Live the best possible experience in Rio de Janeiro with a local tour guide and a private driver. During this 8 hours tour, you can either follow my recommendations or personalize your tour based on your own interests. My recommendation is for sure to start by visiting the greatest sightseeing of the city: the unmistakable Christ Statue at the Corcovado Mountain and, at the opposite side, the wonderful Sugar Loaf Mountain (tickets not included). However, Rio has so much more to offer. Here are some options that might interest you: • Tour at the backstage of Carnaval: get to see the creation of the costumes and floats for the next Carnaval. • Visit the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro, inspired by the Mayan Pyramids. • Visit the unique Selarón steps, covered with more than 2.000 tiles from more than 60 countries. • Have a calm and chill picnic at the TIjuca Forest amidst animals and waterfalls. • Visit the Historical Downtown. • And much more…

Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves

Alyssa_L, Jul 2026

Perfect escape from busy Rio

A perfect escape from the hustle of Rio’s city and beaches. I booked this last minute walking tour for my final day in Rio. I’m so glad I did. Lucas, my guide was the great! He was enthusiastic, welcoming and very knowledgeable about the native flora and fauna of the rainforest. Our driver was nice and safe as well. The van was clean and comfortable. The Tijuca rainforest was stunning. We saw some animals hiding in their natural habitat as well as native berries and medicinal foliage. It was such a peaceful afternoon. The cherry on top was the surprise final stop on the drive back to see the sunset glow with the mountains. Absolutely amazing. Thank you Lucas for a great tour of the rainforest!

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

Conor_P, Jul 2026

Our tour guide, Kiko, was...

Our tour guide, Kiko, was perfect for seeing both Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. He mixed in history about both Rio and the sites while giving us time to explore each on our own. Would recommend Kiko and this tour for all future travelers to Rio!

Half-Day Tour: Christ the Redeemer, Selarón & Sunset at Sugarloaf

Jazmin_N, Jul 2026

The tour was great!...

The tour was great! Thalyta was a really good guide and super impressive. She had to conduct the tour in Spanish, English and Portuguese, and honestly no information was missed! She was able to tell us about all the things passing by in enough time to see them and understand. For the tour itself, it was more self-guided. She would give you a set amount of time and you were free to explore the space as necessary. We did only wish we had more time to take in and appreciate the Christ the Redeemer, but only felt that way because navigating around the high volume of people was difficult. Otherwise, we still got to see it, take awesome pictures, and walk around. The van was very comfy, and the time allotted for each place was very good. We spent about 30 minutes at the Seralon steps, which was enough time to walk the steps, take pictures and even get a drink! We got lucky it was during the week, so not many people were there. The sugar loaf cable cars are also super cool! You have to ride the cars a total of 5 times, and time you get to the top to watch the sunset it’s worth it! Everything was very prompt, and we had a lot of fun and learned a lot. It was one of our favorite touring days.

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

William_D, Jul 2026

Top of the World!

Eduardo was an amazing guide, taking time to educate me on the foilage and wildlife throughout the tour. He maintained situational awareness for safety and differences in physical limitations of everyone within the group and adjusted the pace accordingly. He is an amazing photographer and picked the perfect locations and set the stage for capturing indelible memories. I recommend this tour for anyone wants to get a snapshot of Brazil's great biodiversity and amazing views from the top, in a short span of time. This tour is the perfect length for those limited on time.

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

Brandy_D, Jul 2026

This one is a must do

If I could have done only one tour in Brazil this was the one to do. I am glad I did the full day tour even though I wasn’t a fan of the salty lunch. The rest was perfect and our guide Marco was awesome. He spoke Spanish and English and made sure everyone understood and showed us how to take the right photos. The driver was nice. I loved this tour

3 Hour Rocinha Favela Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Simon_M, Jun 2026

A great tour to see the other side of Rio!

Martin was a gem of a guide, navigating conversations in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese to meet the needs of a diverse group. He helped us safely navigate the favela, took us to great vantage points and through tight alleyways. We got to interact with some residents, play some soccer, meet some artists, and come to appreciate all that the favelas are, while also learning about how they operate and their history. Thanks for a wonderful, eye-opening tour, Martin!

Rio de Janeiro Sunset Sailing Tour with Drinks

Julie_M, Jun 2026

What a lovely few hours on Rio Bay

What a wonderful and relaxing way to pass 3 hours,. The yacht is not luxurious but it’s well fitted out and our host Clarissa and the Skipper were fantastic. We circumnavigated. All of Rio Bay and Clarisse was the perfect hostess- warm and friendly and serving us drinks and food and generally making us feel at home and relaxed as she played lovely music for us and then when it got a bit cold she brought us all blankets. I highly recommend this activity.

The_M, Jun 2026

Perfect Customized Rio Tour with an Amazing Guide

We had a wonderful experience touring Rio with Isaac! He customized the day around exactly what we wanted, including Christ the Redeemer, lunch by the bay, and beautiful stops throughout the city. When my husband wasn’t feeling well, Isaac was incredibly flexible and even helped us make an impromptu pharmacy stop, translating for us and adjusting the itinerary with ease. We felt safe, cared for, and never rushed. We enjoyed the tour so much that we would absolutely book with Isaac again when we return to Rio. Highly recommend!

Hang Gliding or Paragliding Package experience in Rio

Leilani_H, May 2026

Gliding in Brazil

Ricardo and Rubén are true experts. Once you get there Ricardo explains the process and drives you to the top of the location where you will take off. It was very quick and easy. The landing was smooth. My sister did hand gliding and I did paragliding. Keep in my there is a weight limit for hand gliding. If this is a concern for you ask beforehand. Another thing to be mindful of is there is a fee of 135R for insurance plus another 220-330R for the video. The video is NOT included in the price. In total for each person the activity came out to around $330+(1655R). Overall the price is worth it because safety is very important.

Roxy Dinner Show - Dinner & Show

Jonathan_B, Apr 2026

Amazing Experience

The Roxy Dinner Show was an incredible experience. Fine dining and a spectacular show let us experience an entirely different side of Rio. When we arrived, we were greeted by a photographer for a pre-show photo. We were then escorted to our seat right in front of the stage. The service is on the level of what you expect at any Michelin level restaurant. Dinner was a three course meal and you could choose from different options on the menu. I chose the salad, filet mignon, and chocolate dessert. Each course tasted delightful. The show was fantastic. The show highlights the cultural history and different areas of Brazil. 10/10 show. After the show, we were able to do a meet and greet with some of the performers and take photos with them. I definitely recommend adding this to any itinerary for Rio

Rio : Helicopter tour at Christ the Redeemer - 30 minutes

Brian_L, Feb 2026

Best Helicopter

Took a helicopter ride with Helicopter Rio de Janeiro, and it was a great experience. The helicopter was clean, the pilot was professional, and the staff was friendly and courteous. Karine, one of the managers, was especially great—very helpful and welcoming. Flying up to Christ the Redeemer and along the coastline of Rio de Janeiro was unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re in Rio.
