If you are looking for a respite from the Rio heat, the "Imperial City" tour with C2Rio Tours & Travel is the ideal choice. Not only because of the destination, which looks like a bit of Germany in Brazil, but because of the warmth of the team. We booked the Petropolis day tour and it exceeded our expectations. From the start, the coordination with Ana Julia by WhatsApp was impeccable; we were confirmed the pick-up at our Copacabana hotel 24 hours in advance. One very positive detail: we saw that people staying in Barra de Tijuca were provided with an Uber to approach the meeting point, something that not all agencies do. Our guide, Thais, was a resounding 10. Although most spoke Portuguese, he took all the time to explain every detail in Spanish with a lot of patience and passion. Also special mention for our driver (a genius, very responsible behind the wheel). We visit: Views of Serra dos Órgãos National Park: The scenery on the climb is amazing. Quitandinha Palace (free admission): The perfect entrance to the city. Cathedral of San Pedro de Alcantara. Imperial Museum (entrance fee included with tour): The main course. The collection is very rich and includes the royal crown, the scepter and the king's cape. (Too bad the stables were closed, a reason to come back!). Crystal Palace Free time: Although Rua Teresa was closed for Sunday and we did not want to go to the craft brewery, Thais suggested excellent options. We opted for the Casa de Santos Dumont and sweetened up at the Chocolateria Katz, a total success! The combi was modern and comfortable. One detail I highlight is punctuality; the organization is so professional that they are watching every passenger on WhatsApp to make everything flow. The return was made very enjoyable thanks to the good vibe of the group and the safe driving of our driver (sorry I do not remember her name but very friendly also and responsible behind the wheel). I would definitely choose Thais and C2Rio again for an upcoming adventure.

Nos alegra saber que el tour a Petrópolis superó sus expectativas y que todo el proceso, desde la atención de Ana Julia hasta el profesionalismo de nuestra conductora, contribuyó a un día tan especial. Es fantástico saber que Thais hizo la experiencia aún más enriquecedora, explicando cada detalle en español y ofreciendo recomendaciones que marcaron la diferencia. Nuestro objetivo es justamente combinar organización, cercanía e información para que cada visitante disfrute lo mejor de la “Ciudad Imperial”. Gracias por su confianza y por la recomendación. Será un placer recibirlos nuevamente para nuevas aventuras en Río.

I am so thankful to have taken this tour! Our tour guide, mama Cris was fantastic, knowledgeable, funny, kind, sweet, friendly and very caring. She took care of her tour group so well and bring firm on punctuality! The tour was so good and educational! I learnt much more about Brazil, Rio de Janeiro snd Pedro I Pedro II. Highly recommended! Book it, go and enjoy the trip! I hope you get Mana Cris! And our driver Pedro was so patient with us, making all the needed stops! Thank you for driving us safely uncle Pedro! despite the pouring rain going down the mountain to complete our journey back to Rio! I'm grateful!
The visit to Petropolis is a must. Not only is it a city steeped in history and wonderfully preserved, it is in a unique setting, nestled in the middle of nature and breathes incredible peace. An ideal visit to spend a different day near Rio de Janeiro. Monica, the guide, was the best thing that could have happened to us: not only does she know a lot, but she is also super clear explaining, organizing the times and was always at the group’s disposal. Lunch was very good.
There are no words to describe the outstanding experience we had thanks to Newton, the best guide ever. It was so much information about Brazilian royal history (and more) that we were afraid it could be an exam at the end of the tour!! Lol. We highly recommend this tour. It was totally stress free, it felt like visiting with a local family member. We loved it We are looking to go back in the near future and, of course, count on this guided ser ices. Newton the best guide ever!!
