Leo is one of the best tour guides I've had this far. Very attentive, informative and helpful every step of this tour. Would recommend him to anyone visiting Rio De Janeiro.

Great Experience

Tierra_W, Jul 2023

We got to see a lot of Rio and learn a little of the history. The tour guide was wonderful and took great photos of us. I would highly recommend for anyone that likes history.

Great English speaking...

Hetal_P, Jun 2023

Great English speaking guide, took time with each place we visited and kept it fun and entertaining.

Great tour

Ivy_S, Mar 2023

My husband and I loved this tour. We stayed on Copacabana beach and were picked up at our hotel. We went to Christ the Redeemer first. It was crowded. Next we saw a chapel and the Selaron steps. Again, the steps were crowded. Last we went to Sugar Loaf. It was great having transportation and ticketing coordinated. In several hours we saw some amazing attractions. We skipped the lunch because we are vegetarians. Our tour guide spoke English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I definitely recommend this tour.

Nice and effective tour

Curt_F, Mar 2022

Very nice trip and really friendly and vice tour guide. As we started 13 and return 18:15 we would recommend for a pitstop on the way for street food? Too long until sugerloaf at 17 to eat and spent all time eating instead of enjoying the view

Amazing tour for Rio’s main attractions

Erica_P, Sep 2021

Great first day in Rio! We saw all the major spots in Rio in just half a day! This helped us get acquainted with the city when we first arrived. Our tour guide was so great and very informative. He spoke serval languages to accommodate the group. You can see these sites on your own but the information our guide provided us made it worth it! We were treated like first class ! Highly reccomend this tour especially if you want a nice relaxing experience have someone show you around their city!

Better late than never

Alice_L, Nov 2020

Was late for tour start and organizer was very accommodating. They do not pickup in Central hotels so compromises there also. I was able to see all the attractions as advised and guides were great

Bucket List

ssf79, Feb 2020

Beautiful tour with a little bit of everything. Was very nice, Melanie and Marco were great! Would not recommend for anyone that cannot walk much. My mother is 73 and she had a hard time. We thought we wouldn’t get to see the Christ the Redeemer because of the fog but we were able to get a few great pictures! Would definitely recommend this tour!

Redeemer, Seleron, Sugarloaf Tour

victor1tom, Oct 2019

Extremely thorough & friendly booking process. All aspects of Tour were well executed and perfectly according to plan. Driver & Guide were very professional and accommodating. Time at the 3 Sites was just right- did not feel rushed and the overlook made us feel very safe & comfortable.

It was fairly good. Friendly people...

Jami L, Feb 2018

It was fairly good. Friendly people. However because of Carnaval, no one told me until half way through the tour that the selaron steps were not going to happen. I got kind of upset because I paid for something that didnt not happen. So, I never got to the steps during my trip. The tour guide was fairly nice, however he smoked around the group, and the most of us did not appreciate that. Otherwise I had a good time at Christ the redeemer and sugarloaf mountain.

Guia Ana Claudia excepcional
