What people are saying about Southeast Region, Brazil

Sabine is an excellent guide. She is friendly and attentive and she knows a lot of things. The day went very well, with the typical attractions no morning, a quality lunch in a churrasqueira, and the city tour in the afternoon allows you to learn more about Rio. Really perfect to start discovering the city or for those in a hurry!

Sugarloaf mountain has amazing views and totally worth the visit! I paid for priority for both the ticket line and cable car boarding. Although the lines weren’t too long (arrived at ~10:30am), it still worth the money as I avoided queuing under the sun, and got my ticket and boarded the cable car within just 5 minutes.

That's strange. A request for a review comes with 5 stars preselected. :-) Well, I actually wanted to give it 5 stars anyway. Taking into account the price, the type of objects visited, and qualities of the guide, I think it was an excellent trip. I liked it.

Bruno was a great guide, we discovered a lot of beautiful places, I recommend you this tour !

Spectacular tour, and an Excellent tour guide!, Thanks to Gustavo and Get Your Guide app.
