We had unlimited drinks, snacks and music and we had the time out of life while also swimming in the sea which was an experience in itself. Was the highlight of our trip so far and would recommend to everyone.”

“I was expected to be late. According to the schedule, a tour group moves to the second location after one hour at the first location. So I needed personal communication via WhatsApp in case I miss the guide. But no one contacted me after I booked. I only have experience with tours that contacted me with WhatsApp. I never knew that this kind of tour operators exist. I feel that many of these tour businesses are so spoiled. Maybe there is a sufficient number of tourist that they earn money easily from. Someday they will miss today’s business.”

“If you’re looking for a truly magical experience in Rio de Janeiro, a sunset sailing trip is an absolute must! From start to finish, this tour exceeded all expectations and provided one of the most breathtaking moments of our entire trip. As we set sail from Marina da Glória, the views of Rio’s iconic skyline were already stunning. But as the sun began to dip towards the horizon, the scenery transformed into something straight out of a dream. Watching the golden light reflect off Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, and the beautiful coastline was simply unforgettable. The crew was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and landmarks.…”
Review of a full-day Petrópolis tour from Rio with imperial sights, lunch buffet, Bohemia Brewery, beer tasting, and return transport.
“When we made the reservation, there were at least two pick-up options right next to our hotel in Leblon (a very popular location). But after the purchase, we were told the nearest pick-up point was actually 2.2 km away, and at a very early hour in the morning. This wouldn’t have been a problem if we had been picked up where we originally booked, but the company made no effort to respect that or to ask the driver to meet us there. The worst part is that, on our way to the only pick-up point they left us with, we were robbed. It turned what was supposed to be a…”
Rio’s shared speedboat tour reaches the Cagarras Islands, with swimming stops, cold beer, floats, and open-water views for $60.
“All the comments about the views etc are true - Rio is beautiful and it was wonderful to see familiar sites from a new angle and to visit the islands we've gazed at from the beach at Ipanema. However, at nearly 50 euros I expected something slicker. The company changed the day and then they changed the time and we were out for quite a bit less than the expected 3 hours. We also had to specifically request to go to the islands we'd booked to go to, as our guide had a different itinerary in mind. On arrival I assumed that the diving we were there to do meant…”

“We were a party of 8 and it ended up to be a private tour since it was just our family. Our guide Rafael was the best ever, super friendly, knowledgeable about the history and geography, and made the tour the highlight of our entire trip. He was funny, happy and made the vibe so positive. The boat was clean and stocked with ice cold refreshing beverages. We made a stop by Adam and Eve beaches and he patiently waited for us to have a leisurely swim to the beach. The sunset and scenery of the Guanabara Bay were spectacular and we could not ask for a better guide and…”
