    After the pick-up we will start the tour from Copacabana Beach, one of the most famous beach in the world.

  • Botafogo Beach (Pass By)

    Botafogo is a beachfront neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro. It is a mostly upper middle class and small commerce community, and is located between the hills of Mundo Novo, Dona Marta (which separates it from Laranjeiras) and São João (which separates it from Copacabana).

  • Guanabara Palace (Pass By)

  • Parque Nacional da Tijuca (Pass By)

    The Tijuca Forest (Portuguese: Floresta da Tijuca) is a tropical rainforest in the city of Rio de Janeiro covering an area of roughly 32 km² (12.4 mi²). The tour will reach Tijuca Forest with a stop at Paineiras to board the official vehicles of the National Park Authority to be able to reach the top of the Corcovado Hill where The Christ The Redeemer Statue is located.

  • Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer

    From the top of Corcovado Hill you will be able to admire The Christ of the Redeemer statue, which has 38m in height and was made of reinforced concrete clad in a mosaic of thousands of triangular soapstone tiles, and also will have a chance to see some of the most beautiful views of the city.

    45 minutes

  • Mirante Dona Marta

    Only in case of poor visibility on the summit of the Corcovado, we will make an alternative stop at Mirante Dona Marta which offers one of the most incredible views of the city, guaranteeing the title of one of the most visited tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro. From there, you can see the Sugar Loaf Mountain, the Cristo Redentor, the Maracanã, the Guanabara Bay and the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon.

    25 minutes

  • Boticario Square (Pass By)

    The Largo do Boticário (Apothecary's Square) is a square in the Cosme Velho neighbourhood of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The area is characterised by large, neo-colonial houses and Atlantic Forest vegetation.

  • Sugarloaf Mountain

    We will travel to the top in two steps by cable car. The first will take you to Urca Hill, at the height of 220 meters above sea level where you already will have great views from Baia de Guanabara. From there, after enjoying the views for a bit, will take the second cable car all the way to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain, 396 meters above sea level. From up there, you will have a chance to see the most breathtaking views of Rio de Janeiro and will definitely understand why everyone says that Rio is “The wonderful city”

    30 minutes

    Ipanema is a neighborhood located in the South Zone, between Leblon and Arpoador. The beach at Ipanema became known internationally with the popularity of the bossa nova jazz song, "The Girl from Ipanema" ("Garota de Ipanema"), written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes.

Great Rio experience

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide was Lu and she was lovely! kind, informative, and organized. The trip ran smoothly from start to finish. Easy transportation between locations in comfortable air conditioned vans. Christ the Redeemer is incredible and sugarloaf has wonderful views of copacaba and Botofogo.

Christ the Redeemer + Sugarloaf Tour with Sabina as guide

Published on Mar, 2025

It was an amazing very well organized tour and the tour guide Sabina was absolutely terrific. She was timely, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. You could tell time was spent with preparation and my family had quite a great time out with the tour group!

You wont regret booking!

Published on Mar, 2025

Well run tour and well worth the money - Christ The Redeemer lived up to the hype and Sugar Loaf Mountain was an awesome bonus - Peter was a knowledgeable tour guide and went the extra mile to find us at the beginning of the tour and bring us to the van as well as patiently taking the time to make sure our group got the best pictures/angles as possible at CTR - so glad I booked this excursion!
