Real experiences from real travelers
The train ride through the forest was just as good as the statue itself. Booking the skip-the-line option was a lifesaver as the standby line was over 2 hours long. Highly recommend the morning tour!
We did the full-day tour with the barbecue lunch. Everything was seamless, from the hotel pickup to the train tickets. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Rio's history.
The view from the top is the best in the world. The train is charming. It was quite crowded at the summit, so listen to the guide when they tell you where the best photo spots are.
You can't come to Rio and not do this. The train is the only way to go—much better than the vans. Seeing the monkeys in the trees during the climb was a highlight!
Even as a local, I use this platform to book for visiting relatives. The VIP train tours are excellent value and save so much stress.
The skip-the-line access worked perfectly. The view of Sugarloaf from the Christ statue is breathtaking. Be sure to bring sunscreen even if it looks cloudy!
The combination of the train, the cathedral, and the Selaron steps made for a perfect day. Our guide spoke perfect Italian and English. Truly a 5-star service.
Booking online was very easy. The voucher was accepted immediately. The train is very clean and the staff are helpful. The best way to see the Wonder of the World.
