Itinerary

  • Corcovado - Christ the Redeemer

    We will visit this monument of almost 90 years, with it's breathtaking view already known before the statue.

    1 hour

  • Mirante Dona Marta

    This viewpoint offers one of the best views for photos in all of Rio de Janeiro and is often neglected by agencies as they avoid prolonged stops. Unmissable and highly Instagrammable

    30 minutes

  • Santa Teresa

    EXCLUSIVE: This unique Rio neighborhood presents its artistic vocation to visitors, with several points of interest; Because we were in a 4X4, we explored exclusive corners and paths, avoided by vans

    30 minutes

  • Escadaria Selaron

    Open-air work of art, with its vibrant colors. As we are in a 4X4, we access from the top, making the visit more complete and comfortable.

    30 minutes

  • Arcos da Lapa (Pass By)

    Historic aqueduct of the mid-XVIII century that now serves as a bridge to the famous Santa Tereza tram

  • Catedral Metropolitana de Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro

    In a modern style, conical shape and founded in 1979, it enchants with its colorful stained glass windows and lots of symbolism

    15 minutes

  • Centro

    EXCLUSIVE: Whenever possible, I try to add an overview and some details of the Historic Center of Rio de Janeiro, covering the arrival of the Portuguese Royal family in 1808, the transformations of the capital at the beginning of the 20th century and phases of landfilling until the move to Brasilia.

    30 minutes

  • Aterro Do Flamengo (Pass By)

    In our path, we will go through this important grounding work, heading to sugar loaf

  • Enseada de Botafogo (Pass By)

    In our exclusive tour, the path towards Sugar loaf is by the beautiful cove that had as first illustrious inhabitant queen Carlota Joaquina

  • Urca

    EXCLUSIVE: We visited corners of this iconic neighborhood with stunning views and excellent for photos, including the famous Urca wall, a meeting point for illustrious residents

    30 minutes

  • Sugarloaf Mountain

    At that moment you decide: 1) if you are staying for lunch and taking the Cable Car* OR 2) if you want to return to the hotel OR 3) if you want to continue to another point of your choice. *If you choose to take the Pão de Açúcar cable car (185 reais per person), consider 2 to 3 hours, thus enjoying 3 different moments: the afternoon, sunset and night. The region is very safe and well policed, with a large number of taxis/Uber, just 10 minutes from Copacabana.

Superb Host

Published on Oct, 2024

Alvaro took amazing care of my wife and I, showing us all the major sights in the City in a compressed time period. He was generous, kind with his time and informative and tool amazing shots which were sent to us within 24 hours. I can't recommend him enough!

Amazing experience!!!

Published on Dec, 2023

A truly amazing experience! Alvaro was prepared for everything! We enjoyed the first tour so much that we asked for another. During the city tour, he tailored the tour exactly to our interests! Great communication and great energy. Highly recommend 10/10!!!

Best Rio City Tour

Published on Nov, 2023

We were initially planning on touring the city on our own. However, after meeting Saffo on a Barra da Tijuca tour, we had to ask him to take us on a City Tour. We're so glad Saffo was able to do this. It was evident we would've had challenges on our own as the city was packed. Saffo knows all the secrets and ins & outs. He just makes everything easier so all you have to worry about is having fun. We ticked everything off our list and had a great time.

Great experience

Published on Jun, 2023

Awesome tour! A must have in Rio! Adds flavor to your Rio visit; an authentic Brazilian experience

A 5-Star Tour Guide!

Published on Feb, 2023

We had gone on a tour with Alvaro of the local beaches, and he was so good, we booked the city tour with him. And we were glad we did! He took us to out- of-the-way places we would never see with other tour guides. I felt like I really got to know Rio because of Alvaro. I'm a senior citizen and was traveling with my son's family. I have some mobility issues, and Alvaro went above and beyond to accommodate me when they were places I didn't feel comfortable walking with my family. And he spends so much time taking photos of us at our various stops - I've never experienced this with any other tour guide. On top of that, he has a great personality, and we felt we were leaving a "friend" when the day long tour ended. If I return to Rio, Alvaro is the person I would call for another tour. Thanks, Alvaro, for everything!
