This specially designed 7-hour tour around the city of Rio de Janeiro provides a unique chance to see the attractions of Rio de Janeiro with a professional English-speaking tour guide showing you all around.

The day tour starts with pick-up at your hotel or hostel in Rio (pick up only at some areas in Zona Sul)*. Your first stop will be at Christ Statue (ticket included) to avoid the crowd we arrive early there.

From there, you will visit Tijuca National Park and get a glimpse of the greenest tropical rainforest. This is the best spot to check how nature and the urban area can coexist, while seeing waterfalls, tropical plants, and wildlife.

After that, stop for lunch (not included) and then hit the road again, this time to visit Maracana Stadium from outside, then go towards the Centro to go to Cinelandia (Municipal Theater) from outside and the Cathedral (visit inside). Then finally we will visit the Selaron Steps at Lapa and Santa Teresa Neighborhood.

At the end of your day you will be offered the option to be dropped off (in case you are not in the pick up cover area we will drop off at a meeting point) at Sugarloaf Mountain in time for enjoying the sunset or to be dropped off back at your hotel or hostel.
