Save yourself hours of planning on a tour of Rio de Janeiro that includes admission tickets, transportation, and hotel pickup for the ultimate experience of the "Marvelous City." Rather than navigating public transport in an unfamiliar city, travel around the city in air-conditioned comfort and benefit from the insider knowledge of your guide. Choose from two options: a shorter tour with just Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, or a longer tour that also includes other Rio highlights such as the Selaron Steps and Cathedral, plus a buffet lunch.
