Not a great experience

Maria_M, May 2024

We booked this trip as part of a 3 day pre-cruise holiday in Brazil. It was a full day trip so 8 hours in length. We had booked the 'English' version for our tour. The tour guide was hopeless and struggled with English. He seemed happier speaking in Spanish / Portugese, although even guests that could spak Portugese said he was terrible. He arrived 40 mins late, after we had been told to get to the meeting point 15minutes early! We got no apology. He also struggled to give a commentary on the sites we passed and did not give us an overview of the day before we started. ie. what order were we doing the itinerary and where were the toilet stops.. Some of the stops i.e. the Maracana Stadium, were a total waste of time. We all had to get off the bus to take photos of concrete walls. Despite the morning starting off beautiful, by the time we got to Christ the Redeemer in the afternoon the clouds had come in and visibility was non existent. This should have been the highlight of the tour and I would have expected that the weather would have been checked in the morning so that we could avoid the experience being ruined. Despite everything, we ended up having a good time as we had fun with the other people on the trip. I would maybe recommend people undertake a half day tour as this was just too long!

Great full day excursion

Crin_F, Apr 2024

This tour was a great experience. The bus was really nice and the guide spoke good English and was very informative. They were also right on time on the morning. We got a lot done in one day - visited Cristo Redentor, drive by the soccer stadium, stopped by the cathedral that looks like a pyramid, saw the seladon steps and finally took the cable car up to sugarloaf mountain. The spot for lunch was a buffet and it was very satisfactory. Desserts and drinks were extra.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Out of the fog

Richard_V, Apr 2024

After a scary start, due to our mixup up meeting spots, all was great, due to the guide’s persistence in finding us. Too bad for us, that the Cristo Redentor was so shrouded in fog, that we had trouble seeing it, even while we were actually touching it. Regardless, it was a great day and introduction to the city.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hello! We're very happy to hear that your day was enjoyable (despite the turbulent start and the fog at Christ the Redeemer)! Our team is very committed to satisfying our customers, whatever the adversity. That's why we work with the best professionals in Rio! Thank you very much for your kind review and for choosing Rio Carioca Tour!

Everything but the Van

Alan_K, Mar 2022

The views are breathtaking, the guide terrific. The train was great, the. Cable cars were incredible but the poor AC in the van was unacceptable. It should have been repaired before taking us out.

Response from Host, Mar 2022
