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.

The tour guide was god awful. No history just dropping us off and sometimes we had no idea where we were. She gave nothing. It was the worst. The tour was about 12 hours...pick up needs to be organized earlier to enjoy activities. Christ the redeemer and sugar loaf mountain should be early. Went to the steps and cathedral with no warning or history....just follow me. Worst tour guide ever. So many other things I can not write.
I loved the tour, our guide was Júlia, a sweetheart.
A very beautiful place, very clean and well-kept. I loved the rustic style. I would do it again without hesitation.
It was one of the best experiences of our life with total organization, an excellent guide (Alexandre), and proper distribution of the different activities at Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, and city tours. This tour is highly recommended.
I loved the experience from start to finish. Fill out the forms via WhatsApp and on the day, the guide was incredible. I recommend!
Had a great time seeing Rio in a Day
Octavio was an awesome guide. He took very good care of us and had us engaged the whole time. It is high speed and having a group is always challenging. But you get to see and cover ALOT in one day.
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.
