The activity is led by a certified climbing guide, takes place in small groups, and ends at the summit with panoramic views of Rio de Janeiro. It’s a safe, structured and authentic adventure for travelers who want more than a standard sightseeing tour.

3 Hour Rocinha Favela Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Matthew_N, Jun 2026

Ray was an incredibly...

Ray was an incredibly knowledgeable and attentive host. This tour includes van travel from two choices of pickup to the Favela and a return trip after the tour. The tour introduces a more positive view of the favela. I felt safe throughout the trip thanks to the system in place and attentiveness of our guide and guard. They warned us when phones and other potential recording devices had to be kept out of site. I would recommend bringing good walking shoes and extra cash to either donate to the various organizations you are welcomed to or to purchase drinks and snacks during the tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see and experience an important cultural aspect of Brazil and Rio.

Swim Under Tijuca Waterfalls — Hike, Caves, Wildlife & Rio Views

Till_B, Jun 2026

Absolutely loved our tour...

Absolutely loved our tour through Tijuca National Park! Our guide Eric was fantastic - knowledgeable, passionate about the park, and his great sense of humour made the whole experience genuinely fun. He had us laughing throughout while still making sure we learned so much about the nature and history of the area. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!

Skip-the-Line: Sugarloaf Mountain Cable Car Ticket

MissR_G, May 2026

Well worth it

You’ll have to change your viator confirmation email/ticket into a voucher at the main ticket area of the cable car. It is chaotic and did take about 30 minutes to do…HOWEVER it is well worth it when you see how long the ques are to get onto the cable car for the peoepl who do not have skip the line. Thoroughly reccomend paying the extra, saving your feet and time by purchasing skip the line tickets.

Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included

Ryan_A, May 2026

10/10! Organized & efficient tour!

My friend and I truly enjoyed our experience and time with Gustavo! Gustavo was able to translate the tour in English which made for a seamless experience. If you’re worried about getting around please be at ease. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. Lunch options were and delicious. We were allotted the perfect amount of time at each location. We walked away from the experience tired but super informed. 10000% worth it.

The Best Half Day in Rio with Christ Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Hill

James_S, May 2026

Once in a Lifetime Experience. Thanks Gabi!

I am always apprehensive about group tours. I feel like you are herded around, barked at, provided no freedom to tour the sites, and overcharged. This was not the case with this tour. From the moment we started, our guide, Gabi, was knowledgeable, witty, and affable in the way she balanced all the different personalities in the group. I never felt rushed. She provided a ton of great information, but it didn’t feel like Social Studies class. She was funny, but she wasn’t trying too hard to be funny. I am more inclined to take part in a tour like this moving forward, but I know I won’t get a guide like Gabi again.

Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls

YJ_K, May 2026

Amazing Tijuca Forest Adventure!

Our guide was excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable about the Tijuca Forest. The hike was beautiful and included incredible viewpoints. Everything was well organized and the experience felt safe and enjoyable from start to finish. One of the highlights of our trip to Rio highly recommended!

Full Day in Rio: Christ by Train, Sugarloaf, Selarón & Barbecue

Sitrina_D, Apr 2026

Informative, Well-Organized, and Unforgettable

Our tour guide, LETICIA SAMPAIO, was amazing! I had an incredible full day experience on this Rio de Janeiro tour! It was the perfect balance of sightseeing and learning, and I walked away with a much deeper appreciation for the city’s history, culture, and energy. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, and the guide was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Rio. From iconic landmarks to local insights you wouldn’t get on your own, the tour was informative without ever feeling overwhelming. Everything ran smoothly. If you’re visiting Rio and want a comprehensive, enriching experience, I highly recommend this tour. It truly exceeded my expectations!

Private Custom Full-Day Highlights in Rio: Only the Best Sights!

Carol_C, Mar 2026

Beautiful Introduction to Rio

We spent the day with Gustavo from Viator, who “hosted” our entire first day in Rio very well. It took a long time to get through the lines on the way to Christ the Redeemer but Gustavo shaved at least an hour from the wait time by negotiating “standing room” seats on the train to the top, which was pretty brilliant. We then drove to Copacabana beach which was gorgeous and to a very local vendor to buy tee shirts for the grandkids (great deal!). Gustavo took us to lunch at a local restaurant in Santa Theresa (Armazem San Joaquim) with a marvelous Samba musician. We wrapped up the day with a tour of the Metropolitan Cathedral. It was a wonderful start to our Rio experience!

Discover Rio Little Africa: A Cultural and Historical Journey

hm8nhkpc6r, Mar 2026

Larissa 11/10 :)

When it comes to the best tour guide in Rio, look no farther than Larissa! From the start, she was kind, professional, and knowledgeable. A heart of gold and a commitment to justice, she transported us through time and took us on a journey of Afro Brazilian history. From the origination of Quilombos to learning the truth about where the word “Favela” comes from. She was a joy to learn from and was truly a light on our trip to Little Africa.

Rio de Janeiro Doors-Off Helicopter Tour

Prisco_M, Jan 2026

Absolutely unforgettable experience!

Flying over Rio de Janeiro by helicopter was hands down one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Seeing the city from above is something words can barely describe, the views of the coastline, the mountains, and the city itself were simply breathtaking. Everything felt professional and safe from start to finish. The pilot was friendly, calm, and clearly very experienced, which made the whole experience even better. Taking off and soaring above such an iconic city gave me chills, it’s a totally different perspective of Rio that you just can’t get from the ground. If you’re in Rio and considering this experience, do it without hesitation. It’s worth every second and every cent. I would 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf: Rio City Tour with Lunch

Ben_B, Dec 2025

Excellent Tour

Recommend this tour if you have limited time in Rio. Our Tour Guide Ursula was excellent knowledge of the subjects. We had a tour through one of the favela, all the top sights and some additional ones like the maracana Stadium. It was a long day extremely enjoyable. I booked this trip the day before had regular communication throughout, highly recommend.

Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Tour – Scenic Flights Over Landmarks

Shenna_W, Nov 2025

Hands down the best helicopter company.

Hands down one of the best companies we have dealt with during our travels. We were late due to traffic and they made accommodations so that we could still fly. We felt welcomed and invited. The entire team from ground crew to the managers and the pilot all went above and beyond. We had an epic flight around all the promised landmarks. It was a great way to begin our trip and get a lay of the land tour. The reception crew welcomed us with coffee and a brief explanation of what to expect. Then we proceeded to the flight line where the ground crew and pilot took care of our safety and communication. After liftoff it was a blissful view of the chaos of Rio and the surrounding area. The tour was informative and fun. Throughout the rest of our trip we could repeatedly say “Oh we saw that from the helicopter.”. We are pretty sure that the rest of our tour group was jealous of our time in the sky. The company is top notch. The employees there make you feel safe and pampered and allow you to relax and enjoy the flight.
