“Amazing day taking us to all the major sites in Rio, would totally recommend the trip.

Small group size an advantage”

“It was a great experience to go see the Redeemer with our tour guide. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to get the full Rio experience in a day.

Review of Rio’s guided churrascaria dinner with picanha, Brazilian wines, caipirinha, local stories, and practical value advice.
“This was a great example of a meal at a Churrascaria complete with informative background from Roberto - our host. He walked us through the extensive salad bar and then explained the multitude of grilled meats coming from the kitchen. The 3 wines (a bubbly, a white, and a red) were nice but there wasn’t much discussion of pairings. All in all, it was a great experience and no one left hungry.”

“Had a great tour with Roma around 2 different swimming spots around the Rio Bay Area. Also got to see the beautiful sights of Rio from the water. The staff were very kind and accommodating, always asking if we wanted more food and drinks. Special thanks to Rico who went above and beyond to make great caipirinhas and BBQ through the whole trip! I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!”

“Guía y chófer, Mar y Edivan, muy eficientes, amables y con mucho humor. El día ayudó mucho para ver la 7ª maravilla del mundo en todo su esplendor, muy soleado y calor aceptable. Todas las indicaciones de la guía fueron muy interesantes porque, como ella, amo la historia y los museos. Lindo ver el Maracaná, porque los uruguayos siempre hablamos del Maracanazo. La subida al Pan de Azúcar, una experiencia inolvidable. Amo Río más que nunca.”
