All our private tours include professional multilingual guides, comfortable air-conditioned transportation, entrance tickets to attractions, hotel pickup and drop-off anywhere in Rio, and complimentary bottled water. We handle all the logistics so you can focus on enjoying your Rio experience.

Completely flexible! Unlike group tours with fixed schedules, our private tours adapt to your interests and pace. Want to spend extra time photographing Christ the Redeemer? Interested in exploring a neighborhood that catches your eye? Just let your guide know – it’s your day, your way. You can also request a completely customized itinerary from scratch based on your specific interests.

Private tours offer a more personalized experience, allowing you to tailor the itinerary to your interests, pace, and preferences. You’ll have the dedicated attention of your guide and can adjust the schedule as needed. Additionally, private tours often provide greater flexibility in terms of departure times and inclusions.

Rio’s iconic landmarks include Christ the Redeemer statue, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Santa Teresa neighborhood, and the colorful Selarón Steps. For day trips, consider Petrópolis (Imperial City) or Ilha Grande’s pristine beaches. Our local guides can recommend hidden gems and authentic experiences based on your interests – from street art and local markets to scenic hiking trails and traditional restaurants.
