About this activity

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…
