About this activity

Rio de Janeiro is a city of incredible diversity, with breathtaking mountains, beautiful beaches, and Tijuca National Park, one of the world’s largest urban forests. With so much to explore, visitors with limited time often see only famous attractions like Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain.

Our favorite route, UNTOUCHED RIO: PRIVATE TOUR , takes you beyond the usual tourist spots to discover hidden gems, secluded trails, breathtaking viewpoints, and natural wonders that can be difficult to explore on your own.

Prefer the classics? Our RIO CLASSIC PRIVATE TOUR covers iconic landmarks like Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. You can also combine these famous sights with lesser-known places for the perfect mix of Rio’s highlights and hidden gems.

Our private tours are customizable, allowing you to choose experiences that match your interests and pace, with the support of a local guide.

Discover the real Rio and experience places you might never find on your own!
