Great early tour
Liamk1997, 06-11-2022
This tour was great. Our tour guide Monica was fantastic, she was always very clear and had lots of interesting information from start to finish. I had tried to go to see Christ the redeemer earlier on in the week but was not able to due to the cloudy weather. I only had one last day in Rio and needed an early tour in order to see it. Thanks to this tour I was able to see it. Thank you to Monica for a great morning tour.
Excellent tour and tour guide.

I booked the morning Christ the redeemer & Sugar loaf mountain tour, however due to bad weather (heavy mist) we could not see anything. Our tour guide Carmen was amazing, she kept apologising (so sweet!) and made the best out of a bad situation and added on extra cool places to visit downtown (I paid an extra 100R$, since I had not previously booked the whole day tour).

I am a solo traveller and wanted to do the the major attractions with a English speaking tour guide and Carmen's English was perfect.

I would recommend this company to anyone looking to do activities in Rio de Janeiro the company are great at responding to any messages via email or WhatsApp.

This tour is very good. Our guide was great in english, and very nice to talk to as well(Glad she loves the Philippine food I gave her). We were one of the first up there. And by the time we left, there was a crowd. If you want to take pics with Christ with few people as possible, take this tour!
