew up going to broadway shows and this Brazilian cultural experience was one of the best shows ever! I knew less than 5% of the words sung or spoken and yet I felt like I was a part of the culture and with family. What an amazing experience. Kudos!

Amazing 7 hour private tour with Higor!
Did a private tour led by an incredible guide, Higor. Very well versed in English, extremely knowledgeable about local history and culture and incrediblly “connected” with the workers at each site. He was greeted at every location like he was the local mayor! I purchased skip the line tickets and “skipping lines” was an understatement! Higor escorted me past other groups with guides and right into the heads of the lines up and back Sugar Loaf. He also is an excellent photographer and could use not only my iPhone to take pics of me but also my pro Canon DSLR. It was such a wonderful experience and I always felt safe and looked after. THANK YOU HIGOR!!!!!

Fun with clouds
Allesondro was our guide. He was knowledgeable and kept a larhe group on task. He had a couple group members that didn't follow directions but he still handled it with grave. The sights were amazing and lunch at the steakhouse was great! The weather was a bit cloudy for good pictures but that is not in control of tour group.

Excellent
Excellent tour, I would definitely recommend doing it. Very nice visit to all three sites with ample time to spend at each, particularly Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf. Our tour guide Jonas was great! He gave a nice history of Rio while also giving us information on the sites we were visiting. My wife and I both feel the tour was well worth our time!

Fun-Filled Tour
What can I say about this fantastic nine hour experience of visiting Christ The Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain & the Rio City Tour which included a trip to the famous Macarena Stadium (even though sightseeing was restricted to only the exterior of the Stadium though😊, it was still worth it), the magnificent Catedral Metropolitana de Sao Sebastiao, the noted Escadaria Selaron Steps & not forgetting the sumptuous buffet lunch we all had at a wonderful restaurant. AWESOME is the word to describe this tour.
This incredible and memorable experience was made possible for my two children and I by this Company (Rio Carioca Tour), Katrin the hardworking, very very patient and marvelous Company’s Tour Guide & the lovely Tour Driver who drove us for so many hours to these places.
The price for the tour with this Company was also very reasonable considering all the numerous places we visited & the buffet food we ate at the restaurant.
‘Obrigado’ Katrin & Rio Carioca Tour Team for making our Rio de Janeiro holiday a truly special one.

A wonderful discovery of Rio with Tatiana!
We were lucky to get to know Rio with Tatiana during our last day and it was an excellent experience.
From the beginning she was very punctual, kind, and especially patient, something that we appreciated very much because we were traveling with our three children. She adapted at all times to our pace, without ever pressuring us, and she was always attentive, asking us if we were okay or if we needed anything.
Your explanations were very interesting and allowed us to get to know and understand the city much better. In addition, she had excellent coordination and rapport with the driver, which made the whole tour very comfortable and smooth.
We ended our trip to Brazil with a beautiful memory of Rio. We would recommend Tatiana without a doubt, especially to families traveling with children. Thank you very much for making our last day so special

Rio de Janeiro isn't called “The Marvelous City” for nothing—and its staggering beauty begs to be discovered from multiple angles. Book a sightseeing package to tick off many of its top attractions in one day, from the evocatively named Sugarloaf Mountain to the sky-high Christ the Redeemer. Then, soak up more magnificent views on a sunset sailing excursion, aboard a helicopter, or, for daredevils, with a paragliding adventure. Other Rio de Janeiro tours will immerse you in the city's vibrant culture, whether you catch a futebol game, watch a samba performance, or dine like a Carioca during a market visit.
