What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Tony_P, Sep 2026

Highly recommended tour

For us, we had a clean slate of what to expect on this tour. We watched Utube videos and yet was still pleasantly surprised about the knowledgeable information we received!!! Our guide was very patient and informative with the whole group, yet took the time for individual one on one sessions when it was available!! We feel our guide Maiko was the difference in making our tour a fantastic experience!!

Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included

Marci_F, Sep 2026

Loves the day!

This was absolutely an amazing day! Make sure you have a little bit of patience of flexibility as the weather and traveling with a group sometimes needs adjustment. Julia was an amazing guide! She balance an incredibly pleasant personality with a little bit of firmness needed to navigate a group of almost 20 people. She was very educational while still engaging with the people in the group. I would certainly take another tour with Julia!

Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves

Andre_C, Sep 2026

There’s a decent hike...

There’s a decent hike that involves some Effort but doable for a wide age group. Sam was an a great tour guide, explaining things along the way and allowed us to get the full experience of the rainforest and waterfalls which were amazing. Highly recommend. He also took really cool pictures in the cave.

Junior was a great guide....

Junior was a great guide. He picked us up at our Airbnb and drove us up to the Tijuca rainforest. There we would hike to see waterfalls or other areas of interest, get back in the car to hike to a batcave, scenic outlooks, and another waterfall that you can wade out to and stand under and then also to the Chinese View that overlooks the whole of Rio. It was a nice mix of walking, riding and friendly conversation.

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

Shannynn_C, Sep 2026

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful private tour with Frederico! Frederico was absolutely wonderful! He took me to so many incredible places throughout Rio and shared so much information about Brazil, the history, the culture, each place we visited, and even things we saw along the way. I learned so much from him throughout the entire day. What really stood out to me was how kind and patient he was. I was having some difficulty walking and was moving more slowly, and he never once made me feel rushed. He was incredibly attentive, helping me cross streets, holding my hand when I needed it, and helping me get on and off the vans and cable cars. I felt very safe and well cared for the entire time. His English was excellent, which made everything so easy, and he was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely kind. Even after the tour was over, he sent me suggestions for other places I might enjoy during the rest of my time in Rio. Frederico went above and beyond and made my day in Rio incredibly special. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a private tour. Thank you, Frederico, for such a memorable day! ❤️

3 Hour Rocinha Favela Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Ana_P, Sep 2026

um passeio fantástico

I keep talking about how epic this Favela tour was. My sister and I booked this tour and were lucky to have Daniel as our tour guide. He was outstanding. He gave us a lot of information about the history of the favelas, fun facts about Rio and much more. This was definitely unlike any other experience I’ve done while traveling.

Every aspect of our booking was very easy and professional. I was contacted within minutes of my booking and the arrangements were made without any fuss. We added transfers from the hotel and were kept updated about the arrival time on the morning of the flight.The team at the heliport were very friendly and explained what was going to happen. The flight was amazing with spectacular views of Copacabana beach and of course, Christ the Redeemer. A fantastic experience and one that I would definitely recommend.

Perfect Customized Rio Tour with an Amazing Guide

We had a wonderful experience touring Rio with Isaac! He customized the day around exactly what we wanted, including Christ the Redeemer, lunch by the bay, and beautiful stops throughout the city. When my husband wasn’t feeling well, Isaac was incredibly flexible and even helped us make an impromptu pharmacy stop, translating for us and adjusting the itinerary with ease. We felt safe, cared for, and never rushed. We enjoyed the tour so much that we would absolutely book with Isaac again when we return to Rio. Highly recommend!

Roxy Dinner Show - Dinner & Show

Jonathan_B, Apr 2026

Amazing Experience

The Roxy Dinner Show was an incredible experience. Fine dining and a spectacular show let us experience an entirely different side of Rio. When we arrived, we were greeted by a photographer for a pre-show photo. We were then escorted to our seat right in front of the stage. The service is on the level of what you expect at any Michelin level restaurant. Dinner was a three course meal and you could choose from different options on the menu. I chose the salad, filet mignon, and chocolate dessert. Each course tasted delightful. The show was fantastic. The show highlights the cultural history and different areas of Brazil. 10/10 show. After the show, we were able to do a meet and greet with some of the performers and take photos with them. I definitely recommend adding this to any itinerary for Rio

Rio : Helicopter tour at Christ the Redeemer - 30 minutes

Brian_L, Feb 2026

Best Helicopter

Took a helicopter ride with Helicopter Rio de Janeiro, and it was a great experience. The helicopter was clean, the pilot was professional, and the staff was friendly and courteous. Karine, one of the managers, was especially great—very helpful and welcoming. Flying up to Christ the Redeemer and along the coastline of Rio de Janeiro was unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re in Rio.

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf: Rio City Tour with Lunch

Judi_K, Jan 2026

Wonderful day

Guilherme and his driver were absolutely wonderful. I travel with a portable oxygen concentrator and walker, and they went out of their way to make sure that everything was as easy as possible, and that I was able to participate in all of the activities. I can’t believe that he speaks so many languages and was able to keep up with everybody. He was able to answer all of our questions and shared lots of history and stories with us. Lunch was in a nice restaurant and food was great. It was a long day, but was definitely well worth it as we covered quite a bit!
