Visiting Rio its a must! What a incredible place with this amazing energy and great vibe. I had this tour that show us a bit of the city and some historical places. The Tour guide Marleide was incredible. What amazing and fun woman, was great to be around her, I had a great time. Besides that she was amazing with local tips and other places that do not have tour or guides. The driver Guilherme was also very nice and really fun to around also.

From the top of Corcovado Hill, you will be able to admire the statue of Christ the Redeemer, 38 m high and made of reinforced concrete coated in a mosaic of thousands of triangular soapstone tablets, and you will also have the opportunity to appreciate some of the most beautiful views of the city.
Ride the cable car up into the mountains for stunning views of the city and coast. Cable car ride in two parts, the first to Morro da Urca and the second to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. Visiting Pão de Açúcar, Rio de Janeiro, is to see up close one of the main postcards of the Marvelous City and of Brazil, which offers a privileged 360 degree view of the famous Guanabara Bay.
External visit with stop in front of the Bellini statue. The tour begins with a visit to the Maracanã stadium (outside only), where we will stop to take photos at the statue of Bellini, a famous captain who led the Brazilian football team to win the 1958 World Cup. Entrance not included.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro and the new Cathedral or main church of the City. It was inaugurated in 1976, when it replaced the Igreja do Carmo or the old Cathedral in Praça XV de Novembro. Photo stop and inside tour
We will go to the Sambódromo, the site of the main Carnival parade in the city. We'll stop to take some photos and try on the famous samba school costumes used during Carnival.
We will visit the Escadaria Selarón, a colorfully tiled staircase, the work of Chilean self-taught artist Jorge Selarón. Having traveled the world, Selarón moved to Rio in 1983, in a small house right in front of the deserted staircase that connected the areas of Lapa and Santa Teresa. 215 steps that were covered with tiles collected in urban areas of Rio or donated by visitors from all over the world. Since 1990, Selarón has collected more than 2,000 pieces, mostly red: unique pieces that represent a "tribute to the Brazilian people".
The Carioca Aqueduct is located downtown, in the Lapa neighborhood, and is often called Arcos da Lapa by Brazilians. Since the end of the 19th century, the aqueduct has served as a bridge for the popular tram that connects the city center to the Santa Teresa neighborhood, the Santa Teresa tram
Pass through the Tijuca Forest on the way to Christ the Redeemer. Tijuca Forest is a tropical forest in the city of Rio de Janeiro, covering an area of approximately 32 km². The tour will reach Tijuca Forest with a stop at Paineiras to board official National Park Authority vehicles, to reach the top of Corcovado Hill, where the Christ the Redeemer statue is located.

Hello Ana! The City Tour in Rio de Janeiro was a captivating experience, largely thanks to our guide, "Mini Guia" Roberto. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly demeanor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the journey. Roberto's anecdotes and insights about the city's landmarks, such as Christ The Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the iconic Celaron Steps, truly enhanced the tour. However, a slight drawback was the timing. I felt that if we had started the tour a bit earlier, it would have allowed for a more leisurely exploration of the main attractions. Spending an additional 10 minutes at each landmark, especially the aforementioned iconic spots, would have been ideal. The desire for more time at these key locations stems from their significance and the wish to absorb the breathtaking views and cultural richness they offer fully. Despite this minor concern, the overall experience deserves a commendable 4/5 rating. The beauty of Rio de Janeiro and its landmarks is undeniable, and the tour provided valuable insights into the city's history and culture. Roberto, however, goes above and beyond. His passion for the city and commitment to making the tour memorable exceeded expectations, earning him a stellar 6/5 rating. His personal touch transformed the tour into an unforgettable adventure. The food? 3/5. Overcrowded buffet… at the end of a very long 8 hr day. We are lunch at 2:30p while we started the day at 07:30! Thanks.
honestly the tour was amazing ,my daughter and I are really happy on how it was well organised and ran very smoothly, it was a shame that we couldn’t go to seleron stairs but I can understand why, being in the middle of carnival season. Richard the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history and very professional
It was so beautiful we took a lot of pics the food was good the Christ redeemer was the best for me Sugarloaf and the awesome stairs let's not forget the carnival it was so beautiful also the beaches were nice let's not forget the the most popular drinkCaipirinha
I am immensely grateful for the incredible city tour in Rio! The experience was truly marvelous, filled with breathtaking sights and a deep dive into the rich culture of this vibrant city. Kudos to the guide @Marinho for making it informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
Our tour was amazing. You were so welcoming and made our time worth it. You were clear in sharing the history of every site we visited and I am still sharing facts about Rio to my family from the tour ! I highly recommend this tour and especially with our tour guide Ana
Our guide Louis was very competent with good knowledge of the history of the city. He shared a lot of interesting facts about Rio de Janeiro with us. His English is excellent and we felt very comfortable with his guidance. He answered all our questions.
Carols was a Great tour guide and the Rio full day trip was Great. We really enjoyed the tour and had a Great time and the food was Great for lunch!😊👌
Excellent Tour guide, he was very profesional. Spent time to pick up and drop off, guests from different hotels took too much time, around one hour per trip. The restaurant choice for lunch, it was horrible, and cheap. Terrible service and very poor meal quality.
To begin with the time of pick up in the hotel was 8am the tour guide show up around 9am, yes meanwhile she sent me an email saying she will be late and the arrival should be at 8h40, ok but in holydays Im not seeing the emails in the computer. Meanwhile the hotel reception tried to contact the tour operator Thiago Lemos but the phone was out of zone. Than I have asked a tour guide in portuguese and she spoke in Spanish. Well the tour guide was really of very low grade she didnt explain anything just took us to the places and told us the time we should meet at a place to return. In previous tours I made in other countries with Viator the tour guides were very good and they bought the entry tickets before hand so we didnt have to wait longtime for entering not in this tour. Finnally the restaurant was unacceptable, to crowded food no good and very bad restrooms not enough for a very crowded restaurant not clean, smelling bad. Well terrible experience.
I would recommend Thiago's tour to anyone, 100%. Save time, stop looking, and book this one. The guide was great, and the tour was amazing. In just one day, they show you so much! Lunch was great as well. They will pick you up from your hotel. Thanks for an excellent day. Well done!

Pros: good day full of activities, got to see many things, lunch buffet was good. Going to sugarloaf at sunset was the highlight of the trip, it was so beautiful - highly recommend. Cons: a lot of waiting around, we got picked up at 8am but because we had to pick up other people and wait for others it wasn’t until 12 that we actually started the tour. Because of the waiting, we didn’t get to go to Maracena as we ran out of time. Our tour guide was very funny but we didn’t get any of the jokes because he kept forgetting to translate to English (and everyone else spoke Portuguese). Overall he did a good job but some improvements required.
The whole tour was fantastic. Transport was well organised. The guide does an excellent job. Great lunch

A full day that met our expectations. Carlos speaks about his region with passion and great knowledge. We sometimes would have taken more time in certain places but the day passed at a good pace. I recommend this activity to get to know the main points of the city!

Christ the Redeemer, the cathedral of São Sebastião in Rio de Janeiro and the Sugar Loaf Cable Car, rated 10. The visit to Maracanã and the sambadrome only outside.
The experience with Rio Passeios was great, the explanations about the context of each place were great, like the lapa stairs for example, I recommend it!
