Great day tour

Misha_D, Nov 2024
We had a great day with Pierre our tour guide and Pedro our driver. We were able to customize the locations and timing of places we wanted to go. The only downside was having 4 large adults in the SUV it was very tight because you still have the tour guide and driver, we were expecting to be in a little van with more space but we made it work! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much, Misha, for your kind and honest review! We're very happy to hear that you had a great day exploring with Pierre and Pedro, and that the flexibility to customize your tour added to the experience. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the vehicle space and will certainly take your feedback into account to improve future experiences. Thank you for the recommendation — it means a lot to us! We hope to welcome you again soon!

Dave was knowledgeable,...

Dave was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We liked that he was patient and flexible allowing us to enjoy the experiences at our own pace.

It was okay--not terrible, not great.

Beautiful ride to the top of Sugarloaf. Stopped for lunch at one beach and that was it. My guide had a very canned talk. Thought I would get more history shared and opportunities to get out of the car.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Hello, Mrs. Jill! We usually do this kind of tour starting in the morning and for full day. It is a pity that your tour started at the airport with the flight arriving after 12PM, so your experience was not planned as we wished. When you return to Rio de Janeiro, contact us for make a tour in different sightseeings you haven't been. Best regards!!!
