Guides not helpful. Very bad English. Tour more interested in getting kickbacks from local peanut seller and BBQ than giving tour group any memorable experience. This tour not recomended. By far the worst tour I have done world wide. You dont visit a beach you need to swim to it. Dont waste your money lots else to do in this loverly town.

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.
