Rio de Janeiro Sunset Sailing Tour with Drinks

Patrisha_T, Sept 2026

Relaxing water excursion

This was a lovely excursion with beautiful views. Our guides and staff were friendly and helpful. The weather did not cooperate fully, and we faced some precipitation challenges, but that didn't stop the staff from making the best of things. We still enjoyed delicious drinks, snacks, and music aboard. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to enjoy a nice relaxing afternoon on the water.

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

Amazing Views! So much fun!

Great tour! We had a private guide, Felipe, for the 2 of us, and he was awesome. Really knows his stuff and enjoys showing it to visitors. The views from the top of the rock were amazing! I think calling the trek up there Moderate depends on what you are used to - you are covering quite a bit of vertical distance. I recorded the equivalent of 90 flights of stairs climbed for the day, and that’s about what it felt like. Totally worth it, though. There were other neat stops at some waterfalls, monkeys, caves, the hang glider launching pad, the Chinese View, etc., but the top of the rock was the highlight for sure. We did not go swimming. There was one shallow pool at the bottom of a waterfall where a few local people were in the water, but it did look like it would be worth effort of climbing down there and getting wet. Wear shoes with good traction. Don’t miss this one! Thanks Felipe!

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

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.

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!
