Fast Pass (VIP) is a Must

Jal was a very nice and accommodating tour guide. I was rushing to try and get amazing sunset pictures and he made it happen! Our meet up was at 5, but with sunset at 5.17, there wasn’t much time. He had our VIP (skip the line) tickets ready as soon as I got there and we made it up the cable car lines so quickly that I had time to capture some great sunset photos and grab a complimentary beer on the way up! I really wanted to get the pictures that afternoon since the next 2 days in Rio were expected to be cloudy. Jal understood the assignment and exceeded expectations to make that happen!
