Spent the whole day with my partner on this tour and honestly, it was EPIC. We started at the Museum of Tomorrow—sooo futuristic and the exhibits make you think about stuff you usually just ignore. FYI, can’t take pics in some parts, but it’s not a biggie. Our guide Alex was just the sweetest, kept checking in if we needed water or bathroom breaks. AquaRio was a blast for us, even tho we’re not kids—those crazy huge fish! Lunch was nearby at a chill little spot, not included, but worth it. Olympic Boulevard stroll was HOT (bring sunscreen for real), but the murals are wild. Some crowds at the museum but nothing insane. Left feeling like we’d seen a whole other side of Rio.

Went solo on the tour and felt super welcome, which was a relief tbh. The guide (I think her name was Livia?) was chatty and knew LOADS about the area. Museum of Tomorrow is a bit crowded on Saturdays, but the lines moved fast. AquaRio was cooool, even though little loud with so many kiddos around. Caught some rain walking Olympic Blvd, so take an umbrella just in case. Still, I’d def recommend, especially if you’re into science-y stuff.

Family trip with wife + 2 kids (ages 7 and 10). Museum of Tomorrow blew us away, esp. the hands-on stuff. AquaRio was a HIT for the kids—sharks, rays, even a giant turtle that looked fake! Our guide was patient even when kids got a bit wild. Only downside, felt a bit rushed at the end, but we got to see it all. Bring snacks for little ones, cafe lines got long.

    Came with my mom, she’s a science buff so this was RIGHT up her alley. Museum of Tomorrow is stunning inside and out. AquaRio was less crowded than I expected, and the tunnel with fish swimming overhead was magical. Our guide made sure everyone got group pics (she took them for us, so nice). Only tip: bring water, gets warm in museum halls.

    Went as a group of four friends and had a BLAST. Museum was wild, so much tech. We had to wait a bit to get in (like 25 mins), but guide kept us entertained. AquaRio = highlight for sure, especially the touch tank. It was packed, but not too bad if you’re patient. Bring a jacket, aquarium is cold!

    Did this with my wife and kids (ages 5 and 8). Both spots are kid-friendly, especially the aquarium. Our guide made sure to point out the best viewing spots. Can get a little loud at AquaRio but that’s part of the fun. Museum is a little more serious, but still cool.
