Petropolis is a 1-2 hour drive from Rio, but the drive itself is part of the attraction. It ranges from city highways to scenic curvy mountain roads. Either way, the drive offers a chance both to view the landscapes outside of Rio and to get acquainted with your tour guide (for us, it was Fabio). Time well spent! Petropolis itself is also worth your time, especially if you have a guide as knowledgeable and personable as Fabio. We recommend him.
This was an amazing tour. Fabio had so much knowledge and was willing to share so many interesting facts and in a clear manner that was easy to understand and follow. The drive is about 1.5 hours to get to Petropolis (less to come back due to how the roads are laid out) and Fabio was a great, safe driver - which is wonderful for Brazil driving. He also shared about things we passed on the drive. He is so knowledgeable about the sites and history of Brazil. His joy in sharing this information was also evident. So many great sites in Petropolis to see and experience. We loved this day trip. And we got back just after 3pm, so had lots of time for other things in the afternoon and evening (for us this was heading home.)
My family and I had a wonderful day with Fabio in our visit to petropolis. Fabio arrived promptly and had no problem waiting for our teenagers to arrive. We had an easy (80 minute) drive to petropolis and spent several hours in this historic town. We had ample time at the highlights (primarily the imperial museum) and a lovely lunch. If you are interested in Brazilian history/Pedro II, this is a terrific day trip from Rio.
Thanks a lot Greg. Best regards, Fabio
Fabio picked us up promptly at our hotel and safely drove us out to Petropolis. He gave a lot of information and history as he walked us through the Imperial Museum since there is no English translation there. This is the second tour we've taken with Fabio (the first one was Private City Tour Christ and Sugarloaf), and he is always professional and courteous. At the end of the tour, he dropped us off at the airport at our request. We would recommend this tour and Fabio as your tour guide.
Thanks a lot Mae for the two amazing tours that we had in Rio de Janeiro. I hope to see you again soon. Big hugs
