    Great service!

    I used Paraty tours for my transportation from Ipanema to Paraty. They were on time and professional, while the driver was nice and made stops for snacks and the restroom. Overall, excellent experience and would ride with Paraty tours again!

It is also wonderful to know that the driver was kind and made convenient stops along the way. We truly appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again on your next trip!

    Communicative, comfortable, convenient

    Communicative- had WhatsApp check-ins and confirmations from booking until day of, and only a little bit late on hotel pickup, but worth it for the convenience and comfort. Had a spacious bus, they don’t pack it crazy full, with several bathroom stops. It would be nice if they let you know how many bathroom stops and rough times when you get on, but drivers don’t speak much English. A little fast on the driving which was rough on hairpin turns through the mountains, but it seems like a reliable service to get to several towns.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! 💙 We’re really glad to hear that you felt well supported throughout the whole process, from booking to the day of the trip, and that the comfort and space in the vehicle made a positive difference. Regarding the language and driving style, we understand your points and will reinforce this with our team, especially the importance of smooth and safe driving on mountain roads, as well as improving communication for non-Portuguese speakers. Thank you again for your trust and for highlighting both the positives and areas for improvement. We hope to welcome you again for an even better experience!

    Recommend for private transfers

    We used their transfer service twice, Once for a shared transfer to do Rio-Paraty and then for Paraty-Sao Paulo with a private car. Quite disappointed with the shared transfer which departed late and made a very lengthy detour as the other passengers were not headed to Paraty. We were not informed of this and of the impact on the journey time. The private transfer was much better, with a very comfortable car, and a great driver who gave us flexibility for stops along the way.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing our services for your transfers. We’re happy to hear that you had a good experience with the private transfer from Paraty to São Paulo and that the comfort of the vehicle and the flexibility of the driver made the journey more pleasant. Regarding the shared transfer, we are sorry to hear that the experience did not fully meet your expectations. As this is a shared service, small route adjustments or additional stops may occasionally occur depending on the logistics and other passengers’ itineraries. Even so, we always aim to keep the journey as efficient and comfortable as possible. Your feedback is very important to us and helps us continue improving our services. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in Paraty on a future visit. Kind regards, Paraty Tours Team 🚐🌊

    From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.

    Is From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty?

    +

    Around 13 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Río de Janeiro - hotels: shared transfer to Paraty start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
