    Not easy to get a refund, but easy for them to not deliver.
    Tanya_P, Jan 2024
    We waited at the destination to be picked up and tried to contact the Tour operator several times. All of the calls I made went to voicemail. I called Viator and was able to talk to somebody, but they would not refund my money for 72 hours it’s only been 24 hours now, but I still don’t have a refund and no correspondence regarding a refund.
    Great experience

    A little disorganized to start over starting time but the tour was great. The tour guide was very helpful and it’s a long day but hard to beat with lunch included.
    The most terrifying tour I’ve ever taken- do not take this tour.
    Sarah_B, Mar 2023
    I wish I had listened to the negative reviews and not booked this. The guide never picked me up, and then when I called them, they ended up sending me an Uber and not telling me where it was going, and I don’t speak Portuguese. At the second location where the Uber dropped me off (a random area of town that didn’t feel safe), the guide was not there. I had to find somewhere safe to go inside and call the guide. He then demanded i come to find the group at their first stop and was extremely rude (despite him forgetting to pick me up). He spoke no language, despite my paying for an English speaking tour. We could only communicate because I speak Spanish so we could sort of understand each other. I finally demanded he come get me because I wasn’t comfortable walking around this area with my phone out, and he came to get me and was very inappropriate and touching my arms and putting his arm around me. He then put me in another Uber again not telling me where we were going. Eventually it became clear that this company overbooked the tour (there were more than 20 people on the tour), so he threw me in Ubers to meet the group at each stop since there was no room in the van. At one point, he got in a fight with one of the Uber drivers who told him he couldn’t do that, and they were screaming at each other in Portuguese, then the Uber driver sped off with me in the back seat. The driver dropped me off in a random location and screamed at me to get out of the car. This was one of the most horrific and terrifying experience, and despite all this, viator has not returned my money. Absolutely DO NOT take this tour. Every single person on the tour wants their money back and is so upset to have wasted a day of their vacation on it. Everyone hated our guide and agreed he was horrendously inappropriate and unprofessional.
    Very Disappointing Tour
    James_E, Mar 2023
    Disorganized, tour guide’s English poor, tour started late - ended late; missed sites on the schedule; driver was always late to pick us up and did not know where he was going
    This is a scam. Don’t book with them.

    This is a scam. Don’t book with them. We payed for a whole tour around the city with lunch and we ended up only doing two places without lunch. It’s been more than a week after the tour and we haven’t had a proper response about the refund we’re supposed to get.
    Think twice about bookinb this tour

    The first tour bus that arrived to collect us was not for our tour. The next bus - which we joined - we were with 18 non English speakers and a guide we could barely understand so little/no opportunity to mingle with others. We had booked an English tour and asked to be moved to another tour but the guide refused. None of the sights we passed were explained to us and we had to repeatedly ask for what was being said in Spanish /Portuguese to be translated. Lunch was dreadful - a very over crowded place serving buffet of poor quality food that was not hot. Guide very off hand until the time he explained in detail, in English about tipping guides. Contacted the tour operator to express concerns during the tour and subsequently but no response then or since other than to say 'don't know 'what happened that day', so brought the issue to the attention of Viator as the tours we booked through Viator in several other countries have been fine.
    please don’t do this to yourself. you and your time in Rio are worth more than this.

    There’s something about adversity that brings people together. Our guide, Lidia, was said adversity. Tour started late, initially cancelled on some members, and missed multiple stops. Hey, things happen, but I wouldn’t have minded if we got a halfway decent guide. Pretty funny how openly hostile she was (think angsty stepmom who doesn’t want to associate with her new kids), nearly to the point she was trying to avoid being with us. Didn’t bother to tell us about the area and its history. Didn’t/couldn’t answer questions—ask about the Brazil-Uruguay war memorial if you want her to walk away after an uncomfortably long pause. Didn’t learn much from her, but sure did from overhearing/sharing our plight to other tour guides around us. She really had it out for us 😭😂 Two stars because the driver was great and I was with an awesome group. If I didn’t squander my only day in Rio de Janeiro on this trip, the humanness of the group making the best of our collective frustration and us breaking language barriers in doing so would’ve made this a really memorable day. BOTTOM LINE: I don’t doubt that the other guides are fantastic. But I still wouldn’t book this tour. You run the risk of landing Lidia.
    More than we expected!

    I was a bit apprehensive when we began the tour because we had specified an English speaking guide, but found that we had been put in a Portuguese and Spanish group instead. While my girlfriend and I are fluent in Spanish, we’re much more comfortable with English. That being said, we really enjoyed our tour with Marcio. He was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited, and engaging with all of tour group members. He also took several group and individual pictures which he shared at the end of the day. The lunch was a standard Brazilian buffet, you just have to pay for your drinks and dessert. The van we rode in was a new Mercedes’ Sprinter. The one complaint I have about it is that since we were one of the last groups to be picked up, we had to ride completely squished in the back. I was very uncomfortable, however, the other seats looked bigger and much more comfortable. In all, I would highly recommend this experience.
