BEST ANNIVERSARY/EXPERIENCY IN RIO DE JANEIRO
la ssan2026,Apr 29, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00I decided to celebrate my birthday in a different way, strolling through the sights of Rio de Janeiro, and nothing better than going with whoever understands. I knew it would be amazing, but it exceeded all my expectations. Too attentive! They optimized the time in a surprising way that I could take advantage of several points in a single day! We started going to Christ Redentor, where I had already gone other times, but with the company, the experience was different, because I didn't have to worry about car stands, waiting time, nothing, we just took advantage of the moment, because the driver was available to take us where we went and with a guide, the care is faster. Afterwards we head to the Leblon Mirante, then to the incredible Sugar Bread, with those views that never tire. The lunch break was at the Centro, a restaurant where there were several options, and the script continued with the Metropolitan Cathedral of São Sebastião, and to close this perfect day: Selarón staircase, a true postcard full of life and color. I was smart and I took a dress to take pictures in places with different looks haha. Want to know Rio the best way? Go to Express Tour!
Still saw the Rio sights during Carnaval

5.00Let's set the scene: Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval, four cruiseships in Port, and a Port Authority which delayed our docking 3 hours. To the rescue came our private tour guide, Patrick, who brilliantly teamed with a driver in order to navigate the teeming crowds and still show us the AMAZING sights of Christ the Redeemer, Escadaria Selarón, AND Sugarloaf Mountain. Patrick's thorough background story for each, and each ecological and city area we could seen, significantly ehanced our experience. All done with the easy banter of a longtime family friend. We look forward to our next visit and engaging Patrick again.

5.00Jaise was an outgoing and experienced guide who helped us get most in this half day tour of Corcovado's Christ the Redeemer and the Sugarloaf. Transportation arrangements were efficient. Excellent spots for picture talking were promptly suggested. We truly appreciate her quality guidance that morning.
