We loved our guide and this tour so much. Don’t save it until your last day as the guide gives great recommendations and key information on sites around the Colosseum. It’s relaxing as you ride on the golf cart, guide was great and from the US and we really enjoyed the whole experience and learned so much and saw so many additional ruins. Highly recommend.

This was a great way to...

This was a great way to experience the main attractions without having to do the planning. The guide collected us from the hotel at the agreed time and everything went really smooth. One downside was the the big queues everywhere but that's outside of the tour operator's control. All in all, this was a great day with 0 stress.

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.

Bike Exploration

You get to see a lot of out of the way sights and learn the history from a knowledgeable guide. They help keep you safe on the bikes and the biking is a lot of fun! Our guide took us to a great pizza spot for lunch that we never would’ve found on our own. A tip for female travelers, make sure you have the support you need to ride over cobblestones!

Skip-the-Line: Sugarloaf Mountain Cable Car Ticket

Amy_J, Feb 2026

Well worth it!

I read many reviews that said this was well worth it, and I couldn’t agree more. I spent over two hours exploring both beautiful stops. Had I not had the skip the line, I would’ve had an additional (at least) two hours of just waiting. There are signs that are marked priority/fast. Make sure you go through those marked areas and the staff will help move you through.

Colleen_K, Feb 2026

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!

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.

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.
