Unsavory start but good end

Moein_A, Dec 2025

We opted to take a private tour which cost us multiple over than the normal price for this tour in order to meet our ship departure time. Unfortunately, the day before the scheduled day for the tour. the operator contested that that the tour was private and was planning on having another guest on the tour with us to which we objected. He later apologized after we have told him how much we had paid for this tour when then he redeemed the situation by sending on a private taxi with its nice guide driver. Thereafter, the tour proceeding very well.. The pre-start was unsavory but the end was good. The communication between Viator and its operator should have been clear in the first place. Another issue we had with this booking was that Viator had charged our card the full amount not passing on the 5% discount on the other tour as shown on their confirmation. Must do better

Response from Host, Dec 2025

Dear Viator Support Team, We formally reiterate our total disagreement with keeping this review published on our operator page and state clearly that Trip in Rio Private Day Tours bears no responsibility whatsoever for the negative points raised by the client. What happened in this case is both simple and serious: The client customized conditions directly with Viator, through your sales and support channels. Those conditions were never communicated to the local operator at any stage. Lacking a proper channel to complain about Viator itself, the client ended up misusing the operator’s review page as a platform to criticize Viator. This is unacceptable. The review does not address failures in local service delivery, guiding, transportation, or tour execution. On the contrary: the tour was delivered the service was successfully completed the experience was upgraded to a private vehicle and dedicated professional guide, at no additional cost the guide provided excellent service, acknowledged during the tour itself Despite this, our company was penalized for issues that originated exclusively on Viator’s side, including: sales conduct internal communication failures unauthorized customization billing and discount handling Trip in Rio was not part of these negotiations, was not informed, and did not authorize any customization beyond the officially booked product. Formal operator position Due to the recurring nature of these situations, we hereby register our formal position: Trip in Rio will no longer accept customizations made by Viator without prior formal communication and written confirmation Any tour that deviates from the scope, schedule, or conditions stated in the official booking will be subject to cancellation The operator cannot and will not absorb reputational damage resulting from internal platform failures Maintaining reviews like this demonstrates a lack of protection for local operators and undermines any claim of partnership. We formally request that this review be: removed, or clearly disassociated from the operator’s profile As it refers exclusively to Viator’s processes, not to the operator’s service. We expect an objective response and trust this matter will be treated with the seriousness it deserves. Sincerely, Ederson Oliveira Trip in Rio Private Day Tours Local Operator – Rio de Janeiro

Highlight of our Rio vacation

Rebecca_B, Jan 2020

My husband and I did this 5 hour tour of Rio on the last day of our trip in January 2020 and it was by far the highlight of our vacation. Ederson is professional yet extremely personable, and his knowledge of Rio's history and culture is superb. He made us feel like VIPs, with all the tricks, tips, and shortcuts to make our visits to each site not only significantly more efficient but also set us up for the most optimal experience at each location. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio de Janiero!

Response from Host, Feb 2020
