“When you pay so much money, you expect the tour to be an English only not in two languages at the same time and I don’t It was so good anyways not the same as I experience from past tours guys. And the food was not as I was expected was not good. This is my opinion although I tipped ithe guide nicely. And also I wasn’t expect 13 people. I was thinking something like six. Thx”

Brazilian Rhythms at the Roxy in Copacabana, with optional Brazilian BBQ dinner and hotel transfers for an easy late-night cultural show.
“We were collected on time and returned to our hotel without any problems. We booked the meal component of this tour and we LOVED the restaurant. The food was great and I would highly recommend the Brazilian BBQ. It was a set price menu consisting of salad then all the meat you can eat served with rice, french fries and onion rings. The dessert was ice cream and fruit salad. Drinks were extra but not over the top. The show itself was caught in a time warp. The venue was old, the table and seating old and the drinks expensive and undrinkable we ordered red wine and couldn't drink it.…”

“Really nice tour, overall. The 2 hour cruise was the perfect amount of time to be out on the bay. We saw all of the 'must see' locations and the ride was very comfortable. Our guide gave us valuable tips for staying in Rio during our transport to and from the hotel. Totally worth the price of admission.”

The staff were very kind and accommodating, always asking if we wanted more food and drinks. Special thanks to Rico who went above and beyond to make great caipirinhas and BBQ through the whole trip! I would definitely do this again and highly recommend!”
A smooth 9-hour Rio highlights loop: Corcovado and Christ, Sugarloaf by cable car, Selarón Steps, Cathedral, Maracanã and Sambadrome views, plus a barbecue lunch.
“Feb 2024 - The tour of the sights was very cool to see, with amazing views of the city! However I was disappointed that there was barely any mention of the African contribution to the foundations of Rio. You cannot talk about the history of Rio without talking about the African people! African people immensely contributed and built this beautiful city into what it is today! As each generation passes their blood, sweat and tears is continually overlooked from generation to generation. However as nature changes their stories will eventually be told.”
