Perfect mix of the scenery of Sugar Loaf with a tour of the city. Really enjoyed it, and the guide - Aeta - was excellent!

The tour was perfect. Saw Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer with two wonderful guides. Lunch was excellent, too. This tour definitely was perferable to finding our own transportation and tickets.

Despite the weather (low clouds spoiling view) it was good day and well organised. Guide was very informative.

Was great to see the usual Church and we really liked the Monkeys at sugar loaf. Lunch was very good, I especially liked the chance to visit the Sunday 'Hippy' Market. Christ was very impressive, although didn't like waiting around for venicular railway. All in all an excellent day :-)

The entire tour operation was very professional. The guide and the driver were very professional. The tour began and ended as advertised. The transportation was comfortable and dependable. I would have like to known a more about the history of how the attraction came into being and why, how many people are employed as a result of the attraction, and are there any plans for further extension of the cable car.

The multiple Hotel collection points took quite some time on the outwards and inwards journeys. Lunch was basic. Other than that the actual sightseeing was great.

beautiful scenery when the sky opens. The guides were not very knowledgeable.

The tour could have been very good were it not for the guide. She was poor to the extreme - she spoke too softly and her English was very difficult to follow. Furthermore her instructions were very vague, but if you asked a question for clarity, she got extremely angry, told you that you did not listen and/or pay attention, and then became downright rude!!! I have never in many years of travelling experienced anything like this. She was a disgrace. We spoke to others on the afternoon tour who had the exact same experience. The person who was our guide over the lunch period was excellent. I thought the lunch could have been shorter in order to get us to the statue earlier - as it happened the fog came in just as we reached the top and we had got very little from this part of the tour. Bad luck I suppose but if you get up there earlier your chances will be better.

The bus picked us up at our hotel right on time. The guides spoke excellent English and were very nice. The lunch was good. If you go to Rio you must do the full day tour- you shouldn't miss any of these and apparently the lines are much longer if you don't do a tour. The only criticism is that they had 1/2 day tourists on our bus so we had to bring them back to their hotels midday which took time. But overall, I would highly recommend this tour for Rio. Viator has always been reliable in my experience with great customer service.

Excellent guide, this trip was perfect as we only had a short time in Rio and this way we saw all the important sights. The venue for lunch was very good too.
