What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

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

Jeanne_M, Mar 2026

South America 2026 w/Dave Koz and friends

We had an incredible experience on our private 5-hour tour in Rio de Janeiro! Our guide, Gabi, was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and so warm and engaging throughout the day. She handled all the logistics seamlessly, helping us avoid long lines and making the entire experience stress-free. Visiting Sugarloaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer was absolutely breathtaking, and Gabi shared so much interesting history and local insight that really brought each site to life. She also made sure we had plenty of time for photos and knew all the best spots for the most amazing views. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip, and we can’t recommend it enough—especially with Gabi as your guide!

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

Donald_F, Mar 2026

Appian Way, Catacomb, and More!

Wonderful golf cart tour experience with Silvia. She arrived at the tour company’s soon to be new location (which isn’t marked in any way) 15-minutes before the start of the tour. The golf cart was clean and ready for the forecasted occasional rain and cooler temperature. Silvia was friendly and extremely knowledgeable on the history and sights we saw. She did a fabulous job of navigating extremely busy traffic, keeping us on time for scheduled sites at the catacombs, and keeping us safe at the same time. We covered a lot of ground and saw many things. We even got a rainbow while passing Circo di Massenzio. The catacomb was amazing. The churches were beautiful and fascinating. A tour that is well worth the time and the price. Highly recommended.

Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls

Mcacorr, Mar 2026

Enjoying day in the rainforest

Sergio was an awesome guide, informative and very funny!! We saw birds and local animals, learned about the forest and different trees as well as Rio facts and interesting information. Tip… don’t forget your bug spray, we came home to tiny , unnoticed bites.

Appian Way Aqueducts Bike Tour (Catacombs & Lunch Option)

Anonymous, Mar 2026

We took this tour on...

We took this tour on Friday, March 13. Alex was our tour guide - from the beginning, he was very attentive to make sure we were all able to get the hang of the e-bikes. There were frequent stops, where he provided stories and information about what we were seeing. The tour included a stop at the Catacombs, where we seamlessly joined a scheduled English-speaking tour group. After the Catacombs stop, there was a lunch stop at an Italian country club - delicious! On our particular tour, it began raining quite heavily during the last hour. Alex was very professional about it all, and gave us options as to how to finish out the tour when it appeared that we would have to "ford" a deep section of water: go back and go a different way, or weather through it with wet shoes. We chose the latter, and despite the rain it was a very memorable and fun experience. Would highly recommend Roma StarBike!!

Swim Under Tijuca Waterfalls — Hike, Caves, Wildlife & Rio Views

Elizabeth_A, Mar 2026

Phenomenal tour, our...

Phenomenal tour, our guide was exceptionally fluent and answered all our questions while providing excellent history of the forest and wildlife. We saw beautiful waterfalls and wild toucans which were breathtaking. The caves were very cool and the hike was a good level of difficulty (mild to moderate stairs/incline) but we had good breaks and it wasn’t too tiring. 10/10 great experience

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.

Rome EBike Tour: Appian Way, Catacombs & Roman Aqueducts

Hannah_A, Mar 2026

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.

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

Joseph_W, Feb 2026

Excellent

Excellent Tour. Gustav our guide was fantastic and kept everyone up to date with what was happening and stories along the way - actually you could just spend a whole day listening to him learning about Rio and the history! First stop was Christ the Redeemer, quick stop at Macarana Stadium, Cathedral, Escadaria Selaron. Stop for lunch buffet selection with good choices then on to Sugarloaf Mountain. Tour finished around 3.30 drop off back at hotels. 10/10 would recommend

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.

Full Day in Rio: Christ by Train, Sugarloaf, Selarón & Barbecue

Paul_S, Feb 2026

Excellent day tour of Rio

Great day out. Stuck to schedule. Joao the guide was great. Really knew his stuff. Great mix of time with guide and time on our own. Would recommend the full tour and train for this tour. Joao knew a bad storm was coming (a severe weather alert was issued locally) and made sure we got down from Sugar Loaf mountain in plenty of time and back to our hotels safely.

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.
