First time to Rio De Janeiro (very beautiful city), before hop on the cruise ship, I arranged two days tour with “Way To Know Rio”. based on the good reviews from “Tripadvisor.
It was excellent, even my itineraries altered because inclement weather, but still had great times visited many hotspots in the city.
My big thanks to the two truly amazing tour guides -Leandro (1st day) and Gabriella (the 2nd day), both tentative, professional and accommodating, made the trips insightful and memorable.
I highly recommend this company.
Just Give Them A Chance

We had a wonderful experience! Fabi was so friendly, knowledgeable and excellent at navigating lines and crowds. She was very experienced and knew the ins and outs of Rio, which enabled us to see all of the sights that we wanted to see. She also made our safety a high priority and told us which personal items we should bring to each site. She was also great at taking pictures and was able to direct us to the best scenic backdrops. We can’t thank her enough!
Great tour, poor customer support

Igor, the tour guide, was great, attentive, knowledgeable, creative 5/5*. Then, there is the part of the customer service "Way 2 know Rio" headquarters which is 2/5*, because they are not responsive and seem to be uninterested. Wouldn't really recommend the w2kr, which is completely opposite to the tour guy
