All Brazil Tours & Excursions in 2026

A brilliant way to see the best of the park. The first hike was honestly so beautiful and the rewarding view at the top was a highlight of my whole trip. The activity went well over 5 hours though, not sure if that’s because we had too much to fit in, or the group spent too long taking photos at each destination… but something to plan for in case you have something organised for the afternoon.

This was my only tour I did my whole 10 day trip in Brazil because it was so amazing I didn’t need another. We covered EVERYTHING and the buffet was awesome my guide Karine was so helpful and knowledgeable. She spoke in English and German so easy and even helped in Portuguese when I needed her to!

We had an excellent experience on this tour and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to see the major highlights of Rio! It was a great way to visit three of the city’s must-see attractions — Christ the Redeemer, Selarón Steps, and Sugarloaf Mountain — while also seeing several other sights along the way. We especially appreciated having all of our tickets and admissions arranged in advance, which made the experience easy and stress-free. Our tour guide, Jal, was phenomenal! He shared interesting and relevant information throughout the day, kept our group of about 19–20 people organized and on schedule, and was genuinely a joy to spend the day with. We also really appreciated that he spoke fluent English and Spanish in addition to Portuguese, which was a huge benefit for such a diverse group. We were extremely lucky with the weather, particularly at Christ the Redeemer. Since we were among the first pickups of the morning, we arrived at the Visitor Center around 7 a.m., when it was surprisingly chilly — especially being in the rainforest! By the time we made our way up to the statue around 8 a.m., however, it had warmed up considerably. We had great visibility at Christ the Redeemer and beautiful weather for the remainder of the day. The itinerary was also paced very well. We had a good amount of time at each of the major stops, so we never felt overly rushed, but we also never felt like we were spending too much time in one place. Lunch was another nice part of the experience. It was great to enjoy a traditional Brazilian BBQ meal while in Rio. The meats were especially good, and there was a surprisingly large selection of additional items available at the “salad” buffet. One thing to be mindful of when planning your day is the overall tour length. The tour is advertised as approximately 8 hours, but because we were the first guests picked up and the last guests dropped off, our total time was closer to 12 hours. It is definitely a full-day experience, so I would avoid making firm plans for immediately afterward. Our only real disappointment was that we were supposed to make a stop outside the stadium, which we had been looking forward to. It ultimately became a drive-by rather than an actual stop, presumably because some members of the group spent additional time at an earlier location. It was a minor disappointment in an otherwise excellent day, but worth mentioning if that particular stop is important to you. Overall, we highly recommend this tour. It was well organized, thoughtfully paced, and an excellent way to experience several of Rio’s most iconic sights in one day. Jal made an already great experience even better, and we would absolutely recommend touring with him!
