Fun day!

Published on Feb, 2025

We let out guide Diogo choose most of our day. We did the Maze, the Carnival Experience, the monastery, and cathedral. Our lunch was nice and we drove the whole beach from Copacabana to Leblon. Fun day!

Copacabana Beach February 2025

Published on Feb, 2025

Booked 4 trips with Way To Know Rio via WhatsApp, booking process was simple and straightforward. Private half day tour to Christ the redeemer. Private half day tour to Sugar Loaf mountain 30min private helicopter ride around Rio Private tour to Telegraph rock Duncan was our tour guide for 2 days, Issac for 1 day and our driver was Romullo for all 4 days. All were fantastic, very knowledgeable, extremely welcoming and made us all feel very welcome in Rio. Punctual collection from our hotel on each of the four days, car was excellent and very comfortable with AC. Would highly recommend Way to Know Rio, both our guides Duncan and Issac and our superb driver Romullo.

The guide Rafael was fabulous. He knew so much about everything, His English was superb. The driverJohnny was excellent. He certainly knew his way around. I really recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in history.

Best Way To See Rio Hotspots!

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a really great full day tour with Isaac! He picked us up directly from the hotel with a driver so we could easily get to all the key attractions without worrying about parking. This was the best way to see all the key spots in Rio in 1 day! Isaac was super knowledgeable, went out of his way to make sure we had a great day and was generally a pleasure to be around. Very friendly! Would recommend!
