Horrifying ordeal

I describe them: You draw your own conclusions. We leave at 05:00 am from Buzios with company InBuzios. We arrived 09:30 at Galeao Airport in Rio. The Top Transfer transport (subcontracted by InBuzios) stopped us to search at 14:30. Total 5 hours of waiting. We were transferred to the Marina where the boats leave to Ilha Grande. There, after a wait of 1:30 hours we were picked up by a car, 6 people to Paraty. We arrived at 8.30pm. Total: 15:30 hours transfer for 412 km. A real martyrdom!!!

Do not recommend this transfer, not a van as described.

We did not have a good experience with this transfer. They pick us up 40 min later than they told us to be ready. Then we were picking up other ppl in Rio for another hour. We finally left Rio for Paraty 1.5 hour later in a van with other ppl as described. We drove 2 hours and the driver stopped and said smth in Portuguese. They unloaded our bags and directed us to small sedan car. We were like: ok, we did not expect that but I guess we have another 2 hours in private sedan. But after 1 hour drive we picked up another couple with big backpacks! Our suitcases had to go on a roof and I was crumped with 2 other ppl on a back sit for another 1.5 hours. The whole trip took us 7 hours of uncomfortable ride from Rio to Paraty. I would not recommend this transfer.

Never made it!

We waited in the street for hours... we were told a few minutes of waiting at the base. In short, we can no longer wait so long with disastrous communication. If we had known .. we have few holidays, it is a waste of time! Take a taxi, this company is unreliable!

Response from the operator: Nous tenons à nous excuser si votre transfert n'a pas répondu à nos normes de qualité les plus élevées. Notre entreprise existe depuis 11 ans, offrant toujours un service de haute qualité et dans le plus grand respect de tous les clients. Nous évitons autant que possible les retards et notre secteur logistique travaille sans relâche pour que tout se passe bien. Mais malheureusement, des événements imprévus surviennent et entraînent parfois des retards. Notre transfert partagé récupère d'autres passagers jusqu'à la poursuite du voyage.

Safe and economical way to travel

Safe as a solo female traveller who does not speak portuguese. They were good with my large case and the drive was smooth and straightforward.

Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x Paraty: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x Paraty cost?

+

Prices start at $160 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 Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x Paraty take?

+

Plan for about 5 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 Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x Paraty worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 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 Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x 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 Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x Paraty suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x Paraty?

+

Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Regular Transfer Rio de Janeiro x 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 Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. 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.
