We spent a week in Rio in late March 2026 and used Rio de Janeiro by Cariocas Travel for three private (i.e. dedicated, not group) tours. A half day in the Tijuca national park, a half day at the wonderful Barra de Guaratiba with Sitio Burle Marx garden and a full day trip to Petropolis. We had the same guide for each trip, who drove his own car. The guide went out of his way to ensure a good experience. So, on the basis of our experience, I can recommend Rio de Janeiro by Cariocas Travel.
We also went to the Roxy dinner show in Copacabana and Sugarloaf Mountain. I tried to book tickets for both of these using the official websites (not third party ones) but neither attractions’ websites would “allow” use of my UK credit cards. However, Rio de Janeiro by Cariocas Travel made these bookings and provided a simple online payment method, which worked.
