★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 469 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $90

Angra dos Reis and Ilha Grande by bus and schooner, with swimming, snorkeling, island beaches, lunch, and practical tips.

“While we are happy to have visited the island, unfortunately we would never recommend this tour. 3 bus loads of people on 1 boat was uncomfortable. This coupled with other tour groups flocking to the same area and we were taken to absolutely tiny areas of sand with no room for people explore and enjoy the island. There was zero focus on protecting the environment, guests were jumping off the boat onto the fish area, putting cigarettes in the water. No care for anyone’s health and safety, ladders were slippery, people jumping over other guests. We spent more time on the coach than on the island. We arrived at our…”

Review of Manaus’ full-day Amazon River tour, with meeting waters, pink dolphins, Victoria Regia lilies, Indigenous culture, lunch, and practical tips.

“where should I start? All I can say is that I was completely thrilled by this tour and that my expectations were by far exceeded!! That started at the lecture with the appointment the day before. Even though I didn't live in the defined area, they offered to pick me up there anyway! I found that very friendly. The next morning the driver contacted me to confirm the pickup and pickup time, which meant I didn’t have to wait unnecessarily on the street. When we arrived at the port, we were able to check in quickly for the tour and we set off soon. The guide showed up and explained…”

He will tell you about Brazil's history as well, very interesting and nice to have this background information before entering the forest. We really enjoyed the hike and would definetely recommend to add this to you Rio de Janeiro list of things you should do!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 118 reviews · 14 hours (approx.) · from $40

Review of the Angra dos Reis day tour from Rio, covering boat stops, lunch, long transfers, value, weather, and who should book.

“First if all they canceled our tour and didn't notify us about it. I reached out on WhatsApp and found out when they were late for pick up from the hotel. They offered another tour to Buzios, we agreed because we didn't have anything else scheduled. Absolutely uneventful trip. The time on the bus absolutely was not worth the trip. This trip was supposed to include a boat ride but they just canceled it and didn't offer anything instead. We had booked multiple tours with thus operator and we canceled our last tour because of this poorly managed trip. All we basically did 5 hour drive to Buzios (including pick…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 81 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $126

See Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selarón Steps, and more on a 9-hour Rio tour with lunch, transport, and a small group.

“It is a shame that I have to give them one star at all. Be warned this is advertised as a city tour with several stops. Once in the bus you will notice 19 seats for customers. 7 of them you can’t see out the window. The last two rows are above the windows and the other seats. You have to try and bend over and really contort your body to see out of the bus. You have no control over what seats you pick because it is based on when they pick people up. If you are closer to the excursion, you will be picked up last and have…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $186

Review Rio’s 8-hour highlights tour with Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, lunch, Carnival sites, guides, timing, and honest value advice.

“Hello Ana! The City Tour in Rio de Janeiro was a captivating experience, largely thanks to our guide, "Mini Guia" Roberto. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the journey. Roberto's anecdotes and insights about the city's landmarks, such as Christ The Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the iconic Celaron Steps, truly enhanced the tour. However, a slight drawback was the timing. I felt that if we had started the tour a bit earlier, it would have allowed for a more leisurely exploration of the main attractions. Spending an additional 10 minutes at each landmark, especially the aforementioned iconic spots, would have been ideal. The…”
