I was upset when Viator...
I was upset when Viator was not there to pick us up when booked way ahead. Had to find an English speaking agent to help me see they had cancelled. Then… Missed two uber pickups because my husband had given up the wheelchair service when we got to our pickup location and took forever trying to walk to the Uber pickup area. Needless to say it was a very frustrating beginning to our trip and I gave a bad review initially. However I must say that I have used Viator numerous times in the past and referred to friends because I trust them. I believe this case was a miscommunication due to my phone service as well as the 2-hour flight delay ground stop. Therefore I would not recommend this experience to a friend but I would still recommend Viator.
Response from the operator: I am surprised to see that Tripadvisor has allowed this review to be shown here. Here’s what happened: the flight was going to be late for about 3 hours. Have called Viator, before the lady was on the plane, and they’ve authorized me to cancel the transfer. A 3-hour wait in unacceptable, they’ve said. Therefore, I’ve marked this booking as a NO-SHOW. And I’ve also agreed to give her a full refund. The passenger knew what was happening. Viator and myself have both contacted her and finding a transfer upon arrival was all she had to do. There was no miscommunication as stated above.

Rio
Our experience was excellent. We were late and had baggage issue with Latam. Flsvio was in communication and waited for us through the entire ordeal with Latam. We are using them for our return trip to the airport. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: It was a pleasure to welcome you to Rio! And thank you for the comment here on TA.

Airport pick-up
Great service! On time and easy to identify at the airport. Received message about location and what he was wearing before. Very good driver navigating the super busy streets. Highly recommend this service.
Response from the operator: Many thanks for your comments here on TA. It was very busy indeed. Wish you a great time in Rio!

Why this scores 47
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rio de Janeiro Private Airport Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Rio de Janeiro Private Airport Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 Private Airport Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Private Airport Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 47 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 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 Private Airport Transfer?
+
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 Private Airport Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rio de Janeiro Private Airport Transfer?
+
Around 2 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rio de Janeiro Private Airport Transfer 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.
