The Sugarloaf tour was amazing and I was so happy that G was once again my guide. She is so sweet and very knowledgeable about her beloved city. I asked many questions and she was thorough in her answers, although I won't remember all of them. The views from the top were amazing and the sunset, spectacular! I would highly recommend this tour. Thanks, G!

Nice tour and interesting stories from the guide

Sugar Loaf has been recommended to me several times and we liked it very much. The view is great and you have a beautiful all-round view. There isn't that much to see on the Sugar Loaf itself, but you can enjoy the view. Our guide Pedro was great and made the stay very entertaining and peppered it with stories.
