Full description

Start your adventure with a pickup in the morning from hotels located in the South Zone and head towards your first stop at Christ the Redeemer. 

 

Enjoy great jungle views in the minivan ride through the Tijuca Forest that surrounds the Corcovado Mountain. Reach the peak of the mountain and meet the statue of the Christ the Redeemer with its arms right open over the city. Admire the sweeping views and take breathtaking pictures.

 

Head to a nice walk outside the Maracanã Stadium and find out more about the passion of the Brazilians for football. Learn about the samba tradition in Rio by visiting the Sambadrome, the place with the biggest Carnival parade on the planet.

 

Marvel at the beautiful street art of the Selarón Steps, a gigantic mosaic work of the Chilean artist Jorge Selarón. He started dedicating himself to decorate the stairs in the early 90s. The 250 steps have become a monument and an icon of Rio.

 

Stop at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro to revel at the biblical passages on the stained-glass inside it, following a stop for lunch in an all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant. With the batteries recharged, there is still one place left. 

 

Head to Urca neighborhood and marvel at the beauty of the Sugarloaf Mountain and be amazed by the cable ride to the top. From 220 meters above sea level take in the breathtaking 360-degree view of Rio de Janeiro, Guanabara Bay, the city of Niteroi, and the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Limited pickup points but fairly well spaced. Guide well organised though hampered by one guest always going missing! Dual language tour not the best as tended to converse more readily in home language which is understandable but not very helpful to visitors. The main sites were all visited and organised well missing all the queues. Three quarters of the tour day spent in the minivan, not ideal but achieved most of what Rio had on offer. Make sure you check the weather in advance and move your dates if cloudy as you’ll definitely miss the best bits. And be prepared for crowds and Prima Donnas wanting to hog the best view points for photo shoots. Lunch included in this tour was buffet style all you can eat and quite good but beware it’s only the buffet, drinks and desserts are extra. Takes the effort out of planning the main attractions and fighting queues so worth the cost, just not the best for information if that’s what you like. That’s down to the strength of the guide’s language.

Trip great, ran to time efficient pick up. Lunch was a buffet and this was really amazing giving lots of choice to everyone. Had to chase information the day before as had not received anything. Get your guide very efficient in getting a reply from operator.

It’s a nice way to see many of the ‘must see’ attractions of Rio in one single day. Very well organized and great deal! Don’t expect to receive many historical info about the city or location, I guess as the group is very big, our guide didn’t really elaborate on the locations /history. But recommend for a first great city overview!!
