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.

If I (try to) forget the rain that almost didn't stop, the rest was above my expectation. In one go, we've managed to see most interesting places in Rio. The guide was positive and joyful guy, willing to explain whatever asked related to tour. This tour worth every penny spent. I would recommend it for certain.

Really good guide -- Daniel kept our energy up and shared his own stories. It's nice to skip the line at many of the attractions, but this is not so much of tour (there's not a lot of explaining or history.) In most of the areas, you are dropped off, given tickets, and then you have free time to take photos and wander. You could probably do all these for cheaper with Uber.

Everything was ok. I really appreciate the assistance of guide and driver. But unfortunately, I expected we will visti Maracana stadium. For some reason, we didn’t visit. It was the main disadvantage for me. I supposed to check main places in one visit. But I couldn’t reach my plan. That’s why I have to book another trip to go to Maracana(((
