    Very well organized and excellent guided by Sergio!

    Originally we had only bought and planned to visit Cristo Redentor and the Sugarloaf mountain. However the weather was not the best to get the most out of those 2 and the guide suggested we started with a tour in the city, I e the Selaron Steps, Maracanã Stadium and some churches/cathedral- very very nice! We had not booked this, it was very easy to adjust the booking and the planning of the day. The guide, Sergio, was very informative the full day and together with the driver they planned the day excellent, adjusted the activities to the weather and we got the best views and very smooth passes in the lines to all activities the full day. Can really recommend the tour as well as the guide, Sergio!

    Superb tour of two iconic sights

    The local tour operator contacted me promptly, after I purchased the tickets on this website, to arrange the pick up time and location. The tour was very well organised and our guide was excellent - very knowledgeable and friendly. The great thing about this particular tour was that it was early so we got to Christ the Redeemer before other tourists arrived en mass. If you buy the option with Sugarloaf Mountain, you should double check whether or not the local operator is aware because I ended up paying for more tickets when we got there and then had to contact Get Your Guide afterwards to get a refund. It was handled quickly and pleasantly, but was just a bit of extra hassle.

    Easy and enjoyable

    I’m glad we took advantage of an early access tour. There were still quite a few people at Corcovado when we actually arrived at the top (8:30 or so), but nothing compared to normal traffic, according to our tour guide. The convenience of the provided transportation and very kind tour guide was worth it. You’re never going to be alone at the Cristo statue, but going early is best.
