Rio de Janeiro City Tours

See the best of Rio in one day: Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf, the colourful Selarón Steps (Escadaria Selarón), the bohemian Santa Teresa and Lapa, the Maracanã stadium and the city’s historic centre, often with a Brazilian barbecue lunch. A great-value way to tick off the Marvellous City’s icons.
