Rio de Janeiro Private Custom Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems

The journey, in full

Your host guides you through both iconic and hidden parts of the city, adapting the route to your interests. Here's an example of what your day might include: Step into this quiet oasis where jungle paths wind past tiled courtyards and crumbling stone. The distant silhouette of Christ watches from above as you follow shaded trails or rest beneath the palms. Ascend Corcovado by train or van (fare not included) to admire Rio's most famous statue. Your host will share its history and symbolism while you take in sweeping views. Wander this hillside neighborhood where quiet streets curve past murals and leafy enclaves. Your host might lead you toward tucked-away studios or suggest a pause in a peaceful spot. Explore the remains of a mansion turned cultural space, then climb to rooftop platforms for panoramic views over Guanabara Bay and the city below. See this world-famous mosaic staircase from a quieter lane, spotting tiles from around the world without the crowds.
