The more detail you share with us before the tour, the better we can design it. Tell us your interests, must-sees, dietary needs, mobility considerations, and anything you've already seen in Rio.
Custom tours range from 4 hours (half-day) to multi-day itineraries covering Rio state — Petrópolis, Búzios, Ilha Grande, Paraty. Let us know your available time when you reach out.
If you have mobility limitations, mention this upfront — we can design a fully accessible itinerary that avoids stairs, steep terrain, and long walks while still delivering an exceptional experience.

How does the Custom Tour work -- what's the process?

It starts with a conversation. Contact us via WhatsApp or email with your interests, group size, available dates, and any must-see items. Our team will design a personalized itinerary for your review, adjust based on your feedback, and confirm once you're satisfied. There's no charge for the planning process.

What's the minimum and maximum duration for a Custom Tour?

Custom Tours range from 4 hours (half-day) to multi-day adventures. Most groups opt for a full day (8-10 hours). For multi-day tours exploring Rio state beyond the city -- Petrópolis, Búzios, Ilha Grande, Paraty -- we can design a complete itinerary spanning several days.

How is the pricing determined for a Custom Tour?

Pricing varies based on itinerary, duration, group size, and specific attractions selected (some have additional entrance fees). We'll provide a complete transparent quote before you confirm. There are no surprise costs on the day of the tour.

Can the Custom Tour accommodate people with mobility limitations?

Yes -- this is one of the key reasons guests choose the Custom Tour. We can design an itinerary that avoids stairs, steep terrain, or long walks, while still delivering an exceptional Rio experience. Please mention any mobility considerations when you contact us.

Can we combine multiple tours or attractions not on your standard menu?

Absolutely -- that's the point of the Custom Tour. Whether it's a specific restaurant, neighborhood, event, architectural landmark, or activity not covered in our standard tours, we can incorporate it. Rio has far more to offer than any fixed tour can cover, and our guides' local knowledge is extensive.
