About this activity

Embark on this tailor-made tour and visit Rio de Janeiro's top landmarks and highlights. It is an 8-hour city tour with a private guide in a private vehicle to take you to the Christ the Redeemer and the Sugarloaf Mountain.

For the Christ the Redeemer, we go through the Tijuca Forest and stop at the Visitor's Center inside the Paineiras. This is the place to take the minivan from the Corcovado to get to the Christ. We drive to the top of the Corcovado hill to reach that famous attraction and have sweeping views of our city.

For the Sugar Loaf, we take the cable car ride to the top of the mountain.

Buffet lunch is also included. Then, you decide the other places you want to visit in the remaining hours. Either way, the tickets to the two main attractions of our city are already included in this tour for you.

Private tour guide, tickets to the Christ the Redeemer and the Sugarloaf, Buffet lunch and round-trip transportation are included.
