Excellent transfer from airport to our hotel in the center of Rio do Janeiro. They waited for us with a name card as if it was a limo transfer. I have mobility issue and they had a stool to load into the bus- van. Comfortable and prompt ride that left us at the door of our hotel.

Somewhat worrisome, but a good outcome on our Transfer from GIG airport to hotel.
Maurice_D, Apr 2024
We arrived in RIO after an overnight flight from Houston, Texas, USA. Initially, we could not find our bus/driver. Eventually, he showed up in the Arrivals area with a sign with our Surname on it. It is perhaps understable that he was not visible on our arrival, as our flight was over 1.5 hours late. Bus was comfortable and journey good, letting us off with our luggage at the front door of the Windsor Leme hotel.
Bad event

Response from Host, Mar 2024
Dear John, We are sincerely sorry to hear about your experience with the transfer from the airport to your hotel in Rio de Janeiro. We completely understand your frustration and regret any inconvenience you experienced. After reviewing the details of your reservation, we have confirmed that our driver was looking for you throughout the airport and trying to contact you via the phone number provided in your reservation but had no response. Unfortunately, after waiting for a considerable amount of time and due to the estimated waiting time for passengers, the driver had to return to continue with another reservation. We understand that this situation was very disappointing for you and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. Best regards, Tangol Tours
Get an Uber instead
Onnaedo_N, Sep 2023
The transfer was not clear on where to meet them and none was waiting for me at the door like I was informed. Instead, I was harassed by multiple men at the gate asking if I needed a ride and one man even got really close to me and was yelling while following me throughout the airport. Furthermore, when I found the kiosk, the organizer had a bad attitude and looked annoyed. He took me to a car outside with another individual that did not look like he worked for this company. Nor did he help with my bags. During the drive, the driver did not speak English (even though it was advertised as English speaking) and was using his phone while driving to translate the conversation. This I believe distracted him and made it unsafe while driving in traffic. The driver tried to sell me on additional tours and was very aggressive. I would have been better off getting an Uber myself and avoiding all the hassle.
Well looked after at the airport and good transport to my hotel.
Linda_R, Jul 2023
Prompt service and polite staff. Booking transport in advance takes the stress out of finding something at the airport.
Not a good experience.
Laura_C, Jun 2023
The ride did not show up. They said they were there but I looked around for an hour. I had the gentleman from the tourist office walk around and he did not see them either.
Shared ride from airport to hotel in Rio de Janeiro.
Linda_D, May 2023
Yes, there was a person with a sign with our name on it. However, we had to wait for other people on the shared ride and we waited nearly an hour before we left the airport. After a long flight you don’t want to wait so long for your ride. The price was fair. But the wait was just too long.
Very nice and...
Brandon_N, May 2023
Very nice and professional. They were on time and prepared for our arrival. They got us to our hotel safely.
Airport transfer to hotel experience
Ondria_M, Apr 2023
The company had a sign with my name in it to easily identify themselves. The operator and driver were prompt. It was a car that picked us up and we were the only two.
Shared ride service from airport
Alison_S, Apr 2023
They met me at the airport with a sign with my name on it. They put me in a private car with two women. Even better then a bus. The one woman spoke English quite well and pointed out all the highlights on the way to my hotel.

Great company
Jennifer_V, Jan 2023
Our driver was amazing! He tried to speak Spanish and teach us Portuguese and was very polite. This company was great giving us a car after our flight was delayed and we missed our initial time.

pesima, no la recomiendo
jorgenicolas_f, Feb 2023
la experiencia fue pesima, cuando desembarque: 1. no habia nadie esperando 2. cuando averiguo era de la empresa in buzios, busco a un tal Joel. NO tenia cartel con mi nombre 3. Me dijo que espere que ya estaba, espera 1 hora y decidí tomarme un taxi. Adjunto comprobante de pago y sugiero que me abonen esos 120 reales.
Communication
Yves_S, Jan 2023
Notre premier vol était en retard et j’ai avisé ViTOR via le site Web. Je n’ai jamais eu de réponse. Arrivé, vers 17:30 au lieu de 13:30, le responsable du transfert qui était à l’aéroport nous a dit que malheureusement nous avons perdu notre transfert. Nous avons dû prendre un taxi. Toute la semaine nous avons d’autres activités avec VIATOR, en espérant qu vous soyez plus professionnels.
