Custom Private Tours

Rio de Janeiro boasts a wealth of attractions, allowing you the flexibility to curate your own adventure with our private tours. We present four distinct itineraries:

Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf Mountain Tour (4 Hours)

Your journey begins with a pick-up from your accommodation, followed by a drive to the Corcovado railway station. There, you will board a train that ascends to the summit. Upon arrival, you’ll find yourself at the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, where you’ll have an hour to explore both the statue and the stunning viewpoints surrounding it.

Next, we will venture to the renowned Sugarloaf Mountain, perched at the entrance of Guanabara Bay. A scenic cable car ride will take us to the summit, where a remarkable panorama of the city awaits.

The tour will conclude with a return trip to your hotel.

Rio de Janeiro, AquaRio, & Rio Star Tour (7 Hours)

Starting with a pick-up from your accommodation, we will proceed to the train station and take a scenic ride up to the Corcovado mountain, home to the esteemed Christ the Redeemer statue. This landmark is one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World, and you’ll have the chance to explore the area and admire the views.

Subsequently, we will visit AquaRio, the largest aquarium in South America, showcasing 5,000 animals from 350 different species. Following this, we will admire the Rio Star Ferris Wheel, one of the city's newest attractions. Standing at nearly 300 feet (88 meters), it provides exceptional views of the area.

We'll also visit Sugarloaf Mountain before concluding the tour and escorting you back to your accommodation.

Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain & Santa Teresa Tour (8 Hours)

Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel, followed by a transfer to the Corcovado station to board the train to the Christ the Redeemer statue. This iconic figure presents enchanting views of the city that you can explore.

Next, we will explore the vibrant neighborhood of Santa Teresa, visiting the Plaza de Guimarães and the Parque de las Ruinas. You’ll also get the chance to wander through the bustling downtown area to see the colorful Selaron stairs and the Metropolitan Cathedral.

The journey concludes with a cable car ride to Sugarloaf Mountain, offering some of the finest views of Rio de Janeiro. Finally, we will return you to your hotel.

Rio de Janeiro Nature Tour (8 Hours)

This excursion is designed for those looking to experience the natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro. Following your pick-up from the hotel, we will head to Corcovado and board the famous train that transports visitors through lush greenery to the summit where the Christ the Redeemer statue resides.

Our adventure continues at the stunning Botanical Garden, showcasing a diverse array of tropical flora and fauna. We will then embark on a tour of the Tijuca Forest, the largest urban forest globally. Highlights include a stop at the famed Vista Chinesa viewpoint and the serene Taunay Waterfall.

As we make our way to the coastline, you will have the opportunity to admire the iconic Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, where golden sands meet the Atlantic Ocean. To cap it all off, we will take a cable car ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain for a magnificent panoramic view of the city, with all of Rio at your feet!

The tour concludes with a return to your hotel.

Please note: Access to the Vista Chinesa viewpoint is restricted for vehicles on Sundays and public holidays. If you wish to experience this location, we suggest planning your visit for another day of the week.
