THE BEST OF RIO
TOUR INFORMATION
Our Private Tour will begin by visiting the city’s main postcard, Christ the Redeemer, elected in 2007 as one of the new seven wonders of the modern world. The monument is located at the top of Corcovado Mountain, at 710 meters of altitude. There we understand why the city of Rio de Janeiro has the title of “wonderful city”!
We will visit the monument and icon of Rio de Janeiro, Selaron Steps. The gigantic mosaic is the work of the Chilean artist Jorge Selaron, a real trip around the world! Among the more than 6,000 pieces that make up his design, there are tiles from over 140 countries, many of them presented to the artist by tourists and fans of the work. Located between Lapa and Santa Teresa, we also see the popularly known as Lapa Arches, the Aqueduto da Carioca, considered the most important architectural work in Rio Antigo and one of the main symbols of the city.
You will visit Rio de Janeiro “Montmartre” in the Santa Teresa neighborhood. It takes this title due to the large number of artists who have a studio and reside in the place, a cultural excitement.
Visiting the Olympic Boulevard is enjoying the newest attractive area in Rio. Spacious, modern and with a fantastic view of Guanabara Bay. This Location was redesigned for the 2016 Olympic Games. We will be visiting Praça Mauá, “the heart of the port area of Rio de Janeiro”. In its surroundings, we will see beautiful buildings, such as the Museum of Tomorrow, the Museum of Art of Rio (MAR) and the construction of the first skyscraper in the country, the “A Noite” building. In addition, we will get to know the impressive work of Brazilian artist Eduardo Kobra, a mural measuring 3 thousand square meters, which represents the integrative spirit of the Olympic Games. A true message of peace and unity, this Mural “Ethnicities” – “We are all One”.
Finally, we will visit Sugarloaf Mountain and Morro da Urca, a very special place, a historical and touristic landmark for Brazil. A historic landmark, because at its feet, the City of São Sebastião in Rio de Janeiro was founded and touristic, because the inauguration of the Sugarloaf cable car in 1912, projected the name of Brazil abroad. It was the first installed in Brazil and the third in the world. An absolute success!

ADVANTAGES OF A PRIVATE TOUR
- Optimization of your time and money, visiting and staying in the places of interest, without delays from other tourists, which unfortunately happens in group tours.
- Private and exclusive tour guide.
- Exclusive transport, with total convenience. In a group tour, on the other hand, transport is shared and often crowded, putting your family and/or friends' health at risk (COVID19).
- More detailed explanation, being able to direct the information to the points of your interest and of your companions. Infinite number of questions are allowed, as this is an interpersonal relationship.
- There are no stops at pre-established restaurants and shops and tourist catchers.
- Flexible schedules, allowing you to get to places when they are empty. Unlike a group tour, visiting hours generally coincide with other tours, crowding out attractions.
- Custom-made itineraries to visit only the places you and your fellow travelers want.
- More time to take pictures, wander around and stay where you and your companions are most interested. Without having the hassle of tourists who are late, get lost and hinder the progress of your tour.
- Ride at your own pace and that of your fellow travelers. Stay where you and your fellow travelers are most interested.
