Forgot to confirm with agency about the timing of pick up. Tried calling on the day itself in the morning (7am onwards) but always get an engaged tone. Went Internet to check for other phone numbers (including USA) to call but couldn't reach anyone. Somewhat worried until the coach came at 8.45am to pick me up... Went to Corcovado in the late afternoon (3-4pm) and the sun was behind Christ the Redeemer statue. Not sure if it would be better if go in the morning or otherwise. Lunch provided was good and was careful not to order any drinks without checking the price. One can of coke ordered by fellow group member cost $8 reals! Otherwise, a good trip to Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains.
Gret tour. We saw everything that distinguishes Rio in a very efficient and enjoyable manner
Pick up was prompt. The tour is defeinitely worth doing because these are world class sites. Corcovado is a "wow" moment for sure. The Restaurant was not "to die for" but adequate. Be careful of the drink prices.
A very pleasing half day tour. Very satisfactory hotel pick up. Visit up Corcovado Mountain via cog rail and elevators was excellent. The day was pleasing with bluey skies and sun allowing superb views over Rio de Janeiro. The visit to this attraction is a MUST for anyone. Only fault is that time at the top is limited, not sure if this is by way of the location operatives or the tour organisers, The more time available at the top with it's super views the better. John
this trip was a very long day with a 2.5 hour lunch stop in the middle and lots of time wasted after lunch picking up the half day tour people. This should have been done while we were eating and would have allowed us more time up the mountain. The lunch was not worth it i would recomend that you only did the 2 half day tours. the afternoon guide was a fun fellow but didnt wait when some people of the group didnt make it on the 1st train back down the mountain because of the crowd that he knew about and left them behind. Lucky it wasnt us or we would have lost.
Rained the entire day. They should have offered a raincheck!
It was great!! i trullly recommend it!!!
Very good.
excellent
The tour was well-planned and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately we had a cloudy/rainy day so the views were not so spectacular, but still enjoyable. My one concern is the process of dropping people off on the street "in the area" of their hotels after dark instead of returning them to the hotels. I could tell some guests were uncomfortable with this.
Mission acomplished -- we saw these famous landmarks -- but there was a LOT of time spent on the bus. We don't regret the excursion, but be prepared for a "touristy" experience.
The tour was excellent just long enough with the lunch break at the appropriate time. Our tour guide was fantastic. I recommend it.
I would recommend this tour for anyone who has limited time in Rio. The pick up and drop off at hotel was very timely. Both tour guides were very informative. The lunch was at a very nice restaurant and not at a buffet. The meal was delicious. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and we lucked out and had great weather!
Worth doing for the experiece of the sights but suppliers could have been better.Lunch was a total waste of time and money,with extremely high prices for drinks and service terrible. We think you should rethink your venue for lunch.You should also get your supplier to make it clearer as to where pickup points were as most of the party were very confused.
Does what it says on the tin and definitely worthwhile visiting both sights. The main drawback was the hotel pickup rounds which meant we were sitting in the bus for 2 hours before we had picked up all passengers and the tour actually started! The same happened again with drop offs and pick ups at the middle of the tour as it was combined with people doing only the half-day tours. So in short: good tour but probably wasted about 3 hours picking people up and dropping them off at hotels, which could've been done a lot more efficiently.
