Excellent trip overall. Sparkle was an amazing host. Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and the cooking class were major highlights. Felt safe the entire trip. Our local guide Rhiani was very knowledgeable. Great itinerary but would love a little more free time. Would also recommend cutting out some of the preplanned dinners. Would like to dine out on my own some for more food variety. Would recommend!
