Solo Tour is fine to do alone. I didn't learn much from the tour guide.

A bit expensive for the experience. I could have easily done the tour on my own. You have to get to the Hilton from your hotel. Wear walking shoes and be prepared for large crowds.

Okay, but incorrect information

The guide, Luciania, was great, but the information flow could have been a lot better. It was stated that the tour start was at 8 am. However, the night before I received the pick up time, which was at 6.20. Apparently, the 8 am was the time for when we actually were up at the statue. Did not expect that at all. Also, the tour did not last 3 hours. There were some waiting and another stop we didn’t plan for, and we ended up leaving the tour early to finish in the time we had scheduled for. The guide said it could take 4-6 hours to finish the half day tour.

Highly recommend

Tour was awesome and planned very well. We had Vivianne as our tour guide and she had a great attitude and communicated the plan very well, I would recommend not planning something directly after the tour as we experienced delays, howeve, these were due to people not showing up on time to the meeting points, which is no fault to the actual tour. Overall highly recommended, bus was nice, and pickup was seamless.

Worth Every Penny!

Excellent choice! Daniel was a kind and knowledgeable tour guide who took great care of the group. Christ the Redeemer and the Selarón steps are magnificent. Most of us are in Rio for the Cowboys and Ravens game so it was sweet treat to stop by the stadium!
