Traveler reviews
Not Recommended
Some of the reasons I didn't like this tour: The vehicle was old and we sat sideways. There were no seatbelts nor was there a back to the vehicle. I frequently slid backwards toward the open rear of the car, so I had to hold on for three hours to keep from sliding out of the car. The car had no shock absorbers and my spine registered everyone of the zillions of potholes and bumps long the way. The 'rain forest' was not a 'TROPICAL' rain forest so we were told to be on the lookout for 4 types of birds and several types of trees. For comparision I'm from New England and any forest in my area has deer, turtles, hawks, eagles, bears, butterflies and many other forms of wildlife to enjoy. By the end of this tour we had seen 4 chickens (seriously) The trees were lush but, again, not uncommonly so. We saw hangliders taking off and stopped at several overlooks with nice views. But they were mostly the same as we saw in Sugarloaf and Corcorvado. Roberto our guide and driver, tried hard. He did give us raincoats which kept us warm and dry. He made many comments about the forest but we didn't hear them as were were riding in the open rear of the vehicle. The last segement of the tour was about 90 minutes of driving along twisty, rough roads while Roberto tried to entertain us. The forest was so boring that he resorted to stopping at peoples houses to comment on their driveways. Because it rained recently we did not do the usual walk up to one of the peaks. When I say 'up' I mean "UP!!!!!". Maybe a kilometer or two of steep incline whereas the advertisements for the tour mentions 'moderate' walks. I'm 84 and in good health but my mountain climbing days a far behind me.
Great time with Reborto
Roberto is a great guy and tour guide. He told us many interesting facts and never seemed rushed. The rainforest was a great experience.
Wonderful day in the rainforest
We were taken to so many incredible spots in the rainforest and got amazing views of the city!
A wonderful day in nature
The jeep tour was a great experience our guide Lauro was amazing, very knowledgeable about the history of Rio, nature and animals full of facts and stories, and a great sense of humour. He made the experience very enjoyable. The climb to discover the most amazing views of Rio was well worth it, seeing a sloth, monkeys and raccoons was amazing. This will truly be one of the highlights of our trip.
Wonderful experience!!!!!
The tour exceeded expectations. Our tour guide Lauro was attentive, knowledgeable, and patient with our group! We were able to take our time at each stop and really soak in all of the views.
