The tour was switched from Tijuca and Botanical Gardens to Parque Lage and Botanical Gardens and even the timing changed from afternoon to morning - both changes made after I made the reservation.
The guide was completely useless, he just kept looking at his cellphone all the time with no intention to interact with us. His only interest was to sell us helicopter tour tickets. We eventually got a separate guide at the Botanical Gardens so we learnt something of interest. This also added to our cost of the tour.
