Jane S, Jan 2017
When time is short or you want to see a lot and the tour lines are long, the Private Tour of Rio is a MUST! Our guide, Daniela, was awesome, gracious, and flexible. She was able to take us to all the places we wanted to see and cut through long lines we never thought possible. The sights were amazing and the food at the Brazilian steakhouse she took us to was fabulous -- making us wish we could stay longer. Thanks, Viator and thank you, Daniela, for making our brief stay in Rio an unforgettably wonderful.
