    As soon as I opened the portal and saw the tour to visit Rio de Janeiro, don't hesitate to book it. And just as I had my idea, it was spectacular, magnificent, incredible. They have beautiful beaches, the people have that Latin American humor that I love. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to do something again with this excellent company.

    Julia

    Asked on June 7th, 2025

    Is there a time period that we should arrive at the airport and depart the airport or do you operate 24/7? And just checking that the airport I should arrive at has airport code GIG. When you ride the cable car up to Sugarloaf Mountain do you spend time at both Urca and Pao de Acucar hills to admire the view and if so approximately how much time at each? When you stop at the Metropolitan Cathedral do we get to go into it? Do we get to climb the Selaron Staircase, even part way? Do we get to walk around the jungle at all and the botanical garden on day 3? Lastly, do you have a tour that would take me to a futbol match at the Maracana stadium and if so what dates are the matches held?

    Transport
    • Signature DMCOperatorWritten June 2025

      We operate 24/7 for transfers. The international airport is Galeão – Tom Jobim (GIG). The tour usually makes a brief stop at both Urca and Sugarloaf hills. The visit to Sugarloaf typically takes a minimum of 2 hours. The Metropolitan Cathedral and Sambadrome are included as stops. The Cathedral includes an interior visit. The Selarón Steps are also visited, with time for a short walk and photos. The visit to the Botanical Garden and Tijuca Forest includes walking along trails and some viewpoint stops. We do not sell tours that include football match tickets.

      Julia

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Would it be possible to stay an extra night or 2 so that I could have one or 2 free days? Could you organize an extra night or 2 at the hotel for me or would I do that myself? Would you still drive me back to the airport a day or 2 later?

    • J

      Julia

      TravelerWritten June 2025

      I would like to take the tour commencing on July 23rd, 2025 and ending with a ride back to the airport on July 26th, 2025. I would like to spend an extra 2 nights in Rio which would be the nights of the 26th and the 27th of July, 2025, with a ride back to the airport on July 28th, 2025. Would you let me know the difference in pricing for the extra 2 nights in the hotel and how I would pay for those extra 2 nights? Will I have to pay the Hotel California a resort fee directly to the hotel when there?
