Rio De Janeiro Super Saver: Corcovado And Sugar Loaf Mountain Plus Ginga Tropical Show

You will sit in the bus and stay at sugar loaf for half a day followed by 2 hour lunch which you do not need. It is better to cover on your own if you like to see the museums, botanical garden and other important things in Rio.

<p>It gets you to see the major attractions with one arrangement. For the convenience I think it's worth it especially if you have limited time. There was some confusion about transportation after the afternoon trip and evening show and dinner. It ends up that I had to be sent back to the hotel and then picked up again to go to the show without dinner. Not completely smooth. Guides are very responsible in terms of arranging logistics and helping me solve some problems with confusion. <br/> I found that Viator guides do not usually give enough narrations to give us more background knowledge. I had to read myself to know more.</p>

<p>Christ the Redeemer is an all time highlight of any trip. Sugar Loaf is also great fun and gives you good views over the city.</p>

<p>We were given great advice on arrival, to separate the Plataforma Show to the next day, and this was arranged accordingly by Grayline. The tour to Sugar Loaf and Corcovado were terrific. The show next day was also good.</p>

<p>Remarkable views of Rio. Great experience to be at the Cristo Redentor statue. Sugar Loaf was amazing. The lunch and dinner was at the same place. The Samba show was very good.</p>

<p>The day tour was as expected....the lunch was at a local buffet. </p> <p>The evening samba show and the restaurant were both exceptional! </p> <p>It was a long day, but more wonderful than I expected.</p>

<p>This tour consists of three parts with three different guides. It begins with a ride through the city and we will take us to the Sugar Loaf mountain. The cable cars up is exciting and thrilling. The view at the top is fantastic. Our guide pointed out various places in the city. After the tour we had lunch in a restaurant. we thought it was a tourist trap, but the food was very good and you could eat as much as anything. Then downloaded a new guide us and took us to Corovado. it was very busy and crowded when we would ride the train to the top. But it was worth it, the Christ statue and the view is magical. After we came down, we changed our guide and it was time for dinner before the samba show. unfortunately, it's dinner at the same place as the lunch. Samba show is good, but unfortunately, the room are very bad and the staff was quite unpleasant. staff wanted to photograph us all the time and then sell pretty bad photos. The dancers and musicians were very talented and there were many fabulous clothes.</p>

<p>Excellent and well worth the cost. The Samba show was terrific, way beyond my expectations. Our tour guides Fatima and Camille were great. The only setback was having lunch and dinner at the same Brazilian steakhouse...another place would be ideal. Other than that, enjoyed every minute of it.</p>

<p>Sugar Loaf mountain in the morning. Not so impressed with the guide JB - more full of himself than the sites of Rio. The content of the tour however was very good and we enjoyed the trip up Sugar Loaf and the sites along the way. <br/> The lunch between tours was excellent. <br/> The afternoon guide was great and the trip up Corcovado was well organised and efficent. Magnificent views. <br/> Plataforma Samba SHow was very good. An enjoyable evening. <br/> Our only concern was that the same restaurant although excellent was used for both lunch and dinner. An overload of meat!! A different venue for the meals would have been an improvement. <br/> Overall though a very enjoyable if long day.</p>

<p>Great all round. Possible evening dance hiccup, but sorted amicably. Thank you</p>

<p>We loved Rio!!. Definitely need to experience Rio on NYE! Amazing experience! Our next trip will be for Carnival.</p>

<p>Great trip with fantastic views, the Samba show was really entertaining and the food was great. Picking up all the people is the worst part of the trip as it takes so long. The guide forgot my hotel and drove past it at midnight so delayed in getting back to hotel.</p>

<p>It was well organized and everything that I expected and even more! I was very impressed with the guides, they were knowledgeable, courteous, and proficient in several languages. I will recommend this to anyone who is planning to visit Rio and wants to do everything in one-day.</p>

<p>This was an excellent tour and worth the price for the beautiful panoramic views as the vistas were simply amazing. However, the tour was poorly executed. There was confusion as to WHERE we were to be picked up even though we had confirmed both through Viator and through the local tour company TWICE! Therefore, we were picked up late almost 30 minutes. Secondly, each segment of the tour had different tour guides which was frustrating. Also, this was booked as a full day tour, but we got combined with others who were only on one or two sections of the tour and time was wasted picking up and dropping off tourists. To top it off, we had both LUNCH and DINNER at the SAME RESTAURANT. The guide for the restaurant made us wait over an hour after lunch was finished before the bus came to pick us back up. This should never have happened on a very expensive full day tour. A lot of time is wasted by having to travel around the city to pick up the tourists which took about an hour at pick up and an hour at drop off. It's a waste of time. The Plataforma Samba Show was interesting but it was a bit tatty. The costumes were pretty but needed mending, some of the show girls had tears in their stockings, and what was worse was that the showgirls came out into the audience trying to sell their barely covered bodies for pictures with the audience. Then when you didn't purchase a photo, they snarled at you. This was not appreciated by the women of the group.</p>

<p>I have made bookings for years with Viator, and this one was so disappointing I left half way through... I paid a lot of money for this tour. It started by the bus being 45 minutes late, the guide was very laid back and after doing a 11 day tour with gate1 travel I was expecting a little more, should I say I didn't learn anything about this city from him, he was to busy flirting with a young Brazilian woman which enjoyed lunch and the afternoon tour at his expense. The lunch was at a Brazilian restaurant which was nice, but out of all the places in Rio we were going back to the same place for Dinner.......so disappointing I didn't bother..... probably should let people know that you go to the same restaurant twice!!!!</p>

<p>We loved seeing Rio from both Sugar Loaf and Corcovdo and the fun ride on the cog railway. The rhythms of the samba show were really great, along with the costumes.</p>

<p>The tour was outstanding, Sugar Loaf Mountain had a view that was unbelievable, Corcovado was amazing, and the Samba Show was fantastic. Note the all you could eat lunch and dinner was excellent, I ate until I could not eat another thing. I am already making plans to return to Rio and I will use your agency to book my tours.</p>

<p>I was staying 3 hours away from rio so I would only have 1 actual day to do any tours besides another day that I came back to Rio to do some hang gliding but no tours. Being that I only had 1 day to check everything out I picked this tour option because I can see 3 things in 1 day. I was a lone traveler and there were a few parts of the tours where the tour guides told you you had X amount of time to take pictures and to meet back in a certain area which was scary for me because I was alone and a few times during the tour I couldnt find the tour guide so I grouped myself with other people that came from my same tour to not get left behind with the bus. This situation happen to me both at the christ statue and sugar loaf. Other than that sugar loaf had amazing views with sun and by the time we got to the christ statue we had a few moments before it started to pour. It was very crowded at the Jesus statue. It was insane trying to take any sort of pictures with people constantly passing by but if you aim the camera upward itll look as if there are no people at all in your photos. There are stairs in front of the statue so you go down if you wish for pics. At night my hotel was nowhere near so I had changed from shorts to a skirt for the samba show. I had 1 hour to kill before I got picked up by the bus. By the way for each tour you will have a different tour guide and bus. Atleast thats how it was for me. With the 3 tours in one day you will also eat at the same restaurant 2x which is included in the price but you have to pay for your own drinks even if you get water. You eat at the restaurant after sugar loaf and then again after christ, before the samba show but you will be hungry again because each tour it takes a while to pick up all the people from the hotels and the traffic in the city is bad and it takes a while to go up and down for each tour. The samba show was ok nothing special. Cool costumes a few nice dances dont expect to be blown away.</p>

<p>The Samba Show was pretty average, the venue was run down and the dinner was in the city, at the same place and with same menu as for the lunch... The Corcovado and Sugar Loaf tours were fine.</p>

<p>The trip to Redeemer was very good. The morning part was just fair. Since we took the whole day tour we ate in the same restaurant for lunch and dinner, that wasn't so great</p>

<p>An excellent tout but too much for one day. Be aware that Corcovado can be in clouds while the rest of the city has perfect weather. Being patient helped and the clouds came and went.We were fortunate that our excellent guide, Leo, was able to reschedule the Samba show to a second night. Otherwise we would have had only 15-20 minutes to change to go to dinner at the same restaurant as lunch, which was quite good both times, although with a similar menu. Spacing the dinner out along with the show made all the difference. The show was excellent, but there were rude audience members who filmed the show on their tablets, standing up in front of us and producing irritating light from their devices. This should not be allowed.</p>

<p>Everthing went like clockwork. Small delay in picking up other tourists from hotels but nothing to complain about. Views were amazing and we went straight to head of queues every time. guides spoke alllanguages and things were at an easy pace. Highly recommended.</p>

<p>I recommend it, as it takes in the best of Rio in a day. The only thing I suggust is that you check the weather before you do Christ the Redeemer, if it is cloudy, I suggust you postpone that part of the trip until you have clear Skye's.</p>

<p>This was the worst tour that I have ever been on and Viator should be ashamed of being linked with the company that had arranged this tour. The numbers of passengers exceeded the number of seats on the coach so one poor unfortunate male had to sit upfront with the driver anyway from his spouse. The coach arrived late to my hotel and thus when we arrived at Sugarloaf mountain the queues were horrendous. The tour manager was apparently surprised at the number of people in the queue but this as far as I am concerned should have been foreseen given the fact that we arrived late to the site and that the numbers of tourists in Brazil would be high a day after the New Year's celebrations. The tour manager failed to even try and get us to the front of the queue so I took the opportunity with a few others to use the queue for those with Internet tickets which was a lot shorter than the other queue. As a result of these actions we were able to see all that Sugarloaf mountain had to offer but for others on the coach they only saw a limited amount of what Sugarloaf mountain had to offer.</p> <p>The tour to Christ the Redeemer was slightly better organised and everyone was able to get to enjoy this most famous of sites in Rio. Be wary of the opportunists at the site, at least 3 members of the tour group had items stolen.</p> <p>After the first tour ended late, I was told that I had enough time to have a quick shower and change my clothes. Literally as soon as I got to my hotel room I received a phonecall from the front desk to inform me that my pick up for the evening tour was here, this I later found out was with another tour manager and different coach. When I got downstairs they had left. I complained and the situation was resolved.<br/> I would not recommend this tour to anyone as it was disorganised, shambolic, limited time between the tours, the lunch and dinner were in the same restaurant and the Platforma although good was not worth all the hassle of what occurred previously.</p>

<p>The combined trip was a good way to take in the sites and culture on a short trip, I do think it could have been a bit more efficient there was some waiting time and lunch was too long. If I had known lunch and dinner were at the same restaurant I would have give one a miss as there is so much to eat. The guides were good and their explanations and were fine. All in all a good experience.</p>

<p>A great day and night - probably a bit much to do in 1 day though. It was very hot and there were some problems with the train to Corcovado so there was quite a delay! Also lunch and dinner was at the same place. Great to see Cristo Redentor come out of the clouds while we were on Sugarloaf Mountain. Great your guide, bus driver and movie maker was great fun.</p>

<p>This full day is a great way to see the main highlights of Rio all together, particularly if you are short on time to spend in this wonderful city</p>

<p>Good one day tour of Rio highlights. Would recommend.</p>

<p>It was nice to have tickets already, but we bought the full day tour and they took us to the same restaurant for both lunch and dinner. Also, we tried confirming with the company 48 hrs ahead of time and could not get through. They almost didn't let us on the tour!</p>

<p>Tour was as expected. It's a great way to see part of the city and key attractions. Loved Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. The views were spectacular! I give the attractions 5 stars. </p> <p>The tour guides were extremely knowledgeable, helpful. and pleasant. Actually they were fireballs. Full of energy! I give the guides 5 stars. </p> <p>The lunch was so, so and would give it 3 stars. Dinner was excellent and would give it 5 stars! </p> <p>The Samba show wasn't bad. Parts of it went too long and you could tell it was filler as the dancers were preparing for the next set. You are getting a taste of what Samba is about and about 10% of what you would see at Carnival. So don't have the expectation of a five star show. I would give it 3 stars.</p> <p>Because you are seeing so much, plus lunch and dinner and a show, it makes for a very long day, so be prepared. Wear comfy shoes and clothes.</p>

<p>Although the site are very interesting and must visit, the waiting time was so long could have been better if the tour guide was more organized with the timing. <br/> The tour was of 2 parts, first part was visiting sugar loaf and Corcovado, second part is dinner and platforms show. After we did the first part of the tour they dropped us at the hotel and when I checked out about the samba show he said you will be picked up again from the hotel, unfortunately , we waited up to 9:15 pm and no one showed up and we missed the show although it was paid for and was included in the tour.</p>

<p>I enjoyed this tour even though its a bit too much activity for one day (3 tours crammed into one day), plus the 90+ degrees weather doesn't make it any easier. From Top of Sugarloaf Mountain you get a panoramic 360 degree view of the city below. The Christ the Redeemer Statue is a sight to behold, and as for the Samba show, the dancers (especially the girls) were gorgeous. The barbecue dinner before the show can easily take care of your hunger for the next 3 days!!!</p>

<p>This was a good trip. The dinner before the Samba show was very good. sights were great to see - only if the weather was better. Well worth the cost.</p>

<p>Good value for money - you saw all the main highlights of Rio all in the same day with rewards of some of the most fantastic views in the world. The samba show in the evening was excellent - good hearty meal before the show at a lovely restaurant with some fantastic dancing and costumes afterwards at the theatre. The male gymnasts were awesome.</p>

<p>This was an extremely poorly organised tour. It took over an hour to pick everyone up from each different hotel and half the day was transport. The guides did not tell us much as well. One of the guides hardly spoke any English and only seemed to get along with the Spanish and Portuguese speaking tourists. One of the cog trains up to Christ the Redeemer wasn't working which means we were waiting around for an hour which I understand is no fault of the tour company however we had a Samba show with the same company booked that night and they were not apologetic at all and said we could catch a taxi back to our hotel instead of the bus with them but they did not offer to pay for the taxi and never once apologised for any inconvenience.</p>

<p>Due to it being off-season, we actually were asked to divide the trips on two days: we did the Corcovado and Sugar Loaf on one day and the samba show and dinner on the next. That was actually better so.<br/> We had the best tour guide ever, Ms. Maria Fatima, on the Sugar Loaf Mountain part of the tour. She is very friendly and has a lot of tips and knowledge to share. If you can, try to get her as your tour guide.</p> <p>The lunch between wasn't that great - I'm sure the restaurant has better things to offer than what we received.</p> <p>I admire the tour guide for the Corcovado part: he was able to switch between three foreign languages without problems. But due to the three different languages, we did not receive as much info as I thought we would have. </p> <p>The Dinner before the Samba show was great. We were a small group of five and we got along well. The food was good.</p> <p>The samba show wasn't that great. Compared to seeing Acrobatics in China or folk dance shows in Chile, well, actually you can't compare them to those. Maybe it was because it was off-season and the theater was almost empty, that there wasn't the atmosphere needed.</p>

<p>Very well done, We really enjoyed the tour. Anna and Tanya our guides did a great job in making sure we were well cared for.</p>

<p>Incredible!!!! Our guide was very nice and our tour was very very exciting!!! Love it!!!</p>

Of course, it could not be otherwise!!!! It took me time to get to Rio de Janeiro and travel directly to Buzios via the Favelas!!! There was something else and thank God, there are still more things to come back!!!! Rio de Janeiro me E.N.C.A.N.T.O!!!! Being able to enjoy a sunset on the Sugar Loaf is an unforgettable experience!!!! the view they give you is amazing!!!! The city, obviously, surrendered at his feet!!!

<p>Det startade dåligt med att bussen kom 45 min efter utsatt tid<br/> Vi startade med sockertoppen där det var jättelånga köer för att komma upp men trots att vår kö fick gå före så tog det ca 1 timme. När vi kom till första stationen för att åka ända upp så var det kö där också så vi bestämde oss för att åka ner igen efter fotografering för annars skulle vi ha missat den bestämda träfftiden 11.30. Det kom ingen buss eller guide förrän 12.30. Sen blev det lunch som var bra. Efter det var det ingen tid för sightseeing som skulle ingå utan vi åkte till kristusstatyn där vi som samlad grupp åkte upp och skulle även åka ner samlade. Tyvärr lyckades inte guiden hålla ihop gruppen utan för oss åkte ner först så blev det 1/2 timmes väntan på resten av gruppen<br/> Det kändes som största delen av dagen gick åt att vänta så det blev lite misslyckat<br/> Jag skulle vilja ha ekonomisk kompensation med återbetalning av halva avgiften<br/> Jag förstår att dessa turist attraktioner drar mycket folk men kommer man med en grupp som bokat en dag för att se Rio så borde dessa gå före i kön eller så kan man inte ha så kort om tid på dessa ställen</p>
