Sugar Loaf Mountain Half-Day Tour

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
This tour was so breath taking! We saw other sites along the way too. We visited the Cathedral and the Sambodrome. This is a long tour but totally worth it. We separated the tours and I think that was better than committing to a 14-hour day. On an individual basis, each tour was long enough. I wouldn't recommend doing all three together.

Corcovado Mountain and Christ Redeemer Statue Half-Day Tour

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

My Rating
5 star rating: Highly Recommended

My Review
The Christ was amazing, very spiritual and uplifting! The guide on the other hand wasn't very pleasant. He almost seemed bothered by the whole trip, maybe personal issues. I don't recommend doing this trip without a tour group. People who went up the mountain on their own ended up waiting in long lines, while we swept through them like VIP members.

Great trip! I recommend that you bring your own snacks and drinks because the trip is long. If you attract mosquitos, bring bug spray too. Our tour guide was awesome, he was very informative and energetic!
