The tour completely fulfilled our expectations. Patricia, our guide, was attentive at all times, explained each site and was very entertaining. We met many river titles in one day and the food was delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended.

A wonderful day spent among the wonders of Rio. The tour was fantastic in every way: excellent organization, exceptional guide. It's a shame that voice guidance in Italian wasn't available.

Honestly, we got off to a bad start from the moment we arrived. They tell you to be there at 8 a.m., but they arrive at 8:40 a.m.40. The time spent at each site is very short, and they don't explain the history or historical facts very well. The walk to the Seralon staircase takes 5 minutes, and you don't actually go up the stairs, you just take a photo from below and then get back on the bus. The walk to the cathedral takes 10 minutes, you take 1 or 2 photos and then you're off again. The only thing I really liked about this experience is that the place where they take you to eat is really worth it and the food is delicious...
