The very top is reached by climbing a flight of stairs to arrive at the iconic Christ the Redeemer Statue.

Fantastic tour with Henry of Rio highlights. - We had an absolutely fabulous day with Henry in Rio. It was a very busy day there as it was New Year’s Eve but Henry really maximized our time and we were able to see so much more with him than we e Ed would have on our own. He is personable and knowledgeable. A wonderful day at Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf drive by Copacabana and visit to Selaron steps was capped off by a Caiprinha we purchased at a kiosk. Great day all around.

Excellent value - Our guide Camila was the most memorable part of the trip. Her enthusiasm for Rio especially as a true native of the city made our 6 hours the most enjoyable! Highly recommend Camila and this company. We were traveling from the Amazon and had only 24 hrs in Rio. We made the most of it based on her suggestions and the tour! Look forward to returning to Rio in the near future. Excellent use of time to see Rio and great value for money

Fun in Rio de Janeiro - Dec 18, 2023 - Camila Feher was our tour guide (6-hour Tour in Rio de Janeiro) on December 18, 2023. My family really enjoyed Camila as our tour guide. She was very professional, knowledgeable and clearly has a passion for her profession. This was the first visit to Rio de Janeiro for my wife and I. This is the 4th visit for my father-in-law. Touring with Camila was like touring with a close friend - She was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and took time to answer all of our questions. Camila is a wonderful tour guide and a great asset to her company. My Wife and I are Travel Advisors and would gladly refer her to our clients who wish to vacation in Rio de Janeiro. We recommend Camila as a tour guide for anyone vacationing in Rio de Janeiro. She’s the best!

Rio in great hands - What a fun day we had with Camila and assisted by our wonderful driver Maicon who was never far away.
Camila’s energy was constant throughout the day and due to the weather and her expert knowledge she was able to accommodate the needs of our family group.
Not only did we get to learn the history and culture of Rio, Camila was humble enough to ask us about our country and culture.
We flew in for a day trip, and the 6 hour private tour was a fantastic use of our holiday time.
Well done Camila and the team that allowed us to have a beautiful time and create an unforgettable memory.
