Is it my rate fair? How much does it cost other tour options in Rio? I have done the research for you:
A bus tour in a group (up to 44 people): 104 USD p.p.
A taxi tour: 255 USD per taxi
Prices Sources: Gray Line and Central Taxi [these prices may be outdated]
The major disadvantages of bus group tours are:
1) It usually takes a lot of time to pick up people at hotels
2) These tours move as fast as the slowest person in the group
The major disadvantages of taxi tours are:
1)The majority of drivers doesn’t speak a single word in English
2) Most of them are not licensed guides
3) Most cars are not spacious
