Our guide Luiz and driver Marcus were exceptional. They were extremely knowledgable and professional. Can't imagine a better tour experience in four hours.

Scam tour took $600 upfront and then no show

Jennifer_H, Oct 2024
No show on trying to confirm pickup and no show for pickup. Paid $600 for hotel pickup and private guide for two locations. Ended up going on our own and cost was about $200 so major scam! Now waiting on a refund.

Fabulous tour and guide well worth the price

Julio was an excellent guide full of energy and knowledge with flawless English. Had a wonderful morning and he knew all the ins and outs to make sure we skipped the line and the crowds. Took lots of photos too. Car was A luxury car (which we didn’t have on some other private tours. Highly recommended

Perfect day in Rio

Detlef_D, Dec 2023
We had a perfect day in Rio!!! Renato our tour guide was exceptional. He made the impossible possible. This was one on the busiest tourist days of the year. We were under time pressure and he always figured out ways to get us where we wanted to be in time. He was very knowledgeable without being always in your face and also gave us time for ourselves. Thank you sooo much Renato. The driver Michael was very kind, drove safe, very flexible to our needs and had always a cold water for us when we came back to the car. This was a day to remember for ever.

Renato was one of the best tour guides I have had while traveling. He went out of his way to make the day special and accommodate our needs. He was extremely knowledgeable and spoke great English. Would recommend the tour to anyone! Request Renato if you book the tour!

Memorable tour.

There was a problem with our reservation for this tour. However, Paulo Farias at Brummie Lines, was quick to fix it. We had a great tour, and we appreciate the care and professionalism of Paulo.

Excellent tour of Corcovado and Sugar Loaf Mountain

Raquel was an excellent private tour guide for our family group of 4. This was our best tour in Rio.

A perfect tour

Linda_O, Jan 2019
We booked a private tour to see Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer and I would rate this as one of the best tours. We had Leo as our guide, we were able to move through crowds quickly, he knew the best spots for pictures and having a nice air conditioned cool car waiting for us was so worth it!

Lynne_M, Apr 2018
Leonardo our guide/driver, was really great and very informative. Christ the Redeemer was an amazing spectacle and a must see as is Sugar Loaf. It all seemed a bit chaotic at the sites, but eventually worked well as we began to understand how it flowed. Leonardo was contactable after each visit, and was back within minutes to collect us. A very enjoyable day.

This was a great tour with H the most amazing tour guide who was so informative and made everything so interesting. We enjoyed it so much we booked another private tour to the favela the following day and this tour was even better. I would highly recommend.

Guy is very knowledgeable and accommodating to our wishes. His command of the English language is amazing! He made our first and probably only trip to Rio a most wonderful experience. Thank you Guy!

What a great tour, a must see if you go to Rio. Very good tour guide and well organised.

John G, Jan 2017
Because of time constraints due to our delayed flight we were unable to get to see Christ The Redeemer Statue or experience the tour in-full, but we did get to visit Sugar Loaf Mountain. Our tour guide was very helpful and told us all about the mountain and traveled with us to the top of both mountains. The lines for the tram were long but they did more rather quickly. The views from the top are incredible. If the weather is clear you can see all different parts of the city of Rio including the Redeemer statue. At the top there are adequate restroom facilities as well as restaurants where you can sit down, refresh yourself and enjoy a drink or a bite to eat.

Sherman K, Jan 2017
Had great experience with Brummie Lines. Got picked up in one of those Dodge/MBZ Sprinter vans which was spacious and clean. The driver was very skilled manipulating the narrow and crowded hills of Corcovado. Our guide was the owner, Raphael, who was very friendly and knowlegeable about not just the sights but how to minimize wait times and crowds. Definitely very flexible with the itinerary and schedule which we appreciate.

Fantastic! We had 2 guides and a driver who were all great......knowledgeable and friendly. This is definitely the way to see these very busy sites.......avoiding transportation snarls and long lines. It was over 100 degrees and we were traveling in air-conditioned comfort., with guides always checking to see if we needed water, showing us where restrooms were, etc. perfect!

Our tour guide was great. The weather was very poor. He made the best of it for us. Taking us to view areas that are not normally part of the tour so we could see the city/valley and all the views. The statue was covered in clouds all day. Our guide was the best. Thanks

Muy buen paseo, tuvimos la suerte de no tener mucha gente en las filas de acceso por lo que el paseo fue bastante cómodo, el guía muy atento y excelente persona. Recomendado.
