The tour guide was absolutely marvelous, He spoke every language of all the people who where on the tour. He interacted and was a great asset . The sights were monumental and life changing the Christ Redeemer is what you think, beautiful touching, warm heartfelt and captivating , The Heights an view of the mountain was impeccable

The actual tour was just over an hour and was brilliant but nearly 5 hours in the bus which was late in arriving, would have been quicker and probably cheaper just getting a taxi to and from the hotel!

Excellent.

This was a very relaxing first day activity ... They pick you up in comfortable bus and drive you through the city to the base Corcovado Mountain. The guide buys the tickets for the charming cog train, which takes you up to the top of the mountain, with great views. We got about 45 minutes at the top to see the statue and views, which was plenty of time and it went quickly. Our guide was extremely nice. The mountain and statue are basically must-sees for any trip to Rio. Yes, you can figure it out getting there yourself at a cheaper price, but who wants to do that when they've just arrived and are severely jet lagged? _br/_ Two things to be aware of ... The guide on my trip was basically handling logistics. We were given audio guides to learn about Rio, and they weren't that great. They were kind of simplistic and a bit dopey._br/_ The other issue is that the pick-up places are basically around Copacabana and Ipanema. I was staying in a different part of the city, so they wouldn't pick me up at my hotel. I had to take the metro to Copacabana, which was easy enough but not what I had in mind when I booked the trip. So keep that in mind if you're not staying on the beach.

A large group tour but with a fluent, knowledgeable multilingual guide. Unfortunately I didn't realize it's better to take the morning tour, esp if you want ideal pix of the statue behind. It's very crowded up top and the sun angle limits your photos.

I though the Christ Redeemer was GREAT. It was a clear day.

This excursion is a self-guided experience that provides you ticketed access to both the Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue. I went midday on a weekday and the statue was PACKED! Add the massive crowd to the rolling high-altitude fog, and youll understand why youll need to be patient when it comes to quality photo opportunities of the statue. Id recommend at least two hours for this excursion to ascend the mountain by cable car longer if youre opting to hike maneuver around the crowds to take in the sights and posted facts and snap awesome pictures! All in all, the excursion is worth the price as roundtrip transportation was included from my hotel. With the transportation included, youre treated to an impromptu tour of the city both going and coming from the attraction. Just remember to pack your patience, and some water.

This was a great tour our guide made sure that our wait in line was short. It was a beautiful day and the scenes from the top of the mountain were outstanding. Our guide continued to provide valuable information from the time we got in the bus until our departure. Great trip!

For 75 you are basically provided transportation in the form of a bus to the cog train. You aren't picked up at your hotel but a nearby hotel. You're given 30-45 minutes to snap photos of the monument and then take the cog train back down. Depending on group size you'll have to wait a bit to board the bus again as lines for the cog train may be awhile.

Excellent tour, extremely knowledgeable tour leader.
Review by: Rose G, September 2016
Unfortunately it was cloudy that afternoon. I would recommend this tour be taken in the morning before the clouds roll in. The statue is very impressive, and imposong. No views because of the clouds.

Basically just a bus ride to base of Corcovado Mt. Guide didn't add any insight as usually get with Viator guides.
Review by: duffeyg, September 2016
Comfortable bus alas, we got to the top after sundown.
Review by: Jeremy P, August 2016
We had the bad luck of a foggy day so when we got to the top there was nothing to see.....nothing!_br/_ This was by no means the tours fault of course. The 2 stars is because the price of the tour was not justified by the service, let me explain. The tour consisted of getting on a very nice charter bus and listening to a recorded narration on the way to Corcovado. Once at Corcovado the headphones were collected, we boarded the train and headed to the top. Once at the top there was no tour or explanation of what we were seeing or not seeing in this case. So we wandered for an hour and then rode the train back down. Even on the train there was no narration of what we were seeing, history of the area, nothing. We essentially paid for a nice charter bus and train ticket up the mountain. I would hardly call it a tour.
