I reserved, and had a ticket for a 2pm departure. The provider messaged me advising of 7:50 am pickup. I replied 2 times that this was incorrect and I have a 2pm tour. I never received a response from the provider. Upon arrival at Rio, I called the provider to coordinate pickup. They said they have no afternoon tour departure!! No one ever advised me of this! Otherwise I would have cancelled on time! Poor communication from the operator and Viator. Now I have to fight to get a refund!

Our guide, Louis, was multi-lingual and did the tour in 3 languages - quite impressive, and he was easy to follow. I had requested a later tour, but the tour operator got back to me to explain that during the high season, starting early is better. While we had to wait on line at Christ the Redeemer, the crowds were not overwhelming. Very enjoyable tour!

I actually didn’t get to go on this tour because they never showed up to pick me up. The problems started upon booking, I had booked for a 2pm tour the following day and they then told me they didn’t actually offer - so they booked me on an 8am instead (making it non refundable, as this was now in the less than 24 range, whereas the 2pm would have been easily cancellable.) I rearranged my day to make the tour work, showed up to the pickup point and waited for over an hour. They completely ghosted me with zero response to messages through the booking platform, text or email. Stay away!!!
