We did two tours with Rio Maximum. Both times the tour was well organized and guides were very friendly. The full day city tour was particularly good as we saw lots and had enough time in each spot to have a look around and take some pictures. Lunch buffet was also good but the restaurant was busy. Would recommend this company.

We booked a last minute custom group tour of Rio with this outfit and was very pleased. The agent I texted with,Diego, was super helpful with suggested several itineraries that fit our compressed schedule.And our guide, Eva, was especially delightful and generous with her knowledge of the city. And our driver Michael was efficient and courteous. Five BIG stars!
