15 Best Day Trips from Rio

“Great experience. Had a lot of fun exploring Petrópolis. Would recommend. Visited museums, explored the shops and went to a chocolate cafe.”

“Great driver. Communication with the company was outstanding. Many checking to make sure timing was correct”

“La guía no fue muy buena y el tour era desorganizado e innecesariamente largo, el almuerzo recién fue a las 18.00 y llegamos de vuelta casi a medianoche (partimos a las 8 de la mañana). A pesar de que no recomendaría tomar el tour con…”

“Overall, our group made the best of the day and tried to enjoy the experience for what it was but of the 10 days that we were in Rio this was the bottom of the list. As other reviewers have noted, this was not a…”

“The water was a beautiful color and quite warm. The blue lagoon had a lot of fish swimming right around you. You were able to rent a snorkel and mask. A photographer could take your picture in the water with the fish. Although we chose…”
