      Not worth it
      We signed up for the half day tour and had been told that it would run from 8:30 to 11:30. We were picked up at the hotel. Delays in picking people up (there are always some laggards that I wish the company would just leave behind) and then horrendous traffic and extremely long lines at the Christ the Redeemer place mean that we spent one and a half hour in the van and then 2 hours in line, mostly baking in the sun. We reached the monument at noon. So, 4 hours to get there! We and what felt like 10,000 more people squeezed in on the platform. Yes, the view from there is gorgeous but hard to enjoy it. The next stop on this tour was the stairs (Selarón). Got there around 1:30. Again very very crowded. Not worth it. The guide, a young woman, was very good and handled the difficult situation very well. She made some good executive decisions that saved us some time. But the tour company should have done a much better job in altering us about the big crowds and long lines.

      Corcovado and Sugarloaf day trip
      It was a great tour with also a great tour guide. The only issue was, that, due to the vacation time in Brazil there have been crowds both at the Corcovado and at Sugarloaf. This resulted in extremely long waiting times. Other than that all was perfect.

      Saw everything we were supposed to😊
      Pick up was more or less on time. Transport in very uncomfortable minibus was sitting at the back over the wheel and absolutely impossible to hear any commentary: a mixture of the Guide not knowing how to use the microphone and/or it not working properly. Best part by far was not having to queue as we were whisked through as a group. Saw everything that we were scheduled to do on this tour long day over eight hours. very little English. Guide spoke little English I think he was a Brazilian scout leader.

      Connection with nature
      The botanical garden has amazing fauna and flora. We really enjoyed visiting this beautiful place. It has no cafe or restaurant so be prepared for that. Tijuca forest was also very beautiful with waterfalls and a trek through the forest so make sure you wear proper shoes.

      Knowledgeable and helpful
      Alexia gave us a tremendously valuable perspective in many aspects of the history and life of Rio: the complexity of the culture, political changes, and natural beauty. She was also extremely generous in helping me recover my wallet, which I left in the restroom of the Redeemer earlier in the day, by personally contacting staff at the site and giving them the information needed to find it (and giving me the information I needed to connect with them at that busy site). She was knowledgeable, warm and gracious.

      Do this tour!!
      Wow, what a winderful day! This tour is a perfect way to get in the must-see sights in Rio if you’re on a bit of a time crunch. Peter our guide was such an amazing host, visibly proud of his city of origin, he took the time to really give us empassioned insight in the history and culture, pointing out so many fascinating points of interst along the way, with many an intersting back stories. Very highly recommended!

      Great time.
      Tour guide very knowledgeable. He kept calling me Alex Supertrump even though that’s not even close to my name but it was great, it added a very humourous one to the trip. Thanks again P.

      Lovelly tour over this colourfull neighbourghood
      Had a lovelly tour with our guide Emmanuelle. She was very friendly and had a passion for Santa Teresa. Took the Santa Teresa train and walked down the colourfull neighbourghood of Santa Teresa. Great views over Rio and some very nice house, pity that some of them would have needed a fresh paint. Nice graffiti on the way! We walked down the Seleron stairs, way too many tourists to get a nice picture, but that was expected.

      Very basic tour of Rio
      My tour company booked this tour for me, and I have to say I was rather disappointed with. The guide, while nice enough, gave very little information. It was more like 2 sentences on each spot, then drop us off and give us a pick up time. I would have been better off with a Rick Steves guide and the Hop On Hop Off bus. Bbq lunch was ok, but nothing special and in a weird location inside of what looked to be a gymnasium or something. They were rushing us so much I never even got offered dessert ( probably because we were late since the bus broke down in the morning and we had to sit around waiting for another). Overall an underwhelming experience.

    Disembarking from a four week cruise to Rio, we booked this cruise as a way of using the afternoon - but also of celebrating our wedding anniversary. My wife is wheelchair bound so this was one of the sightseeing options that was accessible. The staff were extremely helpful, giving us priority embarkation and assisting us with ramps. Rio bay is amazing and a one hour cruise gave us a different perspective on the city. And it was really good value too!

    Great value for the price ! Friendly staff except for the " Trip Advisor Rep". She was bossy and not very nice. ( maybe having a bad day?)
    I would recommend this trip but it's definitely not a Sunset cruise as you go at 4pm n return at 6pm.

    Very cool tour. For those who already know Rio and have visited Christ, Sugarloaf Mountain, Museum of Tomorrow, downtown, etc., it is very interesting to see them from another perspective. I recommend!!
    The guide Claíssa was very attentive and guided us through everything.
    Ps.: The only thing we weren't lucky about was going alongside noisy and rude tourists who weren't at all interested in explanations about the attractions. Unfortunately, they hindered understanding. Other than that, everything was very good. Safe, comfortable catamaran, drinks sold on board.

    I recently went on the Sightseeing Sunset Cruise, and I was extremely disappointed. We couldn't see anything because of the BAD WEATHER ,even when we asked to cancel and reschedule due to the fog ,rain and cold wind and overall darkness , but the tour agency insist that we can sail in this bad weather , therefore it was terrible experience , felt so unsafe.. To make matters worse, the crew was rude and unhelpful, which really ruined the trip. The boat itself was dirty, and the ride made several people, including myself, feel nauseous and sick. I wouldn't recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a pleasant experience.

    Terrible service!! I bought a tour through Despegar. I contacted them before to credit the tickets, with date and time. They sent me the boucher. 2 days before I wrote again to consult a possible modification and they responded that it was immovable. So I go to the Marina Da Glória, where the boat would leave and when I arrive, they tell me that the boat was under repair and that it would not leave until the next week. So I lost the possibility of another ride and spent a lot of money on transportation since my hotel was 30 minutes away by car. Without giving any type of explanation and ignoring the problem.
    They gave me an email box to complain where I send screenshots and chat and they blocked me. Taking off will only refund the ride, but not the transfers because at that time they did not give me tickets, the photos and chats were not enough. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, SUPER IRRESPONSIBLE!!!!

    This was a beautiful experience. The weather was perfect, not too hot, and not too cloudy (although very windy). The tour was a perfect length, but I wish we had started a little later, so that we could have experienced more of the sunset, but it was still a great time. I went on my birthday with a friend and it was wonderful. I would highly recommend the sunset cruise for IG worthy views!

    The divine place. The only thing was the organization of the excursion, a lot of delay and very little time at each beach. Lunch included another mistake because they are places that are too cheap and have little service, if they had given us the time we would use it differently

    A sufficiently modern boat that can traverse the bay quite rapidly. Great views and a few stops for photo opportunities. We felt safe and secure all of the trip. It was also nice to get under the long bridge. Running tourist commentary was sufficient without being too much. Just don’t order any Doritos/ crisps from the onboard snack bar—- they’re stale as £&€$!

    It was a short fun boat trip to get to know a little bit history of Rio and Brazil. Our guide Claissa is very attentive, friendly, and kind. There's an audio guide in 3 languages (Portuguese, English, and Spanish), which was really helpful. It's quite windy, so bring a jacket/scarf for your comfort. Boat was clean, crews were really professional. I was hoping to see the sunset, but the tour went from 4-5.30 so the sun was not set yet. But otherwise, it was a great trip!

    It is a beautiful tour of about two hours in Guanabara Bay. The landscapes and places you see are amazing. It's worth it. The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sugar Loaf and Museum of Tomorrow stop. You can take pictures of those places there. They won't regret it.
