Excellent tour and sites....

This tour was everything it said and more. Our tour guide Ricardo was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and just overall wonderful to be around. We booked the half day but decided to extended to the full day to include a visit to Christ the Redeemer because we were enjoying ourselves and given we had a wonderful tour guidd. The group size was not too big. We did not have to stay in long lines as Ricardo got our tickets for us. Overall 5 stars for the company that organized this trip and 10 starts for Ricardo!!

Pretty good tour

My only complaint is that Viator put me in a group with a guide that didn’t speak English. I’m not sure why that was done when I requested an English guide. If it wasn’t for other English speaking people on the tour I would have missed a lot of information. The tour itself is good though. Going in the morning is the best time to see Sugarloaf as you avoid the huge crowds. The photos you will get are out of this world.

Hi! Thanks for your comment! We are glad that you were amazed by Rio. We are sorry for this situation, it is really odd, our guides are bilingual. But we're glad you enjoyed it!
