Best tour guide and driver ever - Our ship was delayed in docking, but our guide and driver were still waiting 3 hours after we were able to dock. Guide Antonio (call me Tony) was one of the best we have experienced using Viator. Even though we had missed our scheduled time at Sugarloaf Mountain, his familiarity with the Mountain lines and Mountain staff allowed us to take advantage of the skip the line (best choice we made prior to arriving in Rio…recommend you do skip the line for the Mountain and Christ The Redeemer—and do it well before you arrive in Rio as times for skip the line sell out). Tony went everywhere with us and explained what we were seeing as well as where to stand to take the best pictures. We did not have tickets for Christ The Redeemer as skip the line was sold out, but Tony’s contacts at the site arranged for us to skip the line and a good thing as lines were long and visitors plentiful. Again Tony went with us and we have some excellent photos of the site. Then we experienced the Lapa Steps. Carnaval was in full swing and we were treated to the parades and mingling with locals enjoying the party. Tony also even made sure that we had pictures of ourselves at the sights and at the Lapa Steps. We also have to give excellent marks to our driver, Marcello. Don’t drive in Rio during Carnaval yourself. This was one of the best tours we have had with Viator and Tony and Marcello are the reasons.

Outstanding Tour with Romayne/Romo! - We had a great tour with Romo and this company. Ahead of time they advised us to get the skip the line tickets for Christ the Redeemer statue and then the regular ticket starting 2 to 3 hours after the planned time for the Redeemer tour and that was excellent advice. Romo was able to help us snaking through the many lines, skip the usual, longest lines with his many years of experience. This was even true on Sugarloaf Mountain where we did not have an express pass but having a guide who knew many people there made it just as seamless and quick. Even with the the tour guide and these tickets bought in advance you should plan that it will take 4 to 5 hours to see both Christ the Redeemer statue and Sugarloaf Mountain. However some of that's because the distances between the base where you get on and how far it is to get up to the top of the two places. He enabled us to get great views overlooking many beaches including boca cabana, the city , today and the ocean. At our request we also saw several large and his historic churches including the Benedictine Monastery with the gold leaf over all the walls and ceiling, the Metropolitan cathedral which is shaped like a pyramid and seats 20,000 people. And while our driver was driving all around the city and did a great job of pointing out various points of interest, slowing down to talk about them, stopping to let us take pictures, etc. Could not imagine a better tour guide for this 7 hour tour. The only negative had to do with our transportation. We the four of us rode in a Ford Explorer equivalent so we had plenty of room. And although it looked nice from the outside it was very well worn on the inside. Also, the air conditioning quit working during the course of the tour , although with the windows down and the car moving we were still comfortable even with temperatures in the '80s and humidity in the 90s. Strongly recommend the company refurbished the interior and obviously fix the air conditioning. And the suspension also seems to need an upgrade as I suspect the shocks etc I have not been changed in many miles.

10 out of 10, highly recommend! - This was a fantastic finish to our short trip to Rio! We booked the 7 hour private tour on our last day with pick up at our Lemme hotel and drop off at GIG airport. Gregtur Tourism Rio did an excellent job of generating a personalized tour that captured all the key sites including Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Escadaria Selarón along with a few other key highlights. Our tour guide Camila brought a tremendous amount of energy and knowledge about the different places and made some great recommendations on local eateries. I've traveled all over the world and felt truly secured with Gabriel our driver navigating the routes and watching our belongings as we toured the different areas. I highly recommend Gregtur Tourism Rio specifically Camila and Gabriel for any future tours!

A Great Private Tour - This was an amazing private tour in Rio de Janiero. Our guide, Carlos, met us as soon as we were off of the ship and took us to our van. The van was roomy, comfortable and well air conditioned. They provided bottled water for the duration of the tour. We visited places not normally frequented by tourists and ended our day seeing the Christ the Redeemer statue. They dropped us off at the airport in time for our flights home. Overall, this was an amazing tour and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.

Christ is beautiful - We know a lot more than we could imagine. It was all at the right time and we took great advantage of the whole city from places like the Christ to a monastery. It was all wonderful!
