Overview

A quick tour in Rio de Janeiro visiting the two most famous landmarks: the Christ the Redeemer Statue and Sugarloaf Mountain. Get picked up from your hotel and drive up to the Christ the Redeemer Statue - one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - on top of Corcovado Mountain. The drive is short and beautiful, traveling through the Tijuca Forest before opening up to incredible views of the entire city. Then go to Sugarloaf Mountain, located in the Urca neighborhood. Ride a series of 2 cable cars en route to the summit, first arriving at Urca Hill, and then continuing to the top of Sugarloaf, reaching a height of 1,295 feet (395m). Conclude the tour with an exquisitely beautiful panorama of Rio de Janeiro. The very best of Rio for those with little time.

Half Day Rio tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Wonderful experience with very efficient and knowledgeable guide, Renato Marinho. Express half day tour was perfect length and going in morning meant shorter queues and better weather. Redeemer is very crowded but Sugarloaf was a lot more quiet.

A++

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and organized. He kept the group informed and on-time while also being warm and friendly. He also seamlessly spoke to the group in both Portuguese and English. Christ the Redeemer is a beautiful sight to see and well worth the time. Seeing the city from that high up was a treat. Rio truly is an amazingly beautiful city and can’t wait to come back.

Great for solo travelers

Published on Nov, 2023

Really enjoyed this tour. Got to see a bunch of the great tourist spots Rio offers from Christ the Redeemer to Sugarloaf mountain, and all the beaches. The tour guide was great. Had a lovely day.

Monica was a great tour guide

Published on May, 2023

This tour was incredible! My tour guide Monica Bertazzolo was phenomenal! She had to speak like 5 different language fluently to keep everyone engaged and informed. She made sure we got thru the sites safely and efficiently. She was kind enough to take photos for me and everyone else to make sure we got the good photos at the Christ the Redeemer monument. Excellent tour, very well done. Would highly recommend anyone who visits Rio to do this tour where you see both Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer on the same morning, particularly with Monica.
