Lynne_H, October 2026
If you want to get a quick overview of Rio, this is the tour! Even though we had a cloudy day and wasn't able to see Christ the Redeemer in the clouds very well, we still had a fabulous time. Our guide was very helpful. We really enjoyed the tour.

Rio is a rich city with a great deal of history, culture, and political diversity. The tour speaks to all of it in a day. You will see and hear about all of this in the day you're with the guide. Gustavo was excellent, well versed, and his passion about the city showed. It is an excellent way to get to know Rio just a bit better.
