Real experiences from real travelers
This was the highlight of our Brazil trip! Booking through the platform was seamless. Our guide, Leo, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the Christ statue. The skip-the-line access saved us at least two hours in the sun. Highly recommend the full-day option with lunch!
I was worried about navigating Rio on my own, but this tour took all the stress away. The pickup was right on time at our Copacabana hotel. The views from Sugarloaf at sunset are something I will never forget. The barbecue lunch was also top-tier with so many options.
The tour was excellent and the guide was fantastic. Be prepared for crowds at the statue, but that's expected for a world wonder. The cable car ride to Sugarloaf was smooth and the views of the bay are stunning. Great value for the price.
If you only have one day in Rio, do this tour. Seeing both the Christ and Sugarloaf in one go is efficient. Our guide helped us take the best photos and knew all the secret spots to avoid the biggest groups. Booking was easy and the confirmation was instant.
Very well-organized tour. The private option was worth every penny for our family. Our driver was safe and the guide's English was perfect. We learned so much about the architecture of the statue and the geology of the mountains.
Mesmo sendo brasileira, adorei o tour. The organization was impressive. It's the best way for even locals to show the city to visiting friends without the hassle of driving and parking.
The weather was a bit cloudy at first but our guide timed our visit to Christ the Redeemer perfectly so the clouds cleared just as we arrived. Sugarloaf was amazing. The buffet lunch was a bit crowded but the food was delicious.
Everything was perfect. The van was comfortable and cool, which is important in the Rio heat. The view from the top of the mountain is the most beautiful thing I have seen. Thank you for the easy booking process!
