“Our guide Emma was not only informative but enthusiastic and energetic. She was warm and professional and made us all feel welcome. It’s too bad she had to guide a large group as we would have like to have her as our private guide. I highly recommend Emma!”

2.Skip the Line to Christ Redeemer, Sugar Loaf and Barbecue Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 593 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $113

Spend about nine hours touring Rio by vehicle, cable car and cog train, with stops at Sugarloaf, Christ the Redeemer, the Metropolitan Cathedral and more. Choose an option with attraction tickets and barbecue lunch included, or buy tickets through your guide and arrange your own meal. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included.

“Our guide, Luis was a very nice person, spoke English very well. The pick-up was right on time. The lunch was an amazing one but for some reason, no drinks are included, not even water. The only downside was that the trip says its a train ride to the Christ The Redeemer but we were taken by an elevator probably because the queue for the train was a long one. But, I believe the Tour Organizers should anticipate this and promise only what they can deliver. Apart from this bummer, the tour went very well. They give you enough time to click pictures. :)”
