First stop: the awe-inspiring Christ the Redeemer, an epitome of modern wonder perched atop Corcovado Mountain. Our approach is nothing short of stylish – a scenic train ride through the lush embrace of Tijuca RainForest, immersing you in nature’s grandeur.
The charm of Santa Teresa awaits next, a neighborhood that beckons with its character and allure. Traverse through its cobblestone streets, soaking in the essence of Rio’s artistic soul. Our journey continues to the vibrant Selaron Stairs, adorned with a kaleidoscope of colorful tiles, a testament to the city’s creative spirit. Gaze upon the sleek elegance of the Metropolitan Cathedral, an architectural marvel that embodies modern ingenuity.
A moment of serenity awaits at the Royal Portuguese Reading Room, a sanctuary of beauty and knowledge, acclaimed as one of the world’s most exquisite libraries.
The crescendo of your exploration culminates at the iconic Sugar Loaf. Ascend by cable car and behold the city’s panorama, a breathtaking tableau of urban brilliance entwined with the coastal allure of Rio.
As the day draws to a close, we ensure your return with a drop-off at the place you deem perfect. Your journey through Rio’s treasures, both celebrated and hidden, promises an experience that transcends the ordinary.

frequently asked questions
What are the preventive measures against covid-19 adopted on the tours? If I'm already vaccinated, do I need to follow them?
We have been following the safety measures recommended by WHO and OMT along with the city laws. Wearing face masks is not mandatory anymore but we recommend using them. All our guides and drivers are fully vaccinated and our vehicles are sanitized after tours.
What are the main attractions in Rio?
Rio has numerous natural, historical, and cultural attractions, so it is difficult to list them all. But without a doubt, the most important and famous are the Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Oh, and Copacabana and Ipanema beaches.
I don't know if I want to visit the places listed on the tour. Can I change itinerary?
Definitely! This is perhaps the main advantage of private tours, especially ours: flexibility. And these changes can be made even during the tour!
What is so interesting about Santa Teresa?
Santa Teresa is a very characteristic neighborhood, with many slopes and old buildings. There is the Parque das Ruinas (Ruins Park), from where you have a beautiful view of the city and the Guanabara Bay. A stop at Largo dos Guimarães to learn the history of the neighborhood and visit the local craft shops is also a good choice.
Regarding lunch, can I choose the restaurant? I don't want to go to a place just because you get a commission.
I know this happens a lot on tours but we do not take our customers to restaurants just because they commission us. We value quality and variety, as we want you to have an excellent experience. We have some suggestions, of course, but you can choose where you want to go.
My group has more than 4 people. How can I book?
In that case you can either book 2 or more tours for the same day or contact us for a special quote.
Will the tour be cancelled in case of bad weather?
We do not usually cancel tours due to bad weather. What we do is to adapt the itinerary or, if possible, change the date. If you cancel the tour less than 48 hours in advance, except in extreme cases, there will be no refund, as per our cancellation policies.
I am not sure if I feel safe booking on your website. How can I be sure that it's not a fraud?
We have a TripAdvisor profile and we are registered in the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism. But we understand your concern. There is a lot of scams on the Internet so if you don’t feel safe and/or comfortable booking directly on our website, we strongly recommend that you do on TripAdvisor. You can follow this link or search for ‘be free rio’ on their website. No matter the source of your booking we guarantee that you will have an unforgettable experience!
