What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

RanjanKumar_M, Aug 2026

Value for Money with lots of Warmth

It was a very well planned trip, with all details taken care of by the lovely English Speaking Guide Monica. She energetically explained all details, the history as well as many anecdotes. Timing was very well maintained. Despite a bit cloudy weather, had a beautiful view from both the tops. It was worth remembering. Thankfully, the other travellers were simply awesome; one each from Serbia, England, Ireland, a couple from US and a father & two sons team from France. It was a lovely experience.

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

Emily_T, Aug 2026

This experience was...

This experience was incredible thanks to our great guide Rodrigo! He was amazing at spotting wildlife, even mimicking the sounds of monkeys to attract them over. He would often stop the car as he managed to spot something high up in the trees including toucans and a sloth! He was very knowledgeable on the history of the area and the plants that grow there too. I would note that the itinerary was slightly different but we were very happy with it and the extra hike to pedra bonita! I'd definitely recommend this tour!

Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves

Debra_W, Aug 2026

A great escape from Rio...an outstanding tour and guide!!

We had a fabulous time on our tour of the Tijuca Rainforest. Our guide, Fabio, was exceptional not only for his knowledge of the rainforest, the birds, sighting a sloth for us, alerting us to the presence of multiple kinds of monkeys but also in sharing his personal experiences in owning lands where he, himself, is reforesting the land. Truly amazing to hear all that has been done to create this forest from a coffee field through the years and have so many diverse species of plants, trees, birds and animals. I highly recommend Fabio as a guide and Itaway Ecotours for their perfect execution of the tour. Obigada!!

Christ the Redeemer Helicopter Tour - Rio de Janeiro

leelynne, Aug 2026

Christ the Redeemer

Every aspect of our booking was very easy and professional. I was contacted within minutes of my booking and the arrangements were made without any fuss. We added transfers from the hotel and were kept updated about the arrival time on the morning of the flight.The team at the heliport were very friendly and explained what was going to happen. The flight was amazing with spectacular views of Copacabana beach and of course, Christ the Redeemer. A fantastic experience and one that I would definitely recommend.

A great experience

Clear communication from tour orgnaisers. Met our guide Ray and travelled to the favela on a minibus. Ray was great throughout the whole tour, really friendly, answered loads of questions and gave us lots of info about the Favela and the people within. We had some great opportunities for photos and even got to play basketball against the locals. We felt safe throughout the tour, would definitely recommend.

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!

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

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: 35 Minutes Doors Off Helicopter Tour Christ

Prisco_M, Jan 2026

Absolutely unforgettable experience!

Flying over Rio de Janeiro by helicopter was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Seeing the city from above is something words can barely describe, the views of the coastline, the mountains, and the city itself were simply breathtaking. Everything felt professional and safe from start to finish. The pilot was friendly, calm, and clearly very experienced, which made the whole experience even better. Taking off and soaring above such an iconic city gave me chills, it’s a totally different perspective of Rio that you just can’t get from the ground. If you’re in Rio and considering this experience, do it without hesitation. It’s worth every second and every cent. I would 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
