Highlights
This will be a private tour for yourself and your group to enjoy a special day visiting some of the most beautiful sites in Rio. If you have already visited any of the 'must-see' sites (Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, and Selaron Steps), we can easily tailor the tour to accommodate your needs and preferences. We suggest leaving by 8 am to avoid the queues, but the start time is entirely up to you! we can pick you up from your hotel in Rio, or meet at our meeting point in Copacabana. The tour can be done in Portuguese, English, or Spanish, and we will share lots of information about our history, Carioca culture, and lifestyle, so you’ll leave knowing more about this wonderful city and the people that make it so special. I'll also share several tips about Rio, so you don’t miss out on all the great things to experience and visit during your stay here.

Itinerary
First, we will visit one of the seven wonders of the world, Christ the Redeemer - and arguably the best view in Rio. We will reach the top of Corcovado by train and spend approximately 40 minutes there (note: train tickets and entry are not included, but with me, you can skip the line!) The time estimate includes travel time.
Next, we will head down to the Sugar Loaf, the second most visited site in Rio. We will hop on the oldest working cable car in the world and enjoy the beautiful view from above. The time estimate includes travel time.
The last stop of our tour will be the third most visited site in Rio, the Selaron steps, featuring the 2,000 ceramic tiles collected by the incredible Jorge Selaron during the course of his life. The time estimate includes travel time.
We will drive by the cathedral, so you will get a nice view of the building. Depending on traffic, we can decide to stop for a few minutes for photos and a bit of history!

About Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro sweeps between mountains and ocean, a city of famous beaches, granite peaks, samba rhythms and a carnival known around the world.
Christ the Redeemer stands with open arms atop Corcovado, looking down on the city, and cable cars climb Sugarloaf Mountain for views across Guanabara Bay. Below, the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema are the stage for daily life, with volleyball, kiosks and the wave-patterned promenade, while Leblon and Arpoador extend the strip.
Top-ranked sights in Rio de Janeiro: Christ the Redeemer Statue (Cristo Redentor), Sugarloaf Mountain (Pao de Açúcar), Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón).
