Full Day In Rio Christ Sugarloaf Selaron And Barbecue Lunch

My strongest recommendation is to request Cristiane specifically when booking your tour. Trust me, you will thank yourself for it! Having completed four tours, I can confidently say that she was in a league of her own. She made such a lasting impression that she became the highlight of my touring experience. Cristiane, thank you for your honesty, your wealth of knowledge, and for making my experience so special. You are a true gem, and any tour company would be fortunate to have someone like you on their team. You deserve recognition for the outstanding service you provide! Book with Cristiane. Ask for her by name. You won't regret it! 🌟👏

This was a well planned route and timeline for activities and lunch. Lucinda was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable and organized, and gave amazing recommendations for the duration of my trip. Perfect start to my vacation!

Our tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Leticia, was wonderful with incredibly multi-linguistic skills. Our drive, Paolo, artfully wove his way through the city and windy narrow roads. The tour was as advertised, and I felt I got a good value for the cost. The stops were organized and well scheduled. I felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. There is a fair bit of walking at some stops, and the built environment may be challenging for those with mobility concerns. Overall, I would definitely recommend this tour, particularly to solo travelers and women.

We toured with Luciana and she was absolutely amazing! She spoke 5 different languages (we were with a group that had several different languages involved and she translated very efficiently throughout the whole day)! She was also very personable, we shared a few laughs and personal stories with her etc. She made the excursions an even better experience for sure! The tour bus was a large, spacious 15 passenger van. The driver was great, we had a very great trip throughout the city of rio

Luciana was an amazing tour guide she was very knowledgeable and friendly even let us know about a fun party on the mountain we were able to stay for

Brilliant experience from start to finish. We were sent all the information 2 days before and picked up exactly on time. The tour guide Letecia was friendly and knowledgable. The day ran smoothly and the lunch was delicious, thank you!

Brilliant day from start to finish. Seeing all the main attractions was amazing and the lunch was delicious, much better than expected .

Try not to visit the Christo when it’s windy and raining. Ruins the experience. The Selaron Steps was beautiful and of course Sugarloaf mountain was breathtaking. Our tour guide, Vivian was amazing. She was very informative, was very warm and kept us all on schedule.

Good option if you have just one day in Rio or if the tickets for the attractions for individuals are already sold out.

Amazing guide, great locations and was happy altogether with the outcome of the tour 😀 food deal was a bit pricy but you can choose to oop out and go get your own which I did.

Great tour and a fantastic guide - Matheus - who was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the day. Enough time at each stop to experience the area, a delicious lunch - all in all a great day out.

great experience & guide! 10/10, would do it again.

Great experience and a really enjoyable itinerary. It was well organised and our guides were spot on. Started with Seleron steps, followed by Christ The Redeemer, then Sugarloaf mountain and finally a spot of lunch.

Our guide Olga is very nice and she can speak English and some Chinese which helps a lot for our group. The tour covers key attractions like Christ statue, Sugar loaf mountain, Metropolitan Cathedral and Selaron stairs in one day and the route is well planned. This is a excellent option if you only have 1 full day to explore Rio de Janeiro.

It was a good tour, when you have limited time in Rio. You can see the big atractions in one day! we liked it 👍

Very long 10 hour day. We booked the whole day with buffet lunch included. I would recommend taking snacks because we left at 7am and we didn’t stop for lunch until almost 1pm. We only had about 45 minutes to eat.

Great way to see all main sites in one day. Enough time at each site. Lunch was good but optional drinks expensive

It was a very comprehensive tour, our guide was wonderful, the lunch was fabulous. Highly recommend.

The hotel pickup and drop off made this tour easy and convenient as did including the lunch. Thanks to Sandra for being a great tour guide and intruding us to some of the city's highlights and even helping us with getting great photos and video.

This was a great way to see all the sites. The lunch was just ok. The tour guides are knowledgeable.

Sandra led us on an interesting and fact-filled trip. The transfers were easy, and we didn’t really wait in line at any of the stops. Highly recommended. Note: the visit to Christ the redeemer is via van, not train.

The tour was very good and we saw quite a lot of the key sights in Rio. The weather was pretty bad, which was disappointing. As a result, we could spent a shorter time at both main locations especially Sugar Loaf Mountain on the way down. The tour is quite expensive but a high quality lunch was included plus entry fees. Viviane was a very good and patient tour guide. One suggestion would be too include some history about the establishment and development of Rio over the centuries.

I booked my trip without lunch and Sugarloaf. The trip was going to start at 7 am, so they picked me up at 5:20 am, which is very early. No stoppage for breakfast. Then they did not take us to Chirt the Redeemer as they said it is closed because of land slide. Then the trip was almost over by 10:30 am, so they made us take tickets to Sugarloaf, which was not the plan. And the tour ended at 12 noon. I was not expecting this. I need a refund for Christ Redeemer.

We had an excellent experience on this tour and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to see the major highlights of Rio! It was a great way to visit three of the city’s must-see attractions — Christ the Redeemer, Selarón Steps, and Sugarloaf Mountain — while also seeing several other sights along the way. We especially appreciated having all of our tickets and admissions arranged in advance, which made the experience easy and stress-free. Our tour guide, Jal, was phenomenal! He shared interesting and relevant information throughout the day, kept our group of about 19–20 people organized and on schedule, and was genuinely a joy to spend the day with. We also really appreciated that he spoke fluent English and Spanish in addition to Portuguese, which was a huge benefit for such a diverse group. We were extremely lucky with the weather, particularly at Christ the Redeemer. Since we were among the first pickups of the morning, we arrived at the Visitor Center around 7 a.m., when it was surprisingly chilly — especially being in the rainforest! By the time we made our way up to the statue around 8 a.m., however, it had warmed up considerably. We had great visibility at Christ the Redeemer and beautiful weather for the remainder of the day. The itinerary was also paced very well. We had a good amount of time at each of the major stops, so we never felt overly rushed, but we also never felt like we were spending too much time in one place. Lunch was another nice part of the experience. It was great to enjoy a traditional Brazilian BBQ meal while in Rio. The meats were especially good, and there was a surprisingly large selection of additional items available at the “salad” buffet. One thing to be mindful of when planning your day is the overall tour length. The tour is advertised as approximately 8 hours, but because we were the first guests picked up and the last guests dropped off, our total time was closer to 12 hours. It is definitely a full-day experience, so I would avoid making firm plans for immediately afterward. Our only real disappointment was that we were supposed to make a stop outside the stadium, which we had been looking forward to. It ultimately became a drive-by rather than an actual stop, presumably because some members of the group spent additional time at an earlier location. It was a minor disappointment in an otherwise excellent day, but worth mentioning if that particular stop is important to you. Overall, we highly recommend this tour. It was well organized, thoughtfully paced, and an excellent way to experience several of Rio’s most iconic sights in one day. Jal made an already great experience even better, and we would absolutely recommend touring with him!

Hotel pickup timing is ridiculous….1 or 2 minutes scheduled between hotels and that’s impossible, so we waited for 15 mins and started about 30 mins late. Didn’t ruin day, just be prepared for this. Rest of tour and day great. Driver and guide wonderful.

We were at the statue very early so we couldn't see the statue or the beautiful views. Disappointment The stairs were overcrowded, didn't bother and to go up the stairs. Lunch was okay If you can choose a nice sunny day and not first thing in the morning I believe it would be better. We had to move out date due to the flight canceling, the day we had previously would have been a perfect day.

Our tour guide Luciana was very knowledgeable about the history of Brazil. Her context made the tour very easy and clear to understand. We went during an overcast day which made the views sugarloaf mountain moot. Overall, it was a good tour.

Had a great time. Good group. Plenty of time to see the sights and get all the photos we needed. Admissions all taken care of and the guide made sure to give clear instructions for meet ups to keep time. Crowds were bad at the Selaron steps but this was to be expected.

The trip was very nice. However, as part of the full price, $160, lunch was going to be covered. Unfortunately, we all had to pay for our lunch. This is fraudulent in the price. I want everyone to know. The costs that I paid for the lunch will be disputed with my bank. You can’t do people like that and think it is okay.

Great experience. Sandra is a great guide. We saw all the main attractions and it was very easy with the shuttle and the tickets. There is a lot of lines though so be ready to walk and stand.

It says Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf and Selaron Steps. However we spent time driving around the city. A drive by of the parade route for Carnival, drive by of Marcana stadium and 10 minutes at a cathedral. The tours of the big three were not enhanced by having a guide or by going on a tour. Same long lines as everyone else. Would have been a lot cheaper to uber to the venues and do it ourselves.

Nice trip we got to see the most important places the guide was good in English lot of trafikk so it tok a long time

A must see tour! All the main sightseeing points were included and we had enough time to get up close and take photographs. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and imparted lots of information.

Company was exceptional!!I miss the pick up and I was able to meet the group. They made sure I had tickets to return on my own to the part I missed.The tour guide was amazing and me and my children loved this tour!Ifvypu want to see a little of everything this is for you!!!!!

I had an amazing time & would book this again! Definitely include the lunch in your booking, it was good

Be outside your hotel before your pickup time. Our tour started 45 minutes late because several people were late to get out of their hotel. Also be sure your tour guide is aware of you have to depart the group such as for the restroom. We had to wait several times to locate missing guests.

Experience was pleasant and informative

Absolutely an exceptional experience from start to finish! The Iguazú Falls tour covering both the Brazilian and Argentine sides was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were simply breathtaking. Seeing the falls from both sides gave us completely different perspectives, and each was spectacular in its own way. The power and beauty of the waterfalls were something we will never forget. A special mention must go to our guide, **Henrique**, who was absolutely excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire day. He made sure everything went smoothly, guided us through the different areas, and shared interesting information along the way. His attention to detail and warm personality really made the experience even more special. The organisation was also excellent, and we never felt lost or rushed despite visiting two countries in one day. If you are planning to visit Iguazú Falls, I would highly recommend doing both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. And if you are lucky enough to have Henrique as your guide, you are in for an especially memorable experience! An unforgettable day and truly one of the best experiences of our trip. Thank you, Henrique, for making it so special!

Good day out seeing highlights of Rio. Go hungry, there is a lot of lunch. Flavoo was a very competent guide

The tour does gives a quick walkthrough of the classic highlights, which is great, and the lunch was really good. What I did not like was that the trip was guided in multiple languages and that makes it really boring and scripted. The guide needs to do all the jokes and facts in multiple languages and it all feels flat. Also we sat back in the bus and could se much out of the windows because we where elevated and the windows are low. Last point is the super annoying booking AI that spams you with 5-6 messages before the trip. «Are you ready for your trip in a few hours?» was sendt over a day before, so I was panicking and thought I had booked the wrong day.

Thalyta was an incredible tour guide. I have to start by stating that. The all day tour was a great experience from beginning to end. There was so much we did and I didn’t want it to end! Had a great group of people which made the tour that much more enjoyable for a solo traveler

This tour was a nice overview of the top tourist spots in Rio. Our group size was manageable, but having 3 different translations during the tour wasn't ideal. There wasn't a lot of opportunity for questions due to the set-up for this particular tour. If you are looking for a basic level tour of Rio, lots of activities and informative, this is for you.

I just want to say thank you to our guide Zeni, super nice and friendly lady. She gave us all enough time to walk/explore around. We had our 2 young kids with us and Zeni was extremely supportive and friendly with them. I spent another extra day in another tour with Zeni and, Even though we had to deal with some unexpected events, Zeni did her best to make sure that the tour was going smoothly and safely. Thank you Zeni!

The tour was great and our tour guide Leticia was the greatest. She was very helpful, knowledgeable, respectful, reliable, attentive, and very kind. I definitely would book an event with her again.

It definitely checks the boxes on seeing the sites, but our guide was terrible and non interactive. I kept wishing I was on another tour with one of the friendly and cool guides! Fortunately, I had nice people on the tour, which made it fun! Do not recommend touring with Matheus

Excellent way to see the major tourist attractions in Rio in 1 day. Very nicely spaced out and organized. Tour guide and driver were great. Highly recommended.

Cover the major landmarks, guide was very knowledgeable and very efficient with the expedition! 10/10 would recommend

Absolutely great! First time in Rio and we were so glad to have booked this tour!

We had a wonderful experience! Our tour guide, Publio, was amazing! Door-to-door service with an exceptional driver! We got to every destination that was advertised. We definitely got our money's worth with this tour!
