    Do NOT take this tour

    Henry_K, Jan 2026
    Do not take this tour It is not worth the money I wouldn’t even take it for free The Jewish museum is closed and even if it was not this store would not be worth it. There is not enough Jewish history in Rio de Janeiro to justify a full tour. It is a complete waste of time and money. My tour guide was not good. It was like he was trying to put as much fluff information in the Taurus as possible that are nothing to do with Judaism. It was a tour, but it was not good.

    Response from Host, Feb 2026

    Dear Henry, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. We understand that the closure of the Jewish Museum may have influenced your perception of the overall value and depth of the experience. As stated in the tour description, this is a 2-hour private walking tour focused on the historical narrative of Jewish heritage in Rio de Janeiro. Museum entry is not included nor guaranteed, as the experience is designed primarily as an outdoor guided walk. Nevertheless, we fully recognize that when a museum is closed, it can impact expectations and overall satisfaction. We also regret that the guiding style did not align with what you were hoping for. Your comments have been reviewed internally, and we have already escalated this feedback to our product team to further assess the structure and content balance of the tour. In order to address your concerns fairly, a 30% partial refund has already been processed as a gesture of goodwill. We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continuously improve our services. Kind regards, Rosotravel Team
