  The tour offered a variety of activities from the outrageous lifestyle of Lapa, the shady but inspiring stories of the Favela, the beach vibes of Rio, the amazing Carnaval. The Hotel accommodation was good; walkable distance to restaurants. We found a place that serves great Açai, and Flan! Some activities though are tiring especially on a hot humid day of February like the walk from the hotel to the Metro, and to the Marina or from the Metro to the Ipanema rock for sunset. The group was wondering how the company could not just have a Van to haul everybody back and forth to locations? We ended up using Uber on our own half the time. The face painting by an “artist” needs time-management. There were more than 20 in our group and the so called “artist” spends 30-45 min on one or two or three people with elaborate colors, talks in-between task, and poses for photos. So of course when he was pressed for time he can only do minimal “painting” on the rests of the group — like he did mine for 5 minutes. Can’t help but feel cheated. I think there should be a time limit for each person so others can be equally accommodated and not rushed. Some activities are too closed in-between that there is hardly any time to rest and eat. Not a deal breaker but just so you can be prepared. Bring/buy an umbrella, a hat, lots of sun block; buy the Fan that makes sound—- you can party with it, and it doubles up as a shade against the harsh sun. The sunset boat tour offered a great view of Rio’s marina/coastline; the blockos are fun but be aware that the crowd can be rowdy and explicit— It was short of an orgy we thought it made Vegas looks like childplay. Over all, we are glad we came and joined on this tour by Bamba Travel. We rate the team leader/tour owner Jorge, as Excellent. Jorge really made efforts to communicate, to greet every one, to assist every one, and even offered assistance post-tour. There were plenty of his Staff all around us, love that there is always someone who will walk with any one of us who decide to go back to the Hotel earlier at night. Jorge, and his Staff were organized, made us feel safe and connected. We would recommend this tour just because of Jeorge :)Show more

  It was a very nice 3-day trip to the world of Tortuguero Laguna Lodge. The facilities and the service were excellent. The tour guide Walter did an excellent job. The only thing we didn't like was the return transfer. We had to take a cab from our hotel Vilas del Rio to the Wyndham Garden pick-up point. A direct pick-up would have been possible in terms of traffic. Therefore one star less. It was a wonderful three-day trip into the world of the Tortuguero Laguna Lodge. Both the grounds and the service were outstanding. Our tour guide, Walter, did an excellent job. The only thing we were not pleased with was the transfer service to and from the lodge; on both legs of the journey, we had to take a cab from our hotel, Vilas del Rio, to the designated pickup point at the Wyndham Garden. A direct pickup would have been entirely feasible from a traffic standpoint. For this reason, we are deducting one star.Show more
