Excursion carried out by Gray Line in Rio. Our guide Joalber was top, very dynamic. He taught us a lot of things, and was very nice, he spoke to us in French even though we were the only 2 out of about fifteen participants. We recommend this outing to discover the wonders of Rio in one day.

A friend and I took this tour with our guide, Yan, and it was incredible. Everything was timed perfectly and taken care of. Yan knew a ton of history about Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain. He was even our personal photographer at times and took AMAZING pictures of us to last a lifetime! We really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone. Great bang for your buck!

Great Time and great guide!

Everything was nice, they picked me up at the hotel in Copacabana on time, then Camila the guide was very very nice, friendly and creative to explain famous places, roads untill we finally arrived to Christ Redeemer and the Seleron Steps. Actually we also could buy some souvenir in a store near. At the end they took me to the hotel. I would do it again!
