Super relaxing - Walk to do when you stay several days in Rio you see all kinds of trees and plants and even monkeys The best is to be accompanied by a guide who will teach you many things I recommend Alain Bertin (French Portuguese Spanish Italian)

Great summary of the rainforest and garden - Luciano our tour guide was great. Super friendly and very knowledgeable. Keep in mind, the jeep has no roof. So bring bug spray, sunblock and recommend to bring pants or jeans. Shorts are fine but their are bugs in the rain forest. So be smart. The tour itself was a lot of fun and great to see all the highlights.

Birthday Adventure - The ride in the open jeep gave us a really great view of the city. Just to smell the fresh and sun on my face was amazing. Our tour guide was very informative and kind. He pointed out so many interesting things. Please remember your bug repellent. The mosquitoes were relentless. The waterfall at the end was worth the very short hike.

Rio area experience - Nice trip in open-bed jeep. Amelia, our guide, was very friendly and attentive. Time at botanical gardens could have been longer but the rain forest was very interesting. One suggestion is to advise on their advertising that entry to the botanical gardens requires cash. Fortunately we had enough. I would recommend this tour.
