Private Tour: Rio Experience (Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf and more !)

Renata, our tour guide was engaging and knowledgeable! We saw everything we possibly could - the weather was wet and rainy - and despite limited visibility we were able to make our points of interest flexible so that we could get all the best experiences at the Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer Statues. We also saw many other points of interest including the Seleron Steps, Villa Santa Theresa, Copacabana Beach, Ipanema and so much more!! I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks to all!

We have been travelling the world for over 40 years. In that time we have used all sorts of methods to explore. The is our first time with Viator. The Viator process was very good and helped us to arrange for our tour and to communicate with the operator regarding detail. Even before we travelled the operator was very helpful. Our driver was Marcelo with whom we had been exchanging communications. His English was excellent. His driving was excellent. He was courteous, friendly and helpful. He turned up promptly and was very flexible as to the itinerary but gave excellent guidance on what to do and when. The car was in excellent condition, clean and roomy. Rio as with most cities is of concern to visitors in terms of safety and finding ones way around. We felt very safe with Marcelo and got a very good feel for the city. Rio is the most amazing city and with Marcelo as our driver and guide we had the best day imaginable. It just exceeded our expectations and these were quite high. He dealt with the locals and gave lots of information about Brazil, Rio and the places that we visited which were both the famous ones but also some local colour. I cannot recommend Marcelo or Rio enough. Plus, the day before our tour it had rained for a lot of the day, but for our trip we had perfect weather. We are quite hard to please travel-wise, quite honestly there was nothing to complain about either with Viator or Marcelo. We will use them both again, and Marcelo and Rio have us wishing to return there.

The tour was really good and exactly the kind of tour that I was looking for. The tour guide Marcelo was on time, was very well prepared to answer to all my questions and really really helpful.

Marcelo, a Rio native, is knowlegeable and entertaining and provides a thorough custom tour. Wish we'd had another day to tour with him and his skilled driver/assistant.

had an amazing time. our guide was extremely knowledgeable and, above all, very flexible. made sure we saw everything we wanted and made sure we got back to the hotel safely. highly recommended.

Marcelo was an excellent guide. Unfortunately it rained all day so we on,y caught the train to Christ redeemer which was fun, we couldn't see anything once up there because of the thick cloud and rain. He showed us other places to make up for not seeing the Sugar Loaf and said he would take us to it the following day but we told him not to worry. He took us to a great Brazillian restaurant buffet style very nice. His English was very good I would recommend him again. Kay and Mike from New Zealand. Review rating 5 star.
