Description
Discover the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro with a guided sightseeing tour, including hotel pickup and drop-off for a hassle-free experience. Choose between a half-day or full-day tour, both led by a knowledgeable guide. In the half-day morning option, visit two of Rio’s most iconic landmarks—start at Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain for breathtaking views, then head to Sugarloaf Mountain and ride the cable car to the top for panoramic sights of the city, ocean, and surrounding hills. If you prefer an afternoon tour, begin in the bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa, known for its historic charm and local art scene, and end with a visit to the colorful Selarón Steps, a vibrant mosaic staircase perfect for photos. For a more complete experience, the full-day tour includes all these highlights. Start your day at Christ the Redeemer, then explore Santa Teresa’s artistic streets, enjoy a traditional Brazilian lunch—often featuring dishes like feijoada—and continue to the Selarón Steps. End your tour with a cable car ride up Sugarloaf Mountain, where you can take in stunning views of Guanabara Bay and Copacabana Beach, with the chance to catch a beautiful sunset before returning to your hotel.
