Limited satisfaction – we would have expected more from a private transfer in this price range.
We booked a private transfer with Top Transfer for our family from Rio de Janeiro International Airport to Ilha Grande and back 14 days later. The total price for the round trip was 3,960 R$ (at the exchange rate at the time, about 674 €). Included in the price was a private bus just for us from Rio de Janeiro airport to the port, followed by a speedboat shared with other passengers to Ilha Grande. Unfortunately, our experience did not start very well. In advance, we were in contact with Daniella from the Top Transfer operations team. She told us exactly where we should meet after our arrival at the airport and announced that she would accompany our trip. The pickup was scheduled for 2:00 PM. About 45 minutes beforehand, we informed Daniella that we had already landed and were on our way to the agreed-upon meeting point. At 2:00 PM, we reported again that we had arrived there. Following that, we received a link through which we could track the driver. Unfortunately, our driver, Adilson Moura dos Santos, did not appear until 40 minutes later, at 2:40 PM. Heavy traffic was cited as the reason. That was difficult for us to understand, as we had previously been led to believe that the driver would already be waiting for us and would come to the airport entrance at the agreed-upon time. Waiting at the meeting point for 40 minutes with three children, even though it was a pre-booked and correspondingly high-priced private transfer, was annoying. It is not clear to us whether the communication between the operations team and the driver did not work here or whether the delay was due to the driver himself. For the customer, however, that ultimately only plays a subordinate role: For a private transfer in this price range, an agreed-upon pickup should be reliably organized. The driver apologized upon his arrival and the subsequent drive initially went without problems. Shortly before the harbor, however, a situation occurred that worried us significantly more than the previous delay: The driver was distracted by his mobile phone and apparently noticed a line of vehicles standing in front of him very late. He had to perform an emergency stop and simultaneously swerve to the side to prevent a rear-end collision. With three children in the vehicle, that was a very unpleasant and, from our perspective, avoidable situation for us. We would like to explicitly mention as a positive that the return transfer 14 days later with the same driver went significantly better. He was on time this time, did not busy himself with his mobile phone during the drive, and brought us safely and without any problems to the airport. The return trip was accordingly much more pleasant and relaxed. Overall, we are therefore only partially satisfied. The basic organization of the transfer and especially the return transfer worked well. Given a total price of 3,960 R$, however, we expect punctuality, reliable communication, and above all, completely safe driving behavior for a private transfer. Especially regarding these points, there was unfortunately a clear need for improvement on the outbound trip.

SCAMMERS
THEY ARE A SCAM!!! Don't hire them!!!! They were supposed to look for us for an excursion to paradise islands and never orssbted. Having paid in advance as all tour. They were supposed to look for us by Vermhelo and tell us that they are looking for us by another beach an hour walk or 200 reais by boat. A MESS!! SCAMMERS!!! They communicate with you and have no idea you hired them.

Perfect price/quality balance
Excellent service, fair price and no hidden fee’s! I found very common in Rio that the arranged price is not always the final price… I was very happy to notice that Top Transfer is clear and upfront about the price (that was also very good price) The service was perfect and with constant communication. I would definitly recommend. Brigado!

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max) cost?
+
Prices start at $538 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 Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 41 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 Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max)?
+
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 Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max)?
+
Around 14 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private transfer from Rio de Janeiro x Angra dos Reis (10 max) 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, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide. 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.
