Recommend - The best transfer/taxi service ever! Before our trip to Rio (Nov 2020), we researched many transportation companies but many of them seem unreliable. When we found Rio Taxi Transfer the reviews seem too good to be true but they provided us a service of excellence! Could not have asked for more polite and knowledgeable drivers, more comfortable cars, or an easier booking process. They provided a transfer service to/from Rio - Buzios & airport. We will use them again. Thank you Agostinho and Marcelo :)

We booked online with Super Flor late the night before our date after checking out a Trip Advisor review. We arrived at Pier 2 at Arraial do Cabo and got our harbor tickets after a quick Portuguese translation with a Super Flor rep. We then talked to the lady taking roll call (in English) and then got on the boat. Before we left, she came over to us and indicated we had booked for the day after and the boat was full already!! We told her we were going to be leaving the next day so we would not be able to make it! Rather than losing our fee, they made arrangements for us with another tour company (Tortuga Tur) within 10 minutes and we were on our way with them for a very similar boat tour. A lot of tour companies would say sorry but there is nothing we can do since it was my fault in the first place! Kudos to Super Flor (and Tortuga Tur as well) for making our day an enjoyable one!

Anderson really made this trip memorable. Thank you Anderson. The statue is dramatic. Must take a camera. The Pao de Acucar has newly been updated for tourism. This venue is worth seeing with Rio Carioca Tour LTD. Ask for Anderson for your guide. He is informative and thoughtful of the guests especially the older ones. Thank you so much.
