I got moved to a different tour since this was not offered during Carnaval, so I was one a tour that went to Christ and Sugarloaf. The tour that I went on was definitely not one of the first groups there and it was packed. I think it would be better to decide on a day where you want to go to the statue and wake up early to take yourself there. I also don't think you would need a tour for Sugarloaf. There's a large shopping center at the top of both mountains and it would have been nice to sit and have lunch or a few drinks there. But since we only got 30 minutes at the top of sugar loaf and 20 minutes at the second stop, there wasn't time.
For both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf you'd be better going yourself and getting up early.
