★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 469 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $90

A long, budget-friendly Rio day trip to Angra dos Reis islands with a schooner ride, calm swimming lagoons, and lunch included, plus extra fees.

“The trip was nothing short of a disaster I work in events for a living, owning a successful events management company and to say the day needed structure is an understatement. Firstly we were 40 mins late being picked up. Our names were not called yet the rep has been what's apping me all morning. I genuinely wish we had not got on the coach at this point. 4.5 hours later we arrived to stand in a queue for roughly 40 mins to eventually board. It's peak season and they hadn't allowed for traffic yet knew there would be traffic - this could have been avoided by an earlier set…”

“where should I start? All I can say is that I was completely thrilled by this tour and that my expectations were by far exceeded!! That started at the lecture with the appointment the day before. Even though I didn't live in the defined area, they offered to pick me up there anyway! I found that very friendly. The next morning the driver contacted me to confirm the pickup and pickup time, which meant I didn’t have to wait unnecessarily on the street. When we arrived at the port, we were able to check in quickly for the tour and we set off soon. The guide showed up and explained…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $126

Full-day Rio tour to Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf, plus Selaron, Cathedral and Sambodromo, with lunch buffet and guide.

“It is a shame that I have to give them one star at all. Be warned this is advertised as a city tour with several stops. Once in the bus you will notice 19 seats for customers. 7 of them you can’t see out the window. The last two rows are above the windows and the other seats. You have to try and bend over and really contort your body to see out of the bus. You have no control over what seats you pick because it is based on when they pick people up. If you are closer to the excursion, you will be picked up last and have…”

Thalyta shared the history behind every place we passed, was incredibly kind, and even helped me take amazing photos and videos at each stop. She was super professional and clearly knew exactly what she was doing. We saw Christ the Redeemer from the best spots, never waited in any lines, and I always had the best seat on the cable car to Pão de Açúcar, with breathtaking views. We explored the charming neighborhoods of Glória and Santa Teresa, enjoyed a delicious açaí with pão de queijo, and finally, they dropped me…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $186

An 8-hour Rio highlights tour with Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and Lapa and Selarón tile stops, plus lunch.

“Hello Ana! The City Tour in Rio de Janeiro was a captivating experience, largely thanks to our guide, "Mini Guia" Roberto. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the journey. Roberto's anecdotes and insights about the city's landmarks, such as Christ The Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the iconic Celaron Steps, truly enhanced the tour. However, a slight drawback was the timing. I felt that if we had started the tour a bit earlier, it would have allowed for a more leisurely exploration of the main attractions. Spending an additional 10 minutes at each landmark, especially the aforementioned iconic spots, would have been ideal. The…”
