Rio tour

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent tourist guide! She went far and beyond and is very knowledgeable, kind and very helpful. The route and the city is beautiful!

Sugarloaf Tour w/ Patricia

Published on Feb, 2025

Had an amazing experience at Sugarloaf Mountain, thanks to our incredible guide, Patricia! Her outgoing personality and deep knowledge of Copacabana Beach, Urca, and the fascinating history behind Sugarloaf’s name made the tour truly special. She was attentive, enthusiastic, and ensured we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Guided tours only way to experience Rio

Published on Jan, 2025

Guided tours has a separate entrance to the park. It’s a shorter line and less waiting in lines. My sister and I were the only customers.

Must Do!

Published on Dec, 2024

Super fun way to take in stunning views! It was a rare cloudy day when we went up but the breaks in the weather surprised us with beautiful cliffside glimpses of the city and the ocean from such a breathtaking viewpoint.

Great tour guide in uncooperative weather

Published on Oct, 2024

Warley was a fabulous tour guide , so knowledgeable, passionate , spoke great English and was very entertaining. Unfortunately the weather was average & we could barely see through the clouds, but it would be beautiful in the sun & I would absolutely book with him again !
