This “Ultimate Rio Experience” is so much more than a tour, it’s a dive into the local culture. Start your Bom Dia (Good Morning) as you dive into Rio culture by heading to the World Cup Maracanã Stadium, home of the 2014 World Cup and the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Pass by the Sambadrome stadium to view the stage for the city’s glorious annual Carnival Parade. Head to the heart of the city and get a look at Metropolitan Cathedral with its unorthodox modern style based on the architecture of Mayan pyramids.
Continue to the world’s most beautiful staircase as you admire the intricate, colorful mosaic tile of the 215-step Selaron Staircase that was featured in the music videos of Snoop Dog and U2.
Take a break and relax with lunch at a local tavern where you will enjoy traditional Brazilian pastries, fresh juices and try the local popular beer.
No trip to Rio would be complete without a visit to the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, one of the 7 wonders of the world. Situated at the top of the 2,300 foot Corcovado Mountain, this pedestaled art deco statue of Jesus Christ stands 123 feet tall with 98 foot outstretched arms that symbolically hug the city and its residents below. You will also have the opportunity to board a glass-paneled cable car at the famed Sugarloaf Mountain for a bird’s-eye view of the Guanabara Bay before saying Boa Tarde (Good Afternoon) to this magical city.
Throughout the tour your expert guide will teach you key Portuguese phrases, introduce you to the local flavors and musical sounds of Brazil, and share fascinating traits of the Carioca people, letting you in on the secret of their contagious joy.
