“We had a wonderful sunset sailing cruise with Dream Destination Rio (ddrio.com) 10 passengers in total (we were the oldest) around Guanabara Bay in Rio! Our crew of 3 included the captain, Apollo, and his helpers, Adriana and Lutetia! We sailed around the bay including getting close to the water’s edge of Sugarloaf Mountain which we had been on the top of only 2 days prior. Of course, we were constantly in view of Christ the Redeemer Statue on top of Corcovado Mountain! Adriana and Lutetia served us drinks and snacks whilst we cruised for 3 hours. We enjoyed chatting to them throughout the cruise learning about life in Rio!…”
Review of Rio’s Christ the Redeemer, Selarón Steps, and Sugarloaf sunset tour, with practical advice on queues, timing, guides, and value.
“Jonas, our guide is amazing, we are at the tail end of the adventure & I had to review him right now. His English is great, he took special care of everyone in our group and was very accommodating. The 4 stops we had were just what we needed to see Rio in all of its splendor. I am still thinking of hang gliding and going to Tijuca parque/rainforest. We really enjoyed Christ the Redeemer, Selaron, Cathedral, & Sugarloaf mountain. Glad we chose this experience and C2Rio was the best company to take us!”

The ride up and down in the motorbikes was a fun way to start and end the hike and the hike itself was moderately challenging but had a ton of places to stop for some awesome photos. Robinson was very nice, knowledgeable and he even helped me find my lost phone after the tour was finished! He is a very good person. I highly recommend doing this hike and I highly recommend doing it with Robinson!”
