Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves

PJ_D, Jul 2026

Wonderful experience

Great tour. Victor the tour guide was amazing. Not very challenging the walk, but still great exercise and excitement. Went by myself, and there were about 7 other solo travelers, as well as a group of friends, and a family. So it's welcoming to all people, regardless of size of your group or solo. I made great friends during this tour.

Our tour guide, Kiko, was...

Our tour guide, Kiko, was perfect for seeing both Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. He mixed in history about both Rio and the sites while giving us time to explore each on our own. Would recommend Kiko and this tour for all future travelers to Rio!

Rio de Janeiro Sunset Sailing Tour with Drinks

Joyce_W, Jul 2026

Fantastic Sailing Cruise

This sailing experience was amazing. Captain & crew were very friendly, answered all questions about the region & landmarks we saw on land. Several choices of beverages were offered along with yummy snacks which were plentiful. The views were beautiful, especially the sunset. The entire experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio!

William_D, Jul 2026

Top of the World!

Eduardo was an amazing guide, taking time to educate me on the foilage and wildlife throughout the tour. He maintained situational awareness for safety and differences in physical limitations of everyone within the group and adjusted the pace accordingly. He is an amazing photographer and picked the perfect locations and set the stage for capturing indelible memories. I recommend this tour for anyone wants to get a snapshot of Brazil's great biodiversity and amazing views from the top, in a short span of time. This tour is the perfect length for those limited on time.

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

Brandy_D, Jul 2026

This one is a must do

If I could have done only one tour in Brazil this was the one to do. I am glad I did the full day tour even though I wasn’t a fan of the salty lunch. The rest was perfect and our guide Marco was awesome. He spoke Spanish and English and made sure everyone understood and showed us how to take the right photos. The driver was nice. I loved this tour

3 Hour Rocinha Favela Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Teresa_O, Jun 2026

Great Tour. Don't miss out!

Great tour by an experienced and caring guide who took great care of us. From crossing busy roads to knowing feet placement - yes, cobbled streets are not for everyone. We had an informatiive glance into another society. It was an eye opener to how marginalized groups survive. Notwithstanding do the tour if you desire an up close and personal review. Just be respectful. Also when you are haggling for Nickle, dimes, euros etc…just remember who you are most impacting because we get to return to our comfortable lives. Buy local if you can on the tour. Its supporting the community 😊

Private Custom Full-Day Highlights in Rio: Only the Best Sights!

The_M, Jun 2026

Perfect Customized Rio Tour with an Amazing Guide

We had a wonderful experience touring Rio with Isaac! He customized the day around exactly what we wanted, including Christ the Redeemer, lunch by the bay, and beautiful stops throughout the city. When my husband wasn’t feeling well, Isaac was incredibly flexible and even helped us make an impromptu pharmacy stop, translating for us and adjusting the itinerary with ease. We felt safe, cared for, and never rushed. We enjoyed the tour so much that we would absolutely book with Isaac again when we return to Rio. Highly recommend!

Half-Day Tour: Christ the Redeemer, Selarón & Sunset at Sugarloaf

jovan_m, May 2026

Great Job!

Great experience with Luciana! Kept us informed and kept us together when other people were touring so we didn’t get lost. Also she very friendly and good at her job. I would recommend her as your guide. I will say to eat before going or bring a snack, you can’t eat until closer to the end due to you going to multiple locations to take photos and time is limited. I still recommend going during the day.

Roxy Dinner Show - Dinner & Show

Jonathan_B, Apr 2026

Amazing Experience

The Roxy Dinner Show was an incredible experience. Fine dining and a spectacular show let us experience an entirely different side of Rio. When we arrived, we were greeted by a photographer for a pre-show photo. We were then escorted to our seat right in front of the stage. The service is on the level of what you expect at any Michelin level restaurant. Dinner was a three course meal and you could choose from different options on the menu. I chose the salad, filet mignon, and chocolate dessert. Each course tasted delightful. The show was fantastic. The show highlights the cultural history and different areas of Brazil. 10/10 show. After the show, we were able to do a meet and greet with some of the performers and take photos with them. I definitely recommend adding this to any itinerary for Rio

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf: Rio City Tour with Lunch

Judi_K, Jan 2026

Wonderful day

Guilherme and his driver were absolutely wonderful. I travel with a portable oxygen concentrator and walker, and they went out of their way to make sure that everything was as easy as possible, and that I was able to participate in all of the activities. I can’t believe that he speaks so many languages and was able to keep up with everybody. He was able to answer all of our questions and shared lots of history and stories with us. Lunch was in a nice restaurant and food was great. It was a long day, but was definitely well worth it as we covered quite a bit!
