Reviews of our Rio de Janeiro Tours for July
Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Rio de Janeiro during July.
Ann B | Traveled in July
What set this apart was the CEOs (Oscar and Flor). They really made this tlwhole trip easy. They relayed all the information so you could just relax and enjoy the holiday. Their experience, knowledge and support was invaluable to make this a holiday to just sit back and relax. They made all the travel, border crossings and activities seem so easy but the amount of work they do behind the scenes to enable all of this, I give them a lot of credit.
Carly F. | Traveled in July
Had the most wonderful family experience making core memories. Enjoyed by my family ranging from age 6 to 78. Cannot say enough great things about , our guide who made us feel welcome, safe, comfortable and was always one step ahead with information. He was complemented by a wonderful team of local guides each excited to share their culture and knowledge. Highlights were the food, tango, walking along the beach, sunrises in Rio, Christ the Redeemer (not too crowded), and the mist of Iguasu falls.
Alan | Traveled in July
Great trip especially the Amazon. Diego was a great tour leader and Victor was also excellent. its quite expensive though. last year I had to cancel the same trip at the last minute and was disappointed that explore did not give me any credit or repayment as I am a regular and loyal customer. the group was small and i would have preferred a bigger more lively group ideally. But Brazil is fab.
Lindsey B. | Traveled in July
Impossible to get through on the phone to Gadventures prior to departure in Australia. But I got into trouble in Chile and support from Gadventures was fantastic. 2 more things done from my bucket list?thank you.
Megan Opel | Traveled in July
I loved everything about this tour! Our guide, Edmundo, was very knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does. We got to see Rio from a different perspective. If you are an art lover, this is a must. If you aren't, there is so much history in the tour that there is something for everyone.
Gautam M. | Traveled in July
It is a good itinerary, but Manaus ( Brazil) could have been added with another 3-4 days extra to make it more attractive or the Galapagos islands trip for 01 -02 N. The must carry list should have been explained for like Boat ride Iguazu Falls of Argentina side like Rain Coat, Folding Umbrella, Extra Pair of Shoe, Spray repelant to protect from Amazon Flies etrc.
