Good Experience except for the Elevator to Christ The Redeemer
VijitaV
, Jul 2021
Our guide, Luis was a very nice person, spoke English very well. The pick-up was right on time. The lunch was an amazing one but for some reason, no drinks are included, not even water. The only downside was that the trip says its a train ride to the Christ The Redeemer but we were taken by an elevator probably because the queue for the train was a long one. But, I believe the Tour Organizers should anticipate this and promise only what they can deliver. Apart from this bummer, the tour went very well. They give you enough time to click pictures. :)

Dear VijitaV. good morning. thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, there is no way we can atecipate if the attractions will be crowed or not. We decided for the best so you and rest of the group wouldnt loose time in queque lines. Ths day, Corcovado was very crowed and passengers were taking more than 2 hours to go up. Luis is a very dear guide that tries his best to please our clients. I will send him your compliments. Please always count with us in your future travels. thank you

We had bad weather all day. Our tour guide for sugar loaf was nice and gave a lot of free time to enjoy the view. Our afternoon tour guide die the Chris redeemer was a little strange. He doesn’t interact with us. We can’t really understand him well.

Corcovado and Sugar loaf mountain

, Sep 2018
This was a great experience! Guides were on time and travelling was very comfortable. Able to see lots of beautiful sites in Rio. Also amazing views of the city of Rio from both Sugar loaf and Corcovado for comparison. One Tip: Bring appropriate warm clothes...its cold up at Corcovado!. Food was really good. Only draw back is the wireless headsets that we were given for the information about the sites which at times had static or just no sound at all.

It was ok only. It took hours to wait for the bus and we took round for 3 times i think. I was expecting that escardia selaron, santa teresa will be included. And the due to long hours in Ipanema after lunch, we had a few hours only in christ the redeemer which i expect that we will spend 45-1 hour there.
