For our first day in Rio we went on an afternoon cruise of the harbour with Daniel and his team and it couldn’t have been better. They were the most brilliant hosts, safety conscious, knowledgeable on city geography and history and the catering was as good as any restaurant on land.

The tour was confirmed and payment was made several weeks in advance. We waited at the meeting point for over 40 minutes but the tour organizer never showed up. We tried to call them and write texts on whatsapp but got no replies. The owner of the whatsapp account blocked us after several attempts to call them. This company is not running anymore, at best. Or it is a fraud. We can't tell. However, Viator was quick to reply when we reported the issue and provided a complete refund. Do yourselves a favour and do not book with this organizer as it will just waste your time.
