Itinerary
Cristo Redentor is one of the main symbols of the country and offers a privileged panoramic view of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
The Selarón Staircase [1] is an architectural work located between the Santa Teresa and Lapa districts in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, decorated by the long-time Brazilian artist living in Brazil, Jorge Selarón, who declared it a "homage to the Brazilian people".
Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho, better known as Maracanã, the popular Maraca ("akin to a rattle" in Tupi-Guarani, due to the sound of birds that lived there).
The Sambadrome of the Marquês de Sapucaí, also known as Sambódromo of Rio de Janeiro and officially denominated as Passarela Professor Darcy Ribeiro, is a sambódromo located in Avenida Marquês de Sapucaí, in the central zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Inaugurated in the year 1984, the venue is the stage of the most famous popular festival in Brazil, the Rio de Janeiro Samba School Parade, which is held annually during the Carnival holiday.
The Arcos da Lapa is located in the region of Lapa, in the district of Lapa, in the Central Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Considered as the largest architectural work undertaken in Brazil during the colonial period, it is today one of the city's postcards, the most representative symbol of ancient Rio de Janeiro preserved in the Bohemian region of Lapa.
the Cathedral of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro or Catedral Metropolitana, as it is best known, is located in the center of the city. The project is authored by the modernist architect Edgar Oliveira da Fonseca, coordinated by Monsignor Ivo Antônio Calliari.
Pão de Açúcar is a hill complex located in the neighborhood of Urca, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is composed by the Morro do Pão de Açúcar (which gives its name to the complex), Morro da Urca and Morro da Babilônia. Along with the statue of Christ the Redeemer, it is the largest postcard of the city of Rio de Janeiro and one of the most famous in Brazil. Due to the unique characteristics, bordered by the waters of Guanabara Bay, it is an international tourist reference for the city.

Excellent guide, excellent tour,
I appreciated being able to visit the main sites without making my own arrangements. The guide could have been much more informative and helpful. It seemed I had to drag information out of him. He offered very little background to the sites we visited. I believe I could’ve learned a lot more on this tour and in fact I did learn more about the sites I saw while taking other Tours. I felt a bit cheated actually . It seemed he was a bit bored and and not very passionate about his job. However, I’m glad to have done a tour that took me to Grace redeemer, Sugarloaf, and the cathedral. It was easy . It seems there wasn’t really more to see. We stopped at the stadium for pictures. And the sellaron steps (crowded) . The buffet was excellent and it was fun to experience and Brazilian buffet with the meat on the skewers.
I had a lot of fun dancing and eating at Buenos Rodizio.
The worst organized trip than I've ever had. Pick up delay of 25 minutes Collecting from all participants takes 1 hour and 45 minutes. The original itinerary was changed (The order) thus an important stop the Maracana was not approached.The most important monument was the Christ statue was approached after it got dark..so no photo day shots could be taken although it was lt itinerary first.wil we had arrived at the end , the stay was limited to 30 minutes , lt plan one hour ,the Samba Hippodrome was also approached at night, no stop , man could not see anything Bin mega disappointed with the organization and execution of the excursion. Since important booked components were not adhered to , I ask for 30% refund of the price, also due to deagande holiday joy
Very nice excursion. Very good the coordinator Raquel.. very organized and tries to take care of the tourist.. we learned a lot.. we had a great time
Raquel very good guide, very concerned about the group, we recommend full. We are Chilean and recommend it, the tour is done in Spanish.
Nice experience... in the places visited we were a prudent time... the well organized tour...
Very good experience. Very friendly Jorge and Junior
It was wonderful, unforgettable experiences.
We played a guide that did not explain anything, even when asked what year was the cathedral of Rio did not know how to answer, did not explain that the route of sugar bread was with 2 cable cars so when I did not know I stayed with my companion looking at the helicopter and she continued the route being lost, likewise when I made the payment of the balance of the tour by my companion entered the money to his account charging me $4 more, I was not at ease with the service, they must train their guides to explain to the tourists
