WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Copacabana Beach
We are going to pass by several points of interest along the way, including Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Maracanã Stadium (outside), and other sights.
2. Ipanema Beach
Ipanema beach inspired the composition of the famous song "Ipanema Girl”. Beautiful beach that deserves all the fame and admiration
3. Floresta da Tijuca
We get through one of the largest urban forests in the world. The Tijuca National Park gathers many attractions, such as the Pico da Tijuca, Pico do Papagaio and Cascatinha Taunay. The preserved Forest is visited by locals and tourists for the practice of sports, strolls and walks. Birds, native plants and fruitful trees compose the flora and the fauna of the Forest of the Tijuca.
4. Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer
Reaching the Christ, we'll take you with our tour vehicle from its base to nearly the summit. The very top is reached by climbing a flight of stairs to arrive at the iconic Christ the Redeemer Statue. The view, from this vantage point, with the surrounding Tijuca National Forest spreading below and a circle of mountains closing the horizon at the very back of the Guanabara bay is truly spectacular. After some time to walk around and take photos, we make the way back down.
5. Sambodromo da Marques de Sapucai
Venue for the Carnaval, the largest spectacle in the world. The Sambadrome is the epicenter of samba during the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Locals and tourists in the stadium watch as the top samba schools perform for the title along the avenue.
6.
The most important Brazilian football temple. It was stage for important football events like hosting the 1950 and 2014 football world-cup and the Olympic games of 2016.
7.
"All-you-can-eat” buffet restaurant (Stop for lunch that's included in the price).
8. Escadaria Selaron
From Santa Teresa to Lapa, there is the famous Selaron steps, a stairway decorated with colorful tiles. Known for its energetic bohemian vibe, “Lapa” is the most buzzing area in town day and nighttime.
9. Carioca Aqueduct
Have you ever heard of the Lapa neighborhood? If not, it should! It's very easy to know that you've arrived in Lapa. There is a famous monument that is the official image of Lapa, the large white arches aqueduct postcard of Rio.
10. Centro
We then drive through Rio’s downtown through some of the coolest touristic areas catching sights and culture.
11.
Known for sheltering the Sugarloaf Mountain and for the privileged view it offers to Guanabara Bay, Botafogo beach hides a little explored and pulsating alternative life with bars, restaurants and cultural centers.
12. Aterro Do Flamengo
Calm beaches close to Flamengo landfilled park with largest manmade park of the world, fully planted with tropical vegetation.
13. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro stands out among the buildings in the Center of the city. Its unique architecture catches the attention of everyone passing by and surprises those who visit it! Its appearance and history are unconventional and make it one of the most curious spots in the wonderful city!
14. Sugarloaf Mountain
We will then go up the Sugarloaf Mountain. A series of two cable cars will take you to the top of Sugar Loaf. At the top, again some of the most breathtaking views of Rio, this time from a different vantage point than at Corcovado.

We really appreciated the precise organization of the tour. Everything was planned in advance, with all tickets purchased ahead of time, so there were no lines. We didn’t have to wait anywhere or waste any time. Our guide, Gustavo, was friendly, informative, and professional. We also want to highlight the driver's work; he navigated our minibus through Rio's traffic very smoothly. The tour also included a nice buffet lunch with meat, various side dishes, and vegetables. We definitely recommend this tour to others, we like it💛

The weather didn't co-operate, so booked a tour for Saturday, doing the same thing that was $55 U.S. Dollars cheaper. Hopefully the weather will be good, so I can get my pictures. Our tour guide Camilla (the blonde lady) was very well versed and helped make the tour enjoyable, with her knowledge and wit. Looking forward to a clear dry experience.

Very good Tour of the Rio must see spots. Our guide Paz was very good at answering questions and her English was easy to understand.
We loved that we didn’t have to stand in line for attractions. We were able to skip the lines and get in faster. Well worth the price

This was a good tour. I am a history major so love to learn more about the area we are in when we book tours and this tour was very light on information. This made my other family members happy as they prefer to just relax. The stops were great and we really enjoyed Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf. The crowds were less on the day we were there, which was a bonus.

Lunch was buffet style with lots of options.

Good time and great group of people. The meeting point and pick up scheduling can be better organized but the tour was fun and overall the guide did a decent job.
