Arraial Do Cabo Tour From Rio De Janeiro

Livia was a fantastic tour guide, her English was great. The tour was really good! The bluest water we've ever seen!

It was amazing our tour lady was very informative and as sweet as can be. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Disappointing Tour Experience – Don’t book I booked this tour based on confirmation from the tour operator that it would be conducted in English. However, to our surprise, the tour guide did not speak any English. He attempted to use Google Translate, but the information provided was minimal and unreliable. Thankfully, some fellow travelers stepped in to help translate key details. The tour was supposed to be a three-hour excursion, yet it turned out to be a disorganized affair. Instead of a coherent itinerary, we experienced three stops of around 40 minutes each, one on an island that didn’t match the advertised island and two swimming stops with no fish! Due to delays with boarding and disembarking a mini boat to get to the island, we only managed about 15 minutes on an overcrowded island that offered no shade and a very limited area for swimming—making it nearly impossible to enjoy the water. Lunch was another major letdown. At around 6 pm, we were taken to a venue labeled as a “restaurant,” but it was far from acceptable. The place was extremely dirty, with insects crawling over the tables, and the staff’s clothes were beyond dirty. The hygiene was appalling—dishes were washed in a makeshift area right next to the toilets. We couldn’t eat anything there and had to rely on a small snack until we returned to our hotel at 10 pm. Overall, this tour was a waste of a full day and the worst tour experience I have ever had. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

I enjoyed this tour. It was a shame that the English speaking guide advertised was not provided. I was told this was due to the scheduled guide having a health issue. I can see from previous reviews that other travelers have also not had an English speaking guide. The guide on the day did her best to communicate some key information via google translate and the beach itself was beautiful.

Overall good. Too many locations doesn’t allow you to relax much but hot to see some beautiful beaches.

Well organized and dense one-day program - the only weakness was the lunch, which was not so good, and that the number of tour boats was too much, but that is not the fault of the organizers.

Tour itself was very nice like in other reviews, but there were few issues not mentioned in the description. We selected English tour, but guide spoke just Portuguese and Spanish. Luckily we know some Spanish so we managed. There's additional cost not mentioned in the description. We had to pay taxi from bus parking to the harbor. It was 15 reals one direction for two people. It's not much but still hidden cost.

The tour was wonderful, the bus picked up at the hotel door and left too, very good driver and the guide of the tour Livia was very attentive. Super indicate this walk!

The guide Lívia very attentive and careful, provided us with a peaceful and safe trip. Cabo Arraial too beautiful, with crystal clear waters. It is very worth the tour, especially for those who travel without children, with a child becomes more tired, which is normal. But in addition, perfect.

Amazing experience, guide Lívia very friendly and attentive.

Great tour and excellent guide Gizele, great professional.

I liked it. From me and my husband, we had an excellent experience with guide Michele, very friendly. The driver, and others involved, always friendly and punctual. The tour went out excellently

Wonderful experience, excellent guide Bruno

I had a wonderful experience in Arraial do Cabo! The guide named Juliana Schramm was extremely attentive, friendly and passionate about what she does. He explained everything with great affection, told stories and curiosities that made the tour even more special. Gave to feel the care with the group and the love for the region. I highly recommend to those who want to meet Arraial in a light, safe and full of good energies! The experience was incredible, congratulations to the entire team including the driver and the interns who was with Juliana.

For the second time I chose City Rio Turismo to take a tour in Rio de Janeiro, and once again the experience was fantastic. This time the destination was Arraial do Cabo, and what a sensational walk! The place is a real eye eye, what a beautiful thing. The color of the water, the relief of the region, especially the famous crack... all this combined forms a simply wonderful landscape. Bathing in those crystal clear waters is creating unique memories. Arraial do Cabo is really paradisiac. The City Rio was excellent throughout the tour: from the punctual search in the hotel, the round trip in super-comfortable tour bus with bathroom, to the impeccable service throughout the journey. And I should highlight our guide Lorraine — excellent professional, polyglot, attentive, polite and very quiet. She knows how to handle tourists with courtesy and affection. Congratulations to City Rio! Next year I'll be there again.

Excellent tour I advise everyone to make a sensational experience. Congratulations, ❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

It's a 12 hour walk but it's actually 50 minutes of restricted beach. It's something travelers who go to and from the same day aren't warned about.

No words for our first experience. It was very satisfying every moment, every detail, from beginning to end. We appreciate the excellent care, care, and affection. It all went perfectly well. It was the best tour we have ever made, and without a doubt, we will do many others with the Enterprise!❤️

A highly recommended tour, a paradise place, excellent guides, very good food, the best caipirinhas we tried, and good boat agency. We recommend it 100% to go alone, as a couple or as a family. We'd do it again.

Beautiful place. Wonderful beach. Boat tour with music and bar with that top caipirinha. The guide Marcelo (pretty Marcelo) very friendly. Explains everything about tour and about the top places of Arraial. Landscape top. Foot on fine and white sand. Lunch with homemade food. Uma delícia . Transportation with air conditioning and bathroom. The best of Rio de Janeiro with City Rio.

All very top! Thank you for the wonderful memories. The tourist Guide with a lot of clarity, transparency. We were very happy!!!

The tour I made to Arraial do Cabo with City Rio had some positive points and others that could be improved. The prior notice about the winds, with the possibility of refund, was a nice care on the part of the company. However, there were some details that compromised the experience: 1. The tour was not conducted by the City Rio team, but by Pepe Rio Tours. At no time was this communicated, which generated some surprise. It's not a big problem, but an interesting explanation would have been, since many choose the company for the reputation and the exchange got a little confused. 2. There was a slight delay in the arrival of the group, which is understandable, but we ended up waiting more than half an hour in Copacabana for people coming from Barra da Tijuca. This ended up delaying our departure by about an hour. The distance between the points does not really favor joining these groups. 3. With this delay, we ended up arriving in Arraial around 12h40, which reduced the time available to take advantage of the place, and meant we had lunch almost 15h. 4. The transportation in Arraial was also not the most organized. The logistics with the taxis was done on time, without prior planning, which left us waiting in some moments for 5, 10 or even 20 minutes to get transport, which could be better coordinated. 5. The bus between Rio and Arraial was not very comfortable. I am a person of 1,70m and still, I had difficulty with leg space. I had to change places to be a little more comfortable on the ride. The space on many of the seats was similar to that of the last row of a seven-seater car, like the Chevrolet Spin. 6. Besides, the tour was quite full. In Arraial, we struggled to get enough taxis for everyone. On the return, the bus was completely crowded, which made me travel in the last row, tight among other people (there were 5 people side by side), in a bench that was only 100% reclined, which was not very comfortable. In the middle of the turn, I switched seats with one of the people next to me who could no longer have the knee pressed in the front seat. After all, although these points individually are understandable, together they ended up damaging the experience a bit. Arraial do Cabo, on the other hand, is a beautiful place, really worth a visit. My suggestion is to go with more time to enjoy the region calmly. If the idea is a day trip, it might be more interesting to enjoy the beaches of Rio.

C'était super,j'avais hésité avant d'y aller mais finalement suis parti C'était vraiment chouette, en plus Viviane une excellente guide qui s'est occupée de moi vu que j'étais la seule personne qui ne parle pas le portugais. Je recommande ce circuit.

Very nice family excursion. Leaving Rio by bus, it takes 3 hours drive but worth it. 6h cruise with swimming in blue waters full of fish, 3 stops + the last for the meal. Very nice. What to do if you stay at least 1 week in the Rio area.

It was amazing!!! Everyone on the tour is great. I felt super comfortable and welcomed. I loved our Guide, Ju. Super friendly, requested and available. And I still got engaged there. I mean, all wonderful ❤️

Comfortable translation, super attentive Guide, were punctual with scheduled toop tour I highly recommend, out the view that is a spectacle

The tour is incredible, the support and guides are wonderful! The boat we used had the ideal amount of people, unlike the other boats that were full.

It was incredible, unforgettable, nothing says anything about the tour, friendliness and service from the tour company I chose and the experience was incredible

The tour was wonderful!! We loved the experience! I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to RJ… I was surprised by the tours offered by City Rio Tur!

Sensational place, it's worth the trip from the city of RJ to get there... incredible landscapes, crystal clear water, a trip that I recommend without any hesitation. City Rio Turismo is also to be congratulated for the service, Rafael, a very dedicated and attentive guide.

Great experience with City Rio on the tour in Arraial do Cabo. The guide Juliana was very helpful and attentive the entire time. There was no boat trip that day due to the strong winds, but we still enjoyed a lot at Praia Grande and Pontal do Atalaia.

My wife and I enjoyed it a lot. Very good! Very lively and helpful staff. We visited the main beaches.

The tour was very good, a very good company, the only thing I found bad was that we were told that we were going to have lunch, but it wasn't like that, we went on a boat and went to the beach around 6pm and we actually went to eat, so prepare your stomach, but other than that the rest was very good, I recommend the tour.

The landscapes are beautiful and the assistance is very good! We took lots of photos and had a lot of fun! Very fun boat trip

It was amazing. The guides were polite and kind, we made the most of the tour and the lunch was great. They delivered a wonderful tour.

Tour with beautiful landscapes, incredible beaches and super attentive guides. I would definitely come back next time

Very professional staff. Extremely beautiful place. Anyone who has the opportunity should go! You will not regret.

Everything was wonderful, from the beginning of the trip to the end, the team is to be congratulated and Arraial do Cabo is beautiful, my family and I fell in love with the place.

The place is paradisiacal and the City Rio company is serious and delivers on everything promised, it's really worth visiting this charming place in the City Rio company 😉

Perfect tour. Beautiful place, polite and attentive guides. Wonderful landscape, we took lots of photos

Everything was perfect, the agency took care of everything and helped us with everything we needed, including the van, lunch and guide.

It was perfect!! We loved each other so much 😍 the trip to Arraial do Cabo was very well organized and the boat was super clean and organized too!! The guide is always very organized and friendly!

Muito obrigado a guia Viviani. Sempre atento e mui amavel. Foi maravilhoso. Praias bonitas. Aguas claras e boa comida.

The landscapes are incredible, the agency is super punctual and the guides are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the beaches a lot.

I arrived at City Rio through the many positive comments on the internet and I was able to attest to the veracity of all of them. The company offers security and convenience. Top quality structure from reception to final arrival. The employees care about everyone's well-being and are very friendly. A special thank you to guide Bianca, Franco and everyone involved in the tour we took. I recommend it and I will return to visit other destinations.

Great tour. The Company picked up at the scheduled time. He provided all the assistance provided and the lunch was delicious. Not to mention that the guide was super friendly and attentive.

It is with great pleasure that I share my extremely positive experience with City Rio Turismo. The exceptional quality of the professionals who accompany you during the tour is, without a doubt, one of the most notable points. Each item (organization, commitment to service) reflects an unwavering commitment to excellence, evidenced by attention to detail and the quality standards of the service offered. The tour booked was wonderful.

The tour was wonderful, I went with my mother and my 5-year-old brother, they loved it, especially the stop to take a swim in the middle of the sea.

The landscapes are incredible. Very good boat trip. Very attentive guide. Good food and affordable price.
