Our tour, A Day in Rio with a Local, is a full-day city tour designed to give you the ultimate experience of Rio de Janeiro. This carefully curated itinerary takes you through the city's most iconic landmarks, blending must-see attractions with hidden gems that only locals know. Get ready to immerse yourself in the culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes of the “Marvelous City” in a way that feels authentic and unforgettable.
Your journey begins with a visit to Christ the Redeemer, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, accessed via the historic Corcovado Train, which ascends through the lush Tijuca Forest. From there, you will explore the charming artistic neighborhood of Santa Teresa, known for its colonial mansions, cobblestone streets, and vibrant cultural scene. Enjoy a delicious feijoada lunch at a traditional bar, savoring Brazil’s most beloved dish while soaking in the neighborhood’s bohemian atmosphere.
After lunch, stroll down the colorful Escadaria Selarón, a world-famous mosaic staircase that connects Santa Teresa to Lapa. Finally, visit the iconic Sugarloaf Mountain, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of Rio’s coastline. As the day winds down, you’ll head to Mureta da Urca, a local hotspot, to toast the sunset with a refreshing drink, ending your adventure just like a true carioca.

We did two tours with Rio Maximum. Both times the tour was well organized and guides were very friendly. The full day city tour was particularly good as we saw lots and had enough time in each spot to have a look around and take some pictures. Lunch buffet was also good but the restaurant was busy. Would recommend this company.

We booked a last minute custom group tour of Rio with this outfit and was very pleased. The agent I texted with,Diego, was super helpful with suggested several itineraries that fit our compressed schedule.And our guide, Eva, was especially delightful and generous with her knowledge of the city. And our driver Michael was efficient and courteous. Five BIG stars!

We were a family of 7 really enjoyed our trip including all highlights Christ, Sugar mountain, Selaron stairs....lunch was also good. Our guide was very helpful and patient as well as our driver. Thank you for a great day in Rio

Our family of 5 spent 2 days on a private tour arranged by Rio Maximo. They were super easy to work with, responsive, and delivered on their commitments. Our tour guide, Eva, was knowledgeable and very friendly. We had a wonderful time in Rio thanks to Rio Maximo tours, and would definitely use them again.

Reviewed by Mina M. The best Rio tours ever! We were a big group of over 30 people and Rio Maximo organized everything perfectly and delivered two amazing days. First trip was the full day in Rio going to all main places and it was one of the most amazing experiences of o my life. Rio is simply a majestic and gorgeous city with beautiful natural mountains. We also had a delicious lunch at an amazing Brazilian BBQ restaurant (Churrascaria). The second trip we had a Beaches day tour where we went to different beaches and had flex schedule and changed places to go per our request which was awesome. Thank you so much to the entire team for these two wonderful days in Rio de Janeiro. 🙏🏻🇧🇷🇺🇸
