“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!”

“It was all so easy, I ubered it to the r2rio offices, we all got into a minivan and drove to Christ the Redeemer, right to the top. The staff were all so helpful and the guide was wonderful and knowledgeable. It is very winding when you get to the top so if like me you get car sick beware of this and sit at the front and dont eat breakfast or lunch. We did the 2.30pm tour which was good as there were less people. The only thing I would have liked was more time there as we only had 40 minutes. Dont forget to visit the little chapel…”

“Nice guide and driver, and the statue is cool, but some things could be better. The pickup was about 15 minutes late with no communication, even though my hotel was the first stop. and the city tour was kind of meh, with a lot of time allocated. Lots of waiting around. Also, at least my group consisted of both English and Portuguese speaking, so the guide would say everything twice, and often when he got to the English part, we were already past whatever he was talking about.”
