Rome Catacomb & Appian Way Small-Group Tour by Golf Cart

Terry_A, Apr 2026

Early Christian History in Rome

The golf cart experience was very comfortable. We could not have done the bike tour. We not only saw the Appian Way and Catacombs, but also many sites of Rome on the Way to the Appian Way. The guide. Federico, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic in sharing. We appreciate his sincerity and respect for the Christian experience.

Appian Way Aqueducts Bike Tour (Catacombs & Lunch Option)

Angelica_L, Apr 2026

A definite workout, but with rewarding views and sights!

Wow. This tour was amazing and we saw lots of very interesting things! The tour guides (Gio and Luca, hi!) were very informative and knew so much about the city, I loved hearing them talk about the history and culture. However, I currently cannot feel my posterior due to the immensely bumpy terrain that lasted a short while. Beware of the big stones! Side note: Beware of little British boys though. They came for me and my small child as we rode a bike with trailer, and we did unfortunately, take a tumble. Their mother was a nuisance. Terrible parenting.

Rome EBike Tour: Appian Way, Catacombs & Roman Aqueducts

Amy_M, Apr 2026

Amazing way to experience the catacombs, Appian way and aquaducts!

We did this tour with our four kids aged 7-13 years old. The 7 year old rode in an extension with her dad. The rest of the kids managed well on their own bikes, including our 9 year old. They gave us a water bottle and bikes had zippered bags for storage in the front. We really loved the tour. We wish we had brought gloves because it was still a bit cold at the end of March. We brought our own helmets but didn’t need to - they had plenty in good condition that would have fit all of us as well.

The Best Half Day in Rio with Christ Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Hill

Kim_S, Mar 2026

Great way to save on cruise ship excursions!

Meilin was an excellent guide and a great “cat herder”. She had to keep looking for some of the group as they weren’t following directions but she took it all in stride and left no one behind. She stayed on schedule and knew the best times to get everything done. It was a great way to see the major sites. Would recommend highly.

Rio de Janeiro : Official Roxy Dinner Show - Dinner + Show

Anupam_B, Mar 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Night at the Roxy Dinner Show – A Must-Do in Rio!

The Roxy Dinner Show in Rio de Janeiro was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt elegant, vibrant, and unmistakably Brazilian. The venue itself is beautifully designed, blending classic Rio glamour with modern production. The show was spectacular. The performers were incredibly talented—dancers, singers, and musicians delivering an energetic celebration of Brazilian culture. The choreography, costumes, lighting, and music were all world-class. You get to experience a journey through Brazil’s rhythms—from samba to bossa nova—presented with incredible passion and precision. The dinner was also excellent. The food was well prepared, flavorful, and nicely presented, with a great variety that pairs perfectly with the entertainment. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. What really makes the experience special is the energy and authenticity of the performance. You can feel the pride in Brazilian culture, and the audience becomes part of the celebration. If you’re visiting Rio and want a memorable evening combining great food, music, dance, and culture, the Roxy Dinner Show is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended! 🇧🇷✨ Tip: Arrive a little early so you can soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the full experience.

To visit Rio in one day

Christ the redeemer and the Sugarloaf mountain are the must go in Rio. Our guide Christiane is very patient and professional. We had sufficient time to take photos in a tight schedule. Also, today is Sunday. It took more time to line up for the cable car than usual. Lunch provided was okay. Overall speaking, it was a wonderful tour!

Best tour ever! Don’t go on your own - you’ll miss half of it!

The best tour I’ve ever been on! Don’t go to the sites on your own. Firstly some of the places are not so safe but the wonderful guide Emma showed us where to go and be safe. However it’s beating the MASSIVE crowds that was so great. We would never have got in and seen so much in our own. The lines were so long but we were always in the very best spot to cut the lines! The lunch was amazing! Not some cheap boxed lunch but a proper glamorous restaurant and the food was non-stop! Amazing!

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.

Get the Fast Pass

You can definitely get this attraction cheaper at the official website but I couldn’t get my credit card to work. At first there was not a long line and I thought I wasted my money on fast pass but it was definitely worth the money at the other stops. Remember you have lines at four different stops.

Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour without Doors

Jeffrey_T, Dec 2025

Amazing doors-off helicopter experience with Rio2Fly.

Hanging out of the helicopter at two points, once over the ocean just off the coastline and again near Christ the Redeemer, was absolutely exhilarating. Seeing the statue and the city from this perspective is something you can’t get any other way. Flying along the coastline was a highlight, with the ocean on one side and the city on the other. The views were incredible and the whole experience felt safe, professional, and very well run. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique and memorable way to see Rio.

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.
