Rachel, was fantastic showing us around. especially with the forecast showing rain all day. Rachel spirit and energy saying it will pass, we'll it definitely did and it Rio, was so beautiful. I will definitely recommend to whoever is looking to do a tour

We had an amazing day exploring Rio on this trip. Jonas was an excellent guide, he was very knowledgable, friendly and approachable. ‘Little’ George our driver was also great. Pick-up was on time and we appreciated all of the information Jonas shared with the group whilst driving. We had plenty of time to explore the Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. Personally we thought we could have done with less time at the cathedral and more time at the steps as it’s very busy and a lot to take in. Traffic can be bad in Rio and there are long queues for the cable cars to Sugar Loaf, but as other reviews have mentioned- there is nothing the guides can do about this! Perhaps it would be worth paying more for fast pass, as we did miss sunset. But the views were still spectacular. Overall a great day, would really recommend and loved our guide.
