Rio de Janeiro Private City Tour: Christ, Sugarloaf & More

We spent nearly two full days with Gus and he shared so much of this great city with us He was personable, kind and gave us valuable insight on the local history. Also a great storyteller and driver! Highlights included a personal tour of Christo Redentor, Cathedral of St Sebastian, the Selaron Staircase , Carnival Experience and Santa Teresa. I highly recommend him for personal tours .

Gus was the best very knowledgeable of everything… everything was top tier from pickup til drop off highly recommend him.

Gus picked us up from the port at the end of a cruise and showed us two of the highlights of Rio (Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf) before transferring us with our luggage to our hotel. He was prompt, funny, and knew everyone everywhere. He also organized tickets to a soccer match for the next day including transportation. We had a fantastic day and I would recommend him to anyone.

Our experienced guide, Gus, made all the difference for our Rio adventure. Due in part to Holy Week, Christ the Redeemer was packed! In spite of having “skip the line tickets” the lines were very long and hot. Gus helped our group navigate the chaos! The weather was perfect for photos with a beautiful blue sky. Unlike the cruise ship excursions, we also made it to Sugar Loaf and, thankfully, beat the late afternoon storm. Again, Gus, made the difference, as we arrived past our entry time, but he was able to get us in. Rio is a beautiful city and I hope to visit, again. Thanks, Nancy & Gus

Gus took exceptional care of our group in Rio. We were in for a shorter day, off of a cruise ship, and Gus managed to tour us through both Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer. He was very attentive to ensuring everyone was looked after and showed us a fabulous day. Highly recommend Gus!

Augusto was fantastic. He contacted me in advance and helped me prepare for the tour. He took us to all the top locations as well as a cute and tasty lunch location next to the bay. I highly recommend him.

Gus provided an excellent tour of Rio!! He is so knowledgeable about the history of the city and took us to the most important and interesting sites during our tour. It was an amazing and authentic experience! I will highly recommend him to friends and family that visit Rio in the future.

Our experience with Patricia was amazing! She was super knowledgeable about the history and all the sites of Rio. We did this tour on our last day in Rio and really wanted to see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf but we had a tight timeframe before our flight. Patricia knew exactly how to make this work and even knew some tricks on how to wait the shortest amount of time in lines. As we wrre driving Patricia gave us really interesting information about the city and we truly enjoyed our conversation with her. It was just a great experience. Booking was also very easy and Gus gave us exactly the info we needed to buy the tickets for skip the line and fast pass, which were really necessary as the lines everywhere are long and these attractions are crowded. Very good experience with a professional tour company and Patricia as our experienced guide. Thank you so much!

Not only do you have a private car & driver, you have a knowledgeable guide. Both work well together to get you to sites smoothly & expedite the process.

Gus was a great guide showing us the sights of Rio and providing advice about other activities we could do during our stay. Super nice guy!!
