SCAMMERS
SCAM AND THEY DON'T RESPOND! We hired TopTransfer for transfer to Buzios at 3.30PM and upon arriving at the airport we had no information where we would be picked up, TopTransfer was nowhere to be found. At 3.28PM they wrote to me from InBuzios (a company subcontracted to provide the service) to send me to their stand. When I get there they tell me the van is gone and I must wait for the 5.30PM. I couldn't wait two more hours there for a service I wasn't even sure I'd get. I finally rented a car on my own. To this day they do not respond or return the money.

SCAMMED IN BUZIOS BRAZIL
A disaster I must have looked for ubers since the company didn't look for us 7.30 didn't arrive, at our telephone insistence we answered 8.30 arrives, at 8.45 we decided to call Uber since we missed our flight, we left by Uber and they had not arrived. The service was subscribed, we wrote and called claiming our money and no one answered. I wouldn't take your services A SCAM

Scammers
On January 3rd I booked the transport, they never picked me up from the hotel and they didn’t answer my calls or my messages, they dropped me in Buzios and I missed my flight from Rio de Janeiro to Lima, I had to pay a taxi from Buzios to Rio and pay for a new ticket to Lima, a month later they don’t answer my messages or make the return of my money

Scam
We got ripped off. We hired the private service from Rio airport to Buzios and we were stood up, we were not answered and we had to hire a new transfer. Waiting hours with a baby and a little girl at the airport.

Why this scores 34

Private Transfer Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 max: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private Transfer Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 max cost?
+
Prices start at $866 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 Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 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 Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 max worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 34 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.8/5 across 13 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 Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 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 Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 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 Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 max?
+
Around 5 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 Groups: Rio x Búzios, Arraial and Cabo Frio, 12 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, 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.
