What To Expect
Copacabana Beach
Copacabana Beach is the most famous beach in the city (maybe even in the country, or in the world) and is about 4 km long. Among the trademarks is its boardwalk with waves drawn in Portuguese stone, designed by famous brazilian landscaper Burle Max. In Copacabana you will testify why cariocas have such a beautiful tan. While you travel through these neighborhoods, you will hear a few tips on what to do around them and the interesting stories that took place in these streets.
Guanabara Palace
You will pass through the historic Laranjeiras neighborhood, which hosts the Guanabara Palace, the ancient home of Princess Isabel who signed the Golden Law to free all slaves. Nowadays, the Palace is the official headquarters of the government of Rio de Janeiro.

5.00I came to Rio for work so I didn't have a lot of time to explore Rio. So I went on this tour and got to see the mai attractions in Rio. I had Patricia as my guide and Aloisio as the driver. They were both fantastic and really welcoming. The lunch was delicious, you get to go to a Rodizio where the staff are really welcoming.
Short on time this is the tour for you

5.00We booked the tour thru the hotel concierge. They use Gray Line. Let me tell you is worth every dollar. Luis our tour guide is very knowledgeable and his customer service is impeccable. In our tour the had Portuguese, English, Spanish speaking people and he pretty much was able deliver the information with out missing a beat. The food was delicious at the restaurant. One thing this a long very tiring tour, be prepared to take a day off the next. But if you have limited time in Rio this is the tour for you. Thanks Luis
An unforgettable name: Warley.

5.00We had an excellent experience in Rio de Janeiro, where we know several tourist sights such as the Christ Redemptor, Sugar Bread and the Selaron Staircase. All this wonderful experience was provided by Guia Warley, who is an extremely charismatic, competent and fun Cover. I learned to bring relevant information about the points we passed and took amazing photos, in addition to leading the group in an exceptional way and preserving the harmony between Guia and Group. We also count on the driver Eduardo who made a phenomenal double with him, bringing a fun and mild climate, without any doubt I recommend both for any tour in the region, there is no regret. I thank Enterprise for providing me with amazing moments and meeting these wonderful people.

5.00This was a great tour! It covered SugarLoaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, Metropolitan Cathedral, Selaron Steps...and lunch at a Brazilian steakhouse (which had amazing meat selections coming around the table). Our tour guide (Warley) was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about the various attractions. Overall, we had a fantastic day, and would highly recommend this tour to others visiting Rio!
Excellent
