Fabulous - Throughly enjoyed “Rio in a Day” tour. Got to check off my bucket list items all at once. I had a fabulous guide, who was very knowledgeable and fun. I’m glad I was in her hands all day. Take this tour, it’s fabulous.

Please do not book this!!! - Yes, I gave five stars but can not recommend it at all. The service was excellent, the guide good and the driver very safe but... I recommend you do Christ the Redeemer one morning, sugarloaf mountain another morning, and please, just do the other sites on your own. The full day tour leaves you trampled with masses at one of the two main sites and the other venues is just fodder to fill the day. Lunch? No, just no. It is a disastrous affair of glutinous tourists in a loud restaurant. We ended up rather paying for our own lunch but eating at a local restaurant. The train is not a pleasant experience either. I truly recommend a morning tour by van. The train too, is an affair of rushing to wait in line, being shoved by staff and guests alike and feeling like cattle to the slaughtered. No, just no!!

Outstanding one day private tour in Rio de Janeiro - Our private guide, Dario, was absolutely fabulous. His knowledge of Rio de Janeiro history, architecture, natural beauty and culture are exceptional. He quickly understood our interests (3 women from Australia) and showed us those places including what was already scheduled. Nothing was rushed. Dario was extremely helpful and a pleasure to be with. Highly recommend.

Perfectly organized day in Rio! - We were extremely punctual and our guide Luis was able to set off with us 10 minutes earlier, which turned out to be very advantageous, as we arrived everywhere just before the big tour buses. We got a comprehensive overview of Rio de Janeiro that day. Luis knew a lot about the history without just listing dates, but he also talked a lot about the interpersonal relationships between Brazilians in the north and south. The friendly driver with a clean car was always there on time to pick us up again. Luís spoke very good German (he lived in Germany for several years) and was very flexible, so we spent our lunch break not in a normal buffet restaurant but in a small, typical beach restaurant on the Copacabana. Conclusion: Great day, highly recommended!

Lovely experience - My husband, I and my son were very happy to have taken this tour with the guide Mônica, who is very cultured, friendly and welcoming. We felt very safe in the places we visited with her, apart from the knowledge she gave us.
