    Pros Well the tour was well organised with attendance checks after every stop. 2 of the sites were really good. The guides spoke good English and explained everything quite clearly.

    The food was ok but already covered in the price so not a big fuss

    Cons: only one site is for snorkeling we were expecting more, considering it is a snorkeling trip.

    The sites 2, 3, 4 seemed pretty much the same, woth thd exception of lunch on the 3 rd site.

    Sandra was great!!! She knew many facts about the city and she gave us a great tour. I think she did a great job leading us especially considering she had to wrangle 45 adults which was very impressive. The pick up could have gone smoother as we spend 3 hours on the bus in the morning before finally picking up the last of the tour group but not the biggest issue in the world!

    We had an incredible experience. Flavio, our guide was friendly, helpful, funny and very knowledgeable about Rio and Brazil. He made us feel very welcome in the city he loves. We spent the day with him and felt it was well worth the money for a private tour. Our driver was great (I do not remember his name), he knew all the back streets to avoid traffic and always found us a parking place or drop off place nearby. Even though Christ the Redeemer ended up being closed that day, Flavio filled the day with other activities. He then helped us get tickets for the following day.
    Even after our tour ended, Flavio continued to communicate with us all week during our stay. He continued to provide helpful information and even made dinner reservations for us. He went above and beyond just being our guide for the day. He has become our friend and I look forward to sharing and communicating with him when we get back home. He taught us several Portuguese words which helped us during our entire stay. We highly recommend this tour and hopefully if you are fortunate, you will Flavio for your guide.
    Muito Obrigato Flavio!!

    The tour was amazing and worth not only the time but also the money. Our tour guide, Aline Gomes, and driver, Silvio, were wonderful, and Aline was great at explaining the history of Petrópolis and the places we visited. The tour is also very well organised with plenty of information available and the team is very responsive and helpful - they have the tour available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. I would definitely use the company again in the future for any tours in Rio de Janeiro. Thank you Aline!!

    We were the only couple on today's tour so it was very nice to have our own guide and driver. The botanic gardens are amazing and the knowledge of our guide was first class, the ticket office was painfully slow and when we eventually got to the desk we were delighted to get seniors discount. The amazing waterfall in the forest was unbelievable. We saw some wild life and then headed back to our hotel passing by some spectacular scenery. My only disappointment was the amount of time in the forest, I thought we would have more than the 20 minutes we were given.

    We had a great time! A couple days there would be nice, but our guide Juliana was amazing, and even took videos of us (free of charge). Its the most you can do in a day. Highly recommended!

    Theresa was a wonderful tour guide, how she can handle everything on her own is beyond me. We had a wonderful time on the tour.

    We booked this tour and the driver never turned up. We waited for over an hour. We tried contacting the company through the TripAdvisor platform and also called their business number several times with no answer. We are now struggling to process a refund through the TripAdvisor app. Horrible experience.

    It was exactly as advertised. We found the day very long due to the almost 6 hours of bus travel time. The guide was great, lots of energy.

    We had a fantastic experience and took plenty of great photos. Flávio, our tour leader, was amazing. I also forgot my phone in the van, but the team quickly recovered it and ensured I got it back. Truly excellent service!

    The tour was well organized and the view of the crystal waters of Angra dos reis e ilha grande was breathtaking. The tour operator was bilingual a d spoke in English too which was really appreciated. We were picked up from our doorstep and taken to Angra dos reis, the islands were amazing. Two things that could have been better are - the washroom in the boat was not cleaned, it would be really helpful especially for women if the washroom could have been cleaned and the buffet included in the trip was given very late and the vegetarian or vegan options were very limited. Other than that everything was amazing.

    Worth every cent, the boat ride views were incredible. The bus was super comfy and Thiago was an amazing tour guide. Not only knowledgeable, but put a smile on everyone's face for the whole trip! 12/10 highly recommend the tour!

    Hands down this was the best tour guide I’ve ever had! Camilla was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And the delicious food… I think I gained five pounds! Not only did we eat out way through Rio, but we saw so much along the way, too. We went to so many places. We took walks, taxis and a ride on the subway. A full day of food and fun. I highly recommend Camilla and this tour!
