Intercity Rio de Janeiro Porto Maravilha

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at Intercity really made the trip great. They were so attentive and kind. They even taught me some Portuguese. Muito obrigado por nos receber. Vocês foram incríveis. The food was pretty good and the Caipirinha (special shout out to Joel and Fernando, they made it the best in my opinion) and the location is pretty good too. A quick trip to most places given there’s no traffic."
