Private Tour: Rio de Janeiro Experience with Christ & Sugar Loaf

It was a tour of the city on the second day of the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, so it was a pity that we were unable to stop at some of the sights we had planned due to traffic jams and the huge crowds of people that we were bringing around the city. Car traffic forced me to get out of my car about 1.5km short of the Sugar Loaf ropeway boarding area and walk to the ropeway station, which turned out to be another very good memory and experience. The tour guide worked hard despite the difficult day. The view from Corcovado Hill and Sugar Loaf was truly amazing and I had a very memorable day. We are very grateful to our guide, Flavio. Thank you for your hard work.

Wagner and Jony are the dream team of tours. On time, pleasant, attentive, patient, made our visit a wonderful experience. A lot of information, a lot of willingness and always watching us. Thank you so much!!! I definitely recommend them!!!

We had a fantastic family tour in Rio. Gabriella was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, warm, and great with kids. Marcelo, the tour operator, was very responsive and easy to work with throughout. Everything was well organized, smooth, and enjoyable. Highly recommend!

The tour was thoroughly enjoyable, mainly due to our charming and competent guide, Wagner. After a long and tiring flight, this was the perfect opportunity to get to know Rio de Janeiro. Wagner kept us well looked after, changing the plans as our energy and the weather permitted. We have many fond memories of captivating conversations, delicious meals and informative excursions. Many thanks to Wagner and the organizers!

Richard was our tour guide and showed us the best parts of the city of Rio de Janeiro. He explained the history and interesting points about the Christ the Redeemer monument, Sugar Loaf, and the history of these fascinating attractions. George was an excellent driver and navigated the traffic like a pro. Marcel handled the booking and answered all of my questions during the booking process. I am partially disabled and Richard guided me with a steady hand and was always thinking of our safety. My husband and I highly recommend BeFree Tours!

It was a seamless experience from start to finish with excellent communication and superb service . Our guide Flávio took care of everything and we moved quickly though huge lines at Christ the redeemer and other places with the VIP passes . He made sure we were always in the best spot for photo opportunities and was very informative . We felt extremely safe at all times and our lovely big van was always nearby . Wonderful service cannot recommend highly enough

Marcelo was most helpful in crafting a two-day private tour of the city for my family group of 3 adults. He worked tirelessly with me, even over the weekend and late into his working hours — Rio is two hours ahead of where I am. Over the two days, we not only were able to hit all the main sights that I wanted to see, but also a much appreciated day of immersion into the local life, street food, Sunday market, and much more. The guides were absolutely charming and nothing short of professionalism. In the end, I’m happy to recommend this company to anyone looking for a carefree holiday(s) in Rio. You are in very good hands.

Awesome Tour of Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf, the Steps and lunch at the Potella. Wagner is an outstanding guide full of knowledge who also made the experience a lot of fun. He is a gentleman, kind and considerate. Thank you.

Good tour with Fernando, took us to all the main places and added some of his own, which made it even better

Here’s a way to phrase your review: "Faby provided a great and excellent tour! She was both quick and thorough, taking the time to explain everything from Christ the Redeemer to Sugarloaf Mountain. The skip-the-line ticket was essential, and she did a fantastic job showcasing the different neighborhoods like Copacabana, Ipanema, and Leblon. I also appreciated her taking me to the Havaianas store, explaining the Maracanã Stadium, and helping me capture great videos on the Escadaria Selarón."
