A Flawless, Easy Day in Rio

Our tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Leticia, was wonderful with incredibly multi-linguistic skills. Our drive, Paolo, artfully wove his way through the city and windy narrow roads. The tour was as advertised, and I felt I got a good value for the cost. The stops were organized and well scheduled. I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. There is a fair bit of walking at some stops, and the built environment may be challenging for those with mobility concerns. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour, particularly to solo travelers and women.

Book it!!!

We toured with Luciana and she was absolutely amazing! She spoke 5 different languages (we were with a group that had several different languages involved and she translated very efficiently throughout the whole day)! She was also very personable, we shared a few laughs and personal stories with her etc. She made the excursions an even better experience for sure! The tour bus was a large, spacious 15 passenger van. The driver was great, we had a very great trip throughout the city of rio
