Per one customer who booked the Private Boat Tour In Rio – Tour With Barbecue and Drinks, "Had a great tour around 2 different swimming spots around the Rio Bay Area. Also got to see the beautiful sights of Rio from the water. The staff was very kind and accommodating, always asking if we wanted more food and drinks. Special thanks to Rico, who went above and beyond to make great caipirinhas and BBQ through the whole trip! I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!"
