★★★★★ Amazing Rio Day Tour — Highly Recommend!

sheela_y, Sept 2026

Wonderful experience from start to finish! Our guide Pierre and the driver gave excellent customer service throughout the day. Even with limited time, we managed to see all the popular attractions comfortably and without feeling rushed. Pierre was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely funny — he made the tour so much more enjoyable. They were great at avoiding long lines, and the air-conditioned van was always waiting nearby so we could rest between stops. For everything you get — tickets, transport, lunch, and a great guide — this tour is real money's worth. If you're considering a day tour in Rio, it's absolutely worth it!

Great experience.

Jackson our driver and Israel our guide were extremely good and helpful. Had a great experience seeing Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, lunch and the ceramic steps. Great day had by all. Would recommend this tour.
