Christ the Redeemer and Tijuca Forest tour - We took this tour with Raphael and it was absolutely perfect! The sights from the top of Corcovado and actually seeing what we’ve seen in pictures from the Christo statue is breathtaking! The drive through the forest, stopping at the waterfall, the visitor center and the Chinese lookout was beautiful! Then stopping by the platform and watching hang gliders and para gliders take off was exhilarating! We ended at the beach where they land, and got to enjoy a super awesome juice and snacks while watching them. Raphael is a great guide and makes the day really fun! He speaks very good English and knows his city well! His van is also very comfortable. We highly recommend this tour!

Sooo fun! - We took this tour with Rafael and he did a really great job! He was super knowledgeable about the places we visited and was able to answer all of our questions. He also took some great pics of me and my sisters. The obstacle course was my favorite part. Even though I haven't worked out in ages, it wasn't too difficult. I'd suggest wearing long sleeves during the obstacle course so you don't get snagged or cut on anything.

Forget the corcavado! Chinese view is the best! :-) - We have had a a great time with our guide Fernando who showed us all the nice spots in Tijuca forest. We were picked up by our hotel for a private tour, just Fernando, my wife Silvia and me. After a short drive trought the city we reached the entry and climbed by car to the Chinese Vista,. The view over the bay is the best! After that we enjoyed the forest, it's vegetation., We saw monkeys in the trees and fishes and turtles in the pond. Loved the peacefullness of the forest, Fernando was excellent, telling is all about the place. We drove back via the Leblon and Ipanema beach and got a bit of a view of the town as well. And excellent way to spent a Sunday morning !

Okay tour - Guide rushed us and we finished much earlier than we were supposed to. Did not see any of the caves and only stopped at one of the waterfalls.

That was the worst... - That was the worst experience. They never showed up to pick us up. I waited more than 40 minutes in the hotel's lobby and they never even sent me a text o called me to let me know what was going on. They ruined our day because that activity was part of our journey. And still I havent received my refund. I had to called the customer service twice. I need to get my refund. ASAP
