Went with my parents and sister, we had THE BEST time. The whole day felt kind of magical, tbh. Our guide (I think her name was Beatriz?) was so chill—she even helped my dad with his camera settings at Christ the Redeemer lol. Selaron Steps were suuuper busy but worth it for the photos, even if we got photobombed by like five strangers. Sunset at Sugarloaf was EPIC, the colors were unreal. If you don't like crowds, maybe avoid weekends. But honestly, even my grumpy teen sister cracked a smile. Would 100% recommend.

I did this tour solo and never felt awkward once. Met people from literally everywhere (shoutout to the Aussie couple who shared their umbrella at the Selaron Steps!). Our guide, Rodrigo, kept us laughing and made sure everyone got their pics. I wish we'd had longer at Sugarloaf because the sunset was STUNNING, but we did squeeze a lot in. If you're new to Rio, this is a no-brainer.

Family trip with 2 kids (9 & 12) and they STILL talk about the monkeys at Sugarloaf. Our guide, Lucas, kept them entertained with goofy facts and let them lead the group for a bit. Traffic was wild on the way to Christ the Redeemer but we made it work. Selaron Steps were a riot of color. Highly recommend for families, but bring snacks for the little ones.

Hit Rio's must-sees in half a day with hotel pickup, expert local guide, and awe-inspiring views all wrapped into one epic journey.

Relax with AC van transfers and live commentary in 3 languages—so all you need to do is sit back and soak in Rio’s charm.

Stand face to face with Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado—iconic views, powerful presence, and plenty of photo ops.

Wander through Rio’s urban art and architecture from the vibrant Selarón Steps to the futuristic, soaring Metropolitan Cathedral.

Soar up Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car and catch the sunset as Rio glows beneath you—this is the city at its cinematic best.

Solid tour if you want to hit all the Rio classics in one go. The bus was a bit cramped and the weather turned cloudy but Christ the Redeemer still gave us goosebumps. Our guide was fun and shared random stories about the city. Sugarloaf was packed at sunset, but that view is something else. Bring snacks—there's not much time for a real meal!

Went with my boyfriend and we loved it! The guide was super sweet and pointed out little things we’d have missed on our own, like the tile with the blue cat at Selaron Steps. It rained a bit at Christ the Redeemer but actually made the view more dramatic. Sugarloaf cable car is a little scary if you hate heights but soooo worth it.
