Our driver was awesome! It’s unfortunate that we only had one day in Rio and it was completely foggy, cloudy and rainy so we couldn’t see anything and he did the best he could since nothing was visible.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We're glad the driver made the best of a foggy day. We hope to assist you with future trips worldwide Laura- Rhomtrip.com

Great Experience in Rio
Although my flight was delayed a half hour and I had issues at baggage claim that delayed me even further, Alexandre Wolf (my driver) was waiting patiently for me at the airport to get through passport control, baggage claim, and customs. He was very polite, professional, and friendly. Also very willing to tell me what he knew about Rio de Janeiro, sights to see, restaurants to go to, and so on. He was very flexible and he was interested in understanding what I wanted to see and where I wanted to go. I was still recovering from a previous injury so I was having some mobility issues. Alexandre was very careful in making sure that I was safe as we walked about various areas of Rio. The only issue I had with this tour had nothing to do with Alexandre. The tour was originally set up with a different driver and the tour operator never notified me that the original driver was not able to make it. For safety reasons, the operator should have notified me. It all worked out in the end. Alexandre was outstanding and I would not hesitate to use his services again. I highly recommend him.
Response from the operator: Dear Alice, thanks for your feedback! Happy to hear that our driver was waiting for you despite the delay in your flight. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future! Regards, Laura- Rhomtrip.com

Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle cost?
+
Prices start at $109 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 Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle 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 Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle?
+
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 Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle 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 Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle?
+
Around 1 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 Rio de Janeiro by Yourself with English Driver by private Vehicle 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.
