The guide is very...

DianaElena_M, Aug 2025

The guide is very knowledgeable and friendly and the information provided was interesting. One downside (which I was not expecting) was that the tour involves quite a few hours of sitting in the car in order to drive between the stops.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your valuable feedback and kind words about our knowledgeable guide. We appreciate you highlighting the travel time; as the tour covers distinct parts of the city, some driving is unfortunately necessary. We have several other tours with a shorter drive and more hours in nature, hiking. But the idea of this tour is to cover many areas, 7 different attractions to show how diverse is RIo's nature (mountains, rainforest, waterfall, view points, beaches and mangrove). To visit all these places in 1 day we need the vehicle and some drive between each one of the attractions.

Enjoyed the tour to the beach, mountains and forest. Very relaxing. Guide from Jungle Me was good and accommodating (sorry I forgot her name).

Response from Host, Apr 2024
