We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the warm and clear explanations provided by our guide, Luciana, who was attentive to everyone at all times. Our driver, Xandao, was very considerate, helpful, and patient throughout the various journeys, allowing us to see many of the city's tourist attractions with excellent time management, clarity, and a deep knowledge of the history and modernity of each place. In addition, Luciana is multilingual and speaks fluently.

It was a beautiful day, very well organized, where the guides assisted us from the pick up to the return to the hotel. Very kind and helpful
Host was ok. But at each stop I didn’t feel we were properly gathered to join the bus and the way time was given at each stop was confusing at least for Spanish speakers. Host called us after leaving us behind and told us to go to the next step on Uber to try to re join the Trip but it wasn’t possible. Considering that and the cost of the trip (I spent about $500 in total) it was def not worth and I felt I lost my money.
Alessandro our guide was great! Very kind and superfunny!He respects the program and timetable and he explains everything very well.
The tour was perfect, Geisy was our tour guide and did an amazing job, very knowledgeable about the city and we got to see much more than we thought. Perfect day to see the best in Rio!
Many thanks to Newton, our guide, and Sara Rodrigues, our booking agent. We added a side trip to Niterói and the architectural works of Oscar Niemeyer, which we really enjoyed as we got to see a different side of Rio.
We had a fabulous day with Allen Dennis as our private tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and great company. He dropped us to the entrance of the venues, parked the car and came back to us. Tickets were organised by us beforehand. Everything went very well. I’d highly recommend a private guide for the day. We went exactly where we wanted to go and at our own speed. Enjoyed a lovely lunch on Sugar Loaf Mountain. It was great being in an air conditioned car and being shown around the beautiful city.
I could say so many amazing things about the private tour of Rio we had today. JALBIER was AMAZING . He was kind, informative , efficient and safe as he brought us all around the city . JALBIER went above and beyond to squeeze all the things we wanted to do into our day! He was energetic and tailored our tour to us ! Don’t book a group tour, you will learn and enjoy a private day trip with JALBIER so much more!! We had the most memorable time today in RIo all thanks to Hilton hooking us up with the best guide !!
A wonderful day in Rio with a fantastic guide (Vincent Thomas) and the most beautiful destinations Rio has to offer. Vincente adopted the sequence of the route so we avoided long queues. He also explained us a lot about the history of Brasil and Rio. This day just couldn’t be any better.
My friend Jalbeir G was an incredible guide. I really enjoyed my day trip of Rio with him and saw numerous locations I would have never seen before! The amount of knowledge and history that Jalbeir knows about Brazil is incredible! I highly recommend engaging with Jalbeir for your day trips around Rio de Janeiro! Ryan Millay Miramar, Florida
They did not fulfill what was agreed; we paid for a full service that was not provided and, worse yet, they left us alone to fend for ourselves after paying an exorbitant price for round-trip transportation. We only had the trip there, and for the trip back we had to pay another company. A terrible experience. They charge much more than normal. I do not recommend them.
It was a beautiful day , the tour was amazing and very special . Galera of the C2Rio , very polite and helpful. We will return to São Paulo , with lots of pictures and beautiful memories .
Despite the stormy rain that prevented us from reaching Christ the Redeemer, it was great. Thanks to the guide Priscylla, thank you very much for the experience
Very dear guides, enthusiastic and with good information and curiosities of the sights. I indicate a lot to everyone!
We had a great day of tour, with plenty of historical explanations of the city and the sights. I would like to emphasize the attention and care with us tourists, the guide Emma and the driver Martins, from the reception to the arrival at the hotel. Thanks for the experience!
The trip in general was a genius, the teammates were also influence of having had such a good time due to their punctuality in the meeting points, but apart from that, I want to highlight the guide. My guide was Alberto, and I really can’t be more satisfied with who played me as a guide. A gentleman attentive, polite, friendly, funny... I am not really a fan of tours or being called a tourist, I like to go on my own adventure; but if Alberto were my guide on all excursions, I would put that thought aside and love to tour. When he dropped us off at the Royalty Hotel, he gave me a hug and a shake of hands that was beyond warm. I leave this trip, not only with the experience of a wonderful day with a spectacular lunch, but also with the memory of having met a guide as suitable and wonderful as Alberto, and of having met such friendly companions as those who touched me. I am more than happy and grateful for this experience that the C2Rio Tours provided me, and with great affection I will remember the laughter that brought me this visit. Greetings from Argentina, Patagonia to whoever will read this.
excellent tour with amazing people .. thank C2Rio for the experience in Rio de Janeiro 👍🏻👍🏻👍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍👍🏻👍🏻
Good tour to know in one day the top 3. We did the tour with my children, ages 8, 3 and 1, and Karla Belem was always watching to help and get priority access.
Excellent tour! We were fascinated by the views. Guide Karla who spoke very very good Spanish as did Victor the driver.
A great experience with my family and Guia Priscila and Christian very friendly and very Concerned about our comfort with our little son
Excellent guide and driver. The Prycilla guide is rating that what she does is not her job, but that she loves doing it because of how she does it. Super recommended. The Christian chauffeur leaves you alone when it comes to climbing and touring all of Rio. A unique experience. It's worth doing with them.
We loved it, it was an amazing experience, sorry it was cold today. We will go from the next one for sure. I recommend. And the agent ..son was super good people
The tour was fine, expectations were met, both sugar bread and Christ, spectacular. I suggest to be more careful with the times, since being a tourist usually plans very detailed the agenda. We hired at 9:30 am the tour, they wrote a day before it would start at 8:54, which makes us adjust plans; and they ended up arriving 9:35, I understand that unforeseen events arise but it is important to take care of these small great details.
Loved it! Super complete the tour, I highly recommend it! We had a good time with the guide Publio 😍 .. we made a nice group
I recommend it 100%, Leandro the very friendly guide, attentive to everything spoke to us in Spanish, an excellent guide who took us to enjoy every moment, we traveled everything in one day, the times in each place perfect to meet and take photos. We were a family of 5 members, I was very helpful to take this excursion we entered quickly Christ the Redeemer and sugar bread.
It is a perfect guide: full of culture, helpful, nice and smart. She managed the tour according to our personalities and needs, attentive to our fun and serenity. He speaks Italian, English and Portuguese very well. It made our day memorable!
It was a wonderful experience. The guide Patrícia and the driver Paulo were the difference throughout the tour. People with a surreal vibe, helpful at all times, and even made me laugh with several cool reviews.
Great day with our guide Renato who spoke very good French and gave us interesting information about Rio. They guided us to each site and allowed us to reduce the wait. The Corcovado and Sugarloaf offer spectacular and unforgettable views of Rio and Guanabara Bay. I recommend this tour and Renato.
Showed security, punctuality, charisma, feeling like family. Knowing the places was very impressive, the places were beautiful as well as their history.
Very good guide, explains the whole story, the view from the Christ is phenomenal, unmissable, even more so with the guide Monica very fun and makes the trip an unforgettable experience.
