What people love about Brazil Tours from Rio de Janeiro
- Best of Brazil
Well planned and overall very smooth. Enjoyed company of the other tour members and tour guide. One recommendation would be for tour guides to do a little more introduction (~30 min) of each city when we first reach one.
- Brazil Carnival Full Experience 6D/5N (Rio de Janeiro)
Overall, it was great - lovely people of all ages on the tour. We all got on well and it was really fun. Most of the local team, in particular the team leader Jorge, were very attentive, supportive and protective. A couple of the younger members of the team were a little more carefree and kept walking ahead without really looking out to see if everyone was following and/or all right. But on the whole great experience. I thought the day with Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Santa Teresa, Cathedral, Selaron Steps and Sambadrome was a little too rushed, but good fun. The tour to the favela was great and the guide was excellent. Very interesting if a little scary. We bombarded him with questions, and he answered every single one. I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own. So am very grateful to have joined this tour. Fully recommended!
- 4 days Discovery the Best of Rio de Janeiro
Excellent tour. Really couldn't be happier with the people (guides), the locations we went, the food at the Carretão, the hotel Windsor Excelsior, the drivers, etc. etc. I definitely would recommend this tour with the limited days we had in Rio. Glad I found TourRadar!!!
