Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf – Iconic Treasures of Brazil

Your tour of Rio de Janeiro will begin with Fabio meeting you at a designated location. He is a local born and raised in Rio, so he is the perfect person for a private tour guide. Your first stop will be up at the Christ the Redeemer Statue, where you will see extraordinary views of the city, beaches, and the nearby mountains and hills.

Once you are by the statue, you will never want to leave, but Fabio will eventually manage to coerce you back into the vehicle so you can head over to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain. This mountain is considered the birthplace of this beautiful city and stands four hundred meters high. To reach the top, you must take the cable car, but during the ride, you will hear all the legends and stories of this cultural destination.

Santa Teresa: Rio de Janeiro’s Bohemian Paradise

You will have seen the two major attractions of this city at this point of your Rio de Janeiro shore excursion, but that doesn’t mean that your fun is over for the day! Fabio will take you to see the infamous Selaron Steps next, which are in an area that feels more like a smaller town instead of the massive city that Rio truly is.

Jorge Selaron created this fabulous work of art; every step is covered with tiles from countries worldwide. After seeing this magnificent staircase, you will have time to stop to get some lunch. Don’t worry; Fabio knows all the best restaurants within Santa Teresa and will share his secrets with you so you can have a delectable lunch before continuing your tour.

Lapa and Metropolitan Cathedral: Architectural Marvels of Rio’s Historic Heart

After lunch, you will meet back up with Fabio so he can take you to the infamous neighborhood of Lapa. This neighborhood is where bohemian carioca was created, and you will want to return later in the evening if you can because it has the best nightlife in the entire city.

Before leaving this part of Rio, you will be escorted to the Impressive Metropolitan Cathedral, constructed between 1964 and 1979. Three popes have spent time in this church over the years, and it is now considered one of the most important churches in the city.

The Spectacular Sambadrome: Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival Showpiece

The end of your Rio de Janeiro shore excursion will have you out on Sambrdromo, a samba catwalk. While this is a fantastic destination at any time of the year, the action occurs here when Carnival is going on. Carnival is generally during February; Fabio will tell you all the details when you arrive.

We offer the most comprehensive Rio de Janeiro shore excursion for cruise passengers. Fabio always provides the best for every one he takes to the city’s famous attractions. He gives everyone his undivided attention and will even go above and beyond by answering the many questions that most people have about the city, even though they are not directly related to the tour.
