Additional Information

A quick tour in Rio de Janeiro visiting the two most famous landmarks: the Christ the Redeemer Statue and Sugarloaf Mountain.

Get picked up from your hotel and drive up to the Christ the Redeemer Statue - one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - on top of Corcovado Mountain. The drive is short and beautiful, traveling through the Tijuca Forest before opening up to incredible views of the entire city.

Then go to Sugarloaf Mountain, located in the Urca neighborhood. Ride a series of 2 cable cars en route to the summit, first arriving at Urca Hill, and then continuing to the top of Sugarloaf, reaching a height of 1,295 feet (395m). Conclude the tour with an exquisitely beautiful panorama of Rio de Janeiro.

The very best of Rio for those with little time.

Great for solo travelers - Really enjoyed this tour. Got to see a bunch of the great tourist spots Rio offers from Christ the Redeemer to Sugarloaf mountain, and all the beaches. The tour guide was great. Had a lovely day.

Monica was a great tour guide - This tour was incredible! My tour guide Monica Bertazzolo was phenomenal! She had to speak like 5 different language fluently to keep everyone engaged and informed. She made sure we got thru the sites safely and efficiently. She was kind enough to take photos for me and everyone else to make sure we got the good photos at the Christ the Redeemer monument. Excellent tour, very well done. Would highly recommend anyone who visits Rio to do this tour where you see both Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer on the same morning, particularly with Monica.

A great day at the beach - Our trip pick up time was punctual - our guide shared the tour in 3 different languages, he continually checked in and gave great care to ensure all were accounted for and safe. It’s a beach day and a drive to get there. From 6am to 9pm

Almost the same as if you just did it on your own - Another review mentioned this but prepare for a lack of organization, and running late. No meetup times or meetup places were set in the group, it was a free-for-all. Very little information given about anything on the tour. Our guide still had to go and secure tickets at each location and we did not get the express line at Sugarloaf as advertised. It was a little unclear whether or not we got any express treatment at Christ the Reedemer. The transportation was comfortable and our guide was friendly and spoke pretty good English. I would say unless you are the type of person that struggles to figure things out on your own like ordering an uber between destinations or buying tickets for yourself at the location that you should do it yourself, or find a tour that is a little more structured.

Hire Your Own Guide if You Can - Crowded bus combined with a guide who wasn’t very knowledgeable, though he was friendly. If you can afford it, hire a guide and do them alone.
