Before leaving, they confirmed the pick-up point via WhatsApp, as many streets were closed due to the street carnival, but the driver managed very well to stick to the planned itinerary. The commentary in three languages was sufficient, and the guide explained any changes to the itinerary. She also warned us about speed bumps and tunnels so that we wouldn't lose our hats, which were very useful in the sun.

It was an excellent plan, the schedules were respected, the staff was very friendly and provided accurate information, the sites visited were very beautiful, and the buses were very comfortable. I highly recommend this plan for families, couples, or individuals. The weather was perfect, and the air-conditioned transportation was the best. You can enjoy yourself in comfort and peace.

Walter in the mall was very helpful. The party bus wasn't good for viewing but the next coach was much better. The lady who runs the stop at Selaron steps was really helpful and caring and gave good instructions to get to the Cathedral. The Cathedral is really peaceful and the stained glass inside is beautiful and worth a visit. The tour is good value

Good way getting an overview of Rio's intesting points. You still need to ride the train to Santa Teresa, visit the Library and the famous Coffee House at City Center
