Botanical Garden plant walk, Tijuca rainforest trail with Taunay Waterfall, plus Vista Chinesa and São Conrado views in 4 hours.
“We learnt interesting things about Jardim Botanical, Tijuca Forest and the city of Rio de Janeiro. Huge thanks to the best guide here Alan Denis. He is intelligent person who can tell you a lot of stories about everything in Rio. Obrigado, Alan!”
Half-day Rio tour with guided walks through the Botanical Garden and Tijuca Forest, plus views of Christ and Sugarloaf.
“Guide was very knowledgable about the different plants/trees in the Botanic Gardens. However, if one is not interested in botany, one can easily tour the gardens without a guide. There are many people there and it is safe. To get to the forest though, a guide/transport is needed. It is not really worth it to go to the forest unless you want some aeriel views of Rio. This tour is something you can do at the end of the trip if you have time.”

“Guide super gentil, visite sous la pluie donc un peu compliqué d’apprécier tout à sa juste valeur. Nous n’avons pas compris pourquoi l’entrée du jardin botanique n’est pas incluse dans l’activité mais à payer sur place. Peut-être l’inclure dans la réservation et la payer en amont”
Half-day Tijuca Forest tour with Vista Chinesa views, Cascatinha Taunay waterfall, and Parque Lage in Rio’s Atlantic Forest.
“There is no zero stars allowed. We have used Viator a lot across the world and this is the first time that the tour operator did not turn up, message us or acknowledge our messages. I hope that all is well but my advice is simple - DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR OR USE THIS OPERATOR! This spoilt our last day in Rio.”
Boat through Rio’s island archipelago to Gigóia, with caimans and capybaras, plus views of Pedra da Gávea and optional Barra da Tijuca.
“Recomiendo totalmente este tour, alejado de la ciudad tradicional, nos parecio un bello lugar para relajarse, apreciar la naturaleza, animales, comida y cultura. La guía Ione muy amable en explicarnos todo, su español muy bueno y nunca nos presiono o apuro en el recorrido. En la misma isla hay varios restaurantes para pasar a comer despues del tour. Ione nos recomendo uno con una bella vista, desde ese lugar habia que pedir taxi acuatico para la vuelta al metro, costó 6 reales adicionales.”
