Itinerary
Let's visit this nearly 90-year-old monument, with its stunning view already known even before the statue itself.
This viewpoint offers one of the best photo opportunities in all of Rio de Janeiro and is often overlooked by agencies as they avoid prolonged stops. Unmissable and highly Instagrammable.
EXCLUSIVE: This unique Rio de Janeiro neighborhood showcases its artistic talent to visitors, with numerous points of interest; because we travel in a 4x4, we explore exclusive corners and paths, avoided by vans.
An open-air work of art, with its vibrant colors. Because we were in a 4x4 vehicle, we accessed it from the top, making the visit more complete and comfortable.
A historic aqueduct from the mid-18th century that today serves as a bridge for the famous Santa Teresa tram.
In a modern style, conical shape, and founded in 1979, it enchants with its colorful stained glass windows and rich symbolism.
EXCLUSIVE: Whenever possible, I try to provide an overview and some details about the Historic Center of Rio de Janeiro, covering the arrival of the Portuguese Royal Family in 1808, the transformations of the capital at the beginning of the 20th century, and the phases of land reclamation until the move to Brasilia.
On our route, we will pass by this important landfill project, heading towards Sugarloaf Mountain.
On our exclusive tour, the route towards Sugarloaf Mountain goes through the beautiful cove that had Queen Carlota Joaquina as its first illustrious resident.
EXCLUSIVE: We visited hidden corners of this iconic neighborhood with breathtaking views and excellent photo opportunities, including the famous Urca seawall, a meeting point for illustrious residents.
At this point you decide: 1) whether you will stay for lunch and take the cable car* OR 2) whether you wish to return to the hotel OR 3) whether you want to go to another point of your preference. *If you choose to take the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car (R$185 per person), allow 2 to 3 hours, thus enjoying 3 distinct moments: the afternoon, sunset, and night. The area is very safe and well-policed, with a large supply of taxis/Uber, just 10 minutes from Copacabana.

Alvaro is excellent host, super recommended, this all the time worried that experience is unique and unforgettable would return a thousand times with him.
Mis queridos amigos Arturo y Erika, fue un gran placer disfrutar de este día en su compañía. Momentos inolvidables sin dudas
We had an overall great experience with Alvaro! It started way before the actual day trip. Alvaro took his time to explain everything in detail with many suggestions and links. On the day of the tour we were greeted by our accommodation and Alvaro took us on a great adventure. He had a few unexpected tricks for us and shared lots of history, information and insights about Rio and Brazil. We all enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it! Make sure to express your desires prior to the tour and see Alvaro in action!
Thank you so much, dear Anna! That`s the vibe, a big brother introducing a local POV includind places and flavors. Besides, you and your family are so kind, it was a great pleasure spending those moments with you 3. Best wishes!!!!
The best tour ever. So much fun but got to see some of the best beaches in the world. This tour was organised soo help. Highly recommend
What a wonderful feedback, it makes me feel like I`m really doing the right thing in my life since I decided to abandon the corporate world for this lifestyle. I only apologize for the incorrect link; the correct one would be for beaches and Pedra do Telégrafo. However, your satisfaction is what really matters.
Alvaro was the most amazing tour guide, we had an absolutely epic time. One of my favorite days of carnaval! Alvaro thought of absolutely every detail and the day went perfectly. The beaches are incredible and so was the hike, the sunset, the snacks and drinks and a taste of Brazil. I am so grateful to have found this expedition and would love to go again / anywhere with Alvaro! Also loved the photo shoot, so many nice touches.
Dear Michelle, thanks a lot for so kind words, can't say enough how meaninful they are to me. Since I started this lifestyle I had some dreams and they come true when I meet and spend unforgetable moments with nice people like you. I apologize for the incorrect link; the correct one would be for beaches and Pedra do Telégrafo. However, what matters is that you were satisfied and we had a great time together.
We had an amazing experience with our guide, Saffo. From the very beginning, he offered us a fully personalized tour of the city, perfectly combining history, culture, and the most iconic places with an ideal pace. What stood out the most was the sense of safety and confidence throughout the entire tour, along with the fun and positive energy he brought to the experience. His historical knowledge is impressive, and his fluency in multiple languages made everything clear, dynamic, and highly professional. Additionally, the photos he took of us were truly professional, capturing every moment in a spectacular way. It was much more than just a tour — it was a complete experience that exceeded all our expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to discover the city in an authentic, safe, and unforgettable way.
Thanks a lot for so kind words, can't say enough how meaninful they are to me. Since I started this lifestyle I had some dreams and they come true when I meet and spend unforgetable moments with nice people like you, dear Alejandro; a trully amazing person, always welcome.
We loved the experience from the beginning to the end. Mr.Alvaro is a super friendly, cult and helpful person. I myself love these tours huge in comparison with the large companies, we get to know different sites, we were able to ask questions and learn about the history, the culture.
Que honra, querida Sandra, o prazer foi todo meu passar esse dia na sua companhia e do pequeno Isaac. Fico muito feliz com as suas palavras, me motivam demais. Muito obrigado!
We had a truly special and memorable day thanks to Alvaro. He was generous with his time and local knowledge, flexible in accommodating our needs, and made sure we experienced the stories behind the city’s most important landmarks. Best of all, the photos he captured of me and my son are simply outstanding — memories we’ll treasure forever.
It was really an awesome day, Khaled, specially surrounded by good people as you and your son Zayd. We made everything happen together and I thank yoy for beeing such an amazing person, easy going and sweet soul. Many thanks, bro!
This is an absolute MUST when visiting Rio!!! Made the entire trip worth it! On top of all of the knowledge and sites, the photographs are top notch!! Would recommend!!! 10/10!!
Dear Kyle, it was a great pleasure to have met you and your friend, both always smiling and laughing, what a positive vibe!!! I really enjoyed having fun with you both, great moments
This tour was absolutely amazing. I booked on my last day in Rio and it was my best day there. Alvaro knows the best spots for pictures and hidden gems. Add on the professional photography. Pictures are so much better that way. The knowledge that comes with the tours is such a learning experience. After being in Brazil for a week, I still learned new things from him. Don’t worry, you won’t go hungry or thirsty during the day. There are a lot of great surprises in this vehicle! I am a solo woman traveler, and I felt completely safe and would book any tour with him. I felt like I was leaving a friend. Do not pass this tour up! Well worth it
For sure it was a great pleasure to me, dear, anyway so kind of yours. On the other hand, I must thank you for beeing so easy going, very simpathic and kind person to me and to the group. It was an amazing day of fun, a great pleasure to have met you
We had a great experience with Alvaro ! Alvaro is a great tour guide (or a big brother like he prefers to call himself) , he knows what’s best , has a great knowledge about the city , great at communication, exceptional execution! Key highlights: 1) Alvaro provided detailed explanation and options for what’s possible along with tips for doing stuff DIY during the planning 2) Always responsive 3) He introduced us Mate and Globo snacks , I can’t remember how many packets of Globo I had after Alvaro introduced it to us during the trip 4) His car was very clean , comfortable , had wifi and drinks too PS: we loved the fact that we didn’t had to stop for lunch which wastes time and instead Alvaro prepared snacks/drinks which were great!
Thank you so much, bro! That`s the vibe, a big brother introducing a local POV includind places and flavors. Besides, you are so kind and easy going person, it was a great pleasure spending those moments with you both. Best wishes!!!!
