Itinerary
We visit to Corcovado Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue going through the Paineiras route. The 20-minute drive to the base of the statue takes you through the Tijuca Forest and gives you a preview of the landscapes ahead. The statue stands 710 meters tall and from this vantage point, you’ll have sweeping views of the city.
The cable car ride to the top of the mountain is done in 2 stages: begin at the boarding station to Urca Mountain (224 meters) and then from Urca Mountain to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain (395 meters).
Part of the Sugarloaf.
Located between the Sugarloaf Mountain and the Urca Mountain, the Praia Vermelha is a charming place.
Located in Santa Teresa, the Selarón Steps are famous for its bright and colourfull tiles.
The modern archtecture is very different from the traditional cathedrals we see out there. Enjoy the beautiful stained glasses and try to guess the biblical passages they got their inspiration from.
Football - or soccer, if you prefer - is part of the Brazilian life. We love to watch the games and share experiences with complete strangers that get together for one purpose: support their team on the field. The Maracanã Stadium is considered our temple and a sacred place for those who enjoy a great game. We can take pictures outside of the Stadium and share stories about our favorite matches.
See the Carnival temple, the place where the magic happens. The Sambadrome opens only during carnival time. But we get to see the place from the outside and hear stories about the biggest carnival in the world.
Barbecue restaurant located in Copacabana. Enjoy the traditional Brazilian barbecue.

Very rushed day tour with poor guide and no lunch was actually provided – watch out for this dangerous company as they are a scam artists…
Go and enjoy spectacular food and top service, ah and delicious drinks Thank you friends from #TAO.. we'll be back soon
Salve! Siamo molto felici di sapere che il vostro viaggio sia stato piacevole e che abbiate apprezzato il barbecue! Vi ringraziamo per la vostra recensione e speriamo di rivedervi presto per altri momenti deliziosi. Alla volta prossima!
Feb 2024 - The tour of the sights was very cool to see, with amazing views of the city! However I was disappointed that there was barely any mention of the African contribution to the foundations of Rio. You cannot talk about the history of Rio without talking about the African people! African people immensely contributed and built this beautiful city into what it is today! As each generation passes their blood, sweat and tears is continually overlooked from generation to generation. However as nature changes their stories will eventually be told.
Hello, We understand your point of view and will take it into consideration, but we have a tour entirely dedicated to this theme, called "Little Africa" (Pequena África). Perhaps it would be more suited to your interests! Anyway, thank you very much for your review, your suggestion and for choosing Rio Carioca Tours!
The whole tour a very nice experience, our guide is called Monica, excellent...!!!! Very responsible with your work, always watching over us
Our guide Monica Francesca Bertazzolo was very profesional. Every body was picked up on time, all the program went according to schedule, there was enough time at the sights. I would suggest 30 min at Selaron stairs would be better, so as to enjoy a Caipurinha and look closet to the tiles. Monica was impressive as she talked and explained everything în 3 languages, acc. to the group preferences, changing easily from one to the other. A big bravo!!
