Serafeim_T, Nov 2025

It is a day tour for the main attractions of the city if you only have a day or two in Rio de Janeiro. You get to see many different places, but you don’t have a lot of time to spend in each site, which makes it a bit stressful. We have chosen the lunch option and there we had enough time and food. Big shoutout to our hostess Gabi for being so polite, attentive and helpful.
