Rio Express - Christ the Redeemer & Sugarloaf Mountain
Overview
Get picked up from your hotel and drive up to the Christ the Redeemer Statue - one of the New Seven Wonders of the World - on top of Corcovado Mountain. The drive is short and beautiful, traveling through the Tijuca Forest before opening up to incredible views of the entire city.
Then go to Sugarloaf Mountain, located in the Urca neighborhood. Ride a series of 2 cable cars en route to the summit, first arriving at Urca Hill, and then continuing to the top of Sugarloaf, reaching a height of 1, 295 feet (395m). Conclude the tour with an exquisitely beautiful panorama of Rio de Janeiro.
The very best of Rio for those with little time.

Excellent tourist guide we hv there. She can speak almost all key language. She explain all insight information. The group joining me which is from US, UK and Spain was very friendly. This is the moment that i wont forget. There always room for improvement, i would suggest for tour guide to provide something like true Brazilian fruit punch after or in between the visit especially during hot day. Brazil is very famous with fresh and veriety of fruit. A little investment will really nails the entire experienceThis tour was a great way to get a taste if the city. Adriano was fun, informative, and really knows his way around the Rio. I would be happy to take another tour with him if I was staying in Rio for longer and will refer him and this tour to others.

This tour was a great way to get a taste if the city. Adriano was fun, informative, and really knows his way around the Rio. I would be happy to take another tour with him if I was staying in Rio for longer and will refer him and this tour to others. This was a perfect way to spend my free half day in Rio.Lovely sites to take small children to. The only thing my daughter (4 yrs old) did not like was how long we stsyed at each attraction. Factor in attention span of small children and I'm sure they will have a lovely time, especially on the cable car (sugar loaf mountain).

We opted for the early morning Christ the Redeemer and Sugerloaf Mountain tour. Carlos Adriano Souza was our guide. We had a small group of two families (3 and 4), so the experience and personalization was excellent. The late winter weather was finicky. When we headed up to Christ the Redeemer, it was partly cloudy but visibility was good. By the time we arrived, the cloud was blowing through. It did make for some less common pictures of Christ. We still got the beautiful panorama view of Rio lower down. Sugarloaf was clear and hot. Perfect! Carlos was a very informative and hospitable guide. Our family enjoyed our time with him and learned many facts and factoids with him. Thank you for a great intro to Rio!had a lovely friendly gentleman called Edward as my guide he was very informative about the old /new buildings we passed by whilst driving I learnt alot today . the good thing about this trip is we avoided long queues and it wasn't too overcrowded as we went early in the morning the views were am...
had a lovely friendly gentleman called Edward as my guide he was very informative about the old /new buildings we passed by whilst driving I learnt alot today . the good thing about this trip is we avoided long queues and it wasn't too overcrowded as we went early in the morning the views were amazing from sugerloaf mountain. so make sure your camera/mobile is fully charged. the cable ride is good with amazing views of copacabana beach and the surrounding city. Next was to corcovado. plenty of steps to walk up to so be warned but once you reach the top your greeted by such beauty that is christ the redeemer the climb is worth it . The views below are breathtaking along with this great big statue. I highly recommend this trip it is so worth it and if you get edward as your guide then you will have struck gold .
