WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
After the pick-up we will start the tour from Copacabana Beach, one of the most famous beach in the world.
2.
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).
3.
The official residence of the State Governor
4.
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.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
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.
8.
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”
9.
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.
10.
Separated from its more famous neighbour, Ipanema, by a narrow canal, Leblon is one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Rio, and accommodation here comes at a price.

Peter was a fantastic guide and did great with my kids as well. Andrea got us around the city easily. Both the Cristo & Sugar loaf are definitely worth the visit.

Experience of a lifetime - seeing Christ the Redeemer up front and personal! It was a beautiful experience, and it didn’t hurt that we had bright blue skies that gave us an amazing view of Rio! Our guide Monica was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of background on the history of Rio, the statue, and guided us up Sugarloaf Mountain. Great half-day experience, and an easy way to see both the Redeemer and Sugarloaf!

Monica was our guide and she was absolutely amazing. She gave us detailed historic info throughout the entire trip. The morning session had less traffic and every stage of the tour was very timely. The views of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain were breathtaking. If you’re thinking about this tour, book it asap. You won’t regret it.

Monica was absolutely outstanding. She kept in touch with us the night before to confirm the hotel pick up. They came to pick us up punctually on time. During the drive, she kept us engaged on facts about Rio and its history. She gave us just the right amount of time to explore during the visits of both landmarks. She also told us other facts about the city’s development, social fabric and history of the favelas. Her English was perfect (she is clearly an expert multilingual polyglot!). Book this tour! You will not be disappointed!it far exceeded my expectation! Thank you Monica!

it was a amazing tour with a very friendly guide.
we have really enjoyed the trip and for us it was like a family trip, we also get a lot informationen about the city and the history of rio de janeiro.
our guide Meilin was so beutiful to us and speek perfect english, for the german people i can also recommend because she speek a little bit german but also if you didn‘t understand english she speeks slow and try the best to clarify all questions.
She take also a lot of time to make pictures from you and when you make picturs from you girfriend/ friend shy try to tell all the a other guys to go away that you can make the perfect Photo from the sugarluf or the Christo Redemtor.
I can defently say the early excess in the morning is the best time to make this trip, because there a not so much people on this place.

Meilin it was a plessure to make this tour with you and we wish you all the best.

Michael & Vanessa
