Complete waste of time and money. The guide spent the whole time on his phone and chatting with other people and looking for new customers. I don’t recommend it at all.
I booked the 4 hour private tour. Riccardo was a great guide! He communicated the day before and I informed him of the places I wanted to visit which included Centro and Maracana. He picked me up from my hotel right on time. Due to rainy Rio, I didn’t have an umbrella or raincoat but Riccardo offered me his umbrella to use throughout the tour. We were able to check off just about everything I wanted to see throughout the city. Some places were closed due to being the weekend. He also took great pictures of me at all the sites! I highly recommend Riccardo as a guide and this tour!
This is absolutely the worst tour that we have ever been on - firstly the tour guide was over half an hour late to meet us at the appointed location, then he started to look for the no show driver , that took another 45 minutes ( despite repeated calls to the tour office). We were finally on our way, to do a walking tour of part of the city where the Royal bbc Palace is located . After that we went to visit ( by car) a famous coffeehouse to have a snack . 30 minutes late we came out to find the driver has disappeared . Calls to the office ( and more waiting by the curb )and after 45 minutes the driver showed up again and took us to the Selaron Steps for a five minute photo opportunity , after which the guide declared that the tour was up and took us back to our cruiseship pier . We never saw the sights that we wanted to ( no Copacabana beach, no Ipanema beach ). Even the guide said he has never encountered such ridiculous service from the tour company - never again ( it wasted the entire day that we planned for Rio 😭🤢).
Marcos was a wonderful tour guide. Our private tour was tailored to our interests with a couple of other things added in. Luckily for us, his English was very good. We had a great day and are very grateful to Marcos for showing us this beautiful city of Rio de Janeiro!
Dario was fantastic! He guided us through the city and made sure to take us to all the places we wanted to see. He even took us to to some restaurants that we were not planning to go before he recommended them. Incredible way to experience Rio!
We had absolutely unforgettable experience. Excellent vehicle, perfect driver and exceptional tour guide - all we could wish for! We only had two days in Rio and were looking for the best way to get to know more about history, culture and life in this big city. Helber showed us everything he loves about Rio and we had amazing time. Highly recommend.
The guide was fantastic! I had a few things I wanted to see, he added a few more things that I really enjoyed, and he was very helpful with tips about Rio and even helped me run an errand. I booked this for my first afternoon in Rio and it was an excellent introduction to the city!
Very helpful friendly guide. Air conditioned car. He took us where we asked to go. .Thank-you very much
Well it was a site seeing tour so I saw everything I wanted to see but when I told Any that my most cherish wish was to take beautiful pictures. So she took me to places I am sure nobody will se in Rio and I have some great pictures. Then I ask to have a typical Brazilian meal for lunch with wine. She took me to a very nice restaurant and I invited Thales and Any to have lunch with me (MY TREAT) We had so much fun and I learned a lot about Brazilian culture. Thales did not drink wine because he is not aloud to but still was very entertaining. Afterwards, he took me to the airport on time. It was a lovely, lovely day. Thank you so much.
Deep Knowledge of the Guide - flexible to what the Customer wanted to See. Dropped us off half an Hour too early.
This tour is tailored-made. I had some ideas of what I wanted to do in 4 hours; I discussed them with Dario, the guide and he helped me organized the journey. I had a fantastic time. Dario is simply excellent. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He knows places, history, geography, etc. What I visited? Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer, Santa Teresa (a hipster neighborhood); the Metropolitan Cathedral and Selaron steps.
Was a great tour. I learned a lot about the history of both Rio and Brazil. And got to see both the well known sites and also some very interesting lesser known stories and places. My guide, Monica, was quite amazing with her knowledge and the way she mixed history and facts with good stories and tips! Recomended!
Monica our tour guide was very knowledgeable giving us a history of the places we visit. Very recommended
We had a great tour with Meilin in Feb 2023. She gave us lots of interesting information about Rio history, culture, architecture, etc. We were able to tailor the tour to our interests and Meilin was happy to accommodate. We saw lots of things that we would not be able to do so on our own. Meilin has a wealth of experience and knowledge about all aspects of Rio life and culture. For what we received the price was more than reasonable. With Meilin's guidance we felt very safe wandering around the historical centre of Rio. Highly recommended.
We had a few hours in Rio and wanted a tour that suited our interests. Alex worked with us to customize and maximize our experience. We had a wonderful time seeing and understanding historical sites, colonial era buildings along with the beaches that make Rio famous. He is full of energy and information, and his English is impeccable. You will be driven in a modern, clean and spacious SUV by an experienced guide who is there for you. We could not have had a better experience. Do not hesitate to work with him for your tour.
Rio Carioca Tours made my trip to Brazil unforgettable! Great tour options, knowledgeable guides, and top-notch service. Highly recommend this agency
Super fun and informational. The tour guide made sure we were always accounted for and gave us a lot of info and great sights.
Monica was our guide, and she was awesome!! We had such a great experience! Definitely worth it to do the tour with a guide!
Monica was an excellent guide, very kind, friendly, and she helped us. She helped us not only on the tour but also with other issues that came up for us; without a doubt, the best guide of the trip.
Angelika war super ! Sie weiß viel ! Sehr zu empfehlen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Regular. Se dice que es un tour privado, el guía muy amable y cordial. Pero no tenia idea a donde llevarme, se supone que no conocía, no tenia un plan, lo único que hice fue andar y andar en un carro con aire acondicionado. No me recogieron en el Hotel. Pero el guía si fue muy amable al dejarme allá. creo que el problema es la agencia y no el guía.
A private tour with Guide Monica that went very well and with whom I highly recommend... Looking forward to meeting again.
Gostámos muito desta tour, conseguimos fazer o que queríamos e a guia Jaqueline foi muito prestável e atenciosa.
The guide Dario showed an excellent knowledge, was very friendly and made everyone feel safe and enchanted by knowing the city, which is also very beautiful.
It was a wonderful experience to be on this tour. The guide Monica very attentive, experienced, competent and punctual. Explain every detail during the trip. No problems. I highly recommend.
It was very good! Well explained, well guided. We had a great guide. The lunch was also great. We will definitely indicate to friends and we will return!
Visit the Christ & Sugar Bread, listening to the historical contextualization and presentation of the old photos by the sympathetic and wonderful guide Mônica.
Very professional and competent explanations about Rio. Monica, our dear guide, made it especially pleasant!
Interesting tour! Our guide, Monica is a super expert in the history of Rio de Janeiro, architecture, various epochs, etc. I learned a lot of facts that I did not know, even having already lived in Rio for 5 years in the past. It was a super pleasant afternoon and full of new experiences. Value!
Perfect service. They are punctual, comfortable van and the guide Manuela highly professional and polite. Note 10 for Enterprise.
Super top tour, value on account, super trained guide informed, punctual on schedule, lunch inclusive excellent, super recommend.
