Following we will then visit the São Bento Monastery. A place of monastic simplicity that is one of the most beautiful architectural complexes in Brazil where there is a surprising contrast between the austere, purposefully simple appearance of the exterior and the richness of the interior highlighting gilded Baroque engravings with plants motifs. See for yourself the exuberant Rococo style in the engraving on the high altar, followed by a view of the dome and the Chapel of the Santíssimo Sacramento.
Duration: 25 minutes

From the very start of the trip Sandra was friendly and informative, helping us understand the culture and history of Rio. Clearly proud of her home city but honest in describing many aspects. Although a long day, well worth it to take in the popular attractions in a limited time, and Sandra was great at ensuring we all got the photos we wanted to remember this amazing trip. The coach was comfortable and Lino our driver was superb. Great way to learn about Rio and be with a safe and organised group, just enough time at everything, huge thank you Sandra and Lino
Highly recommended,our tour guide Kiko is informAtive.very good tour package.we started at christ the redeemer and it was good..then we went to sugarloaf mountain and its worth taking.then we went for lunch in ipanema and food is delicious..after lunch we went to macarana stadium,then we went to place for carnival,,then we went to churches and catherdral and we went to Lapa..it was fun adventure,,i will recommend this..
Kiko was great. Perfect orientation to Rio. He gave a lot of personal attention to each of us. .....
If you visit Rio de Janeiro, this tour is an absolute must. Sergio was our tour guide for 9 hours, and he was amazing. He's so knowledgeable and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great tour. The tour includes the main sites every visitor should see but adds sites that are "off the beaten path." Another added touch is the Brazillian lunch which gives you a real "taste" of Brazil but a chance to get to know other tourists visiting from other parts of the world.
The guide - Margot - was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. It was a great experience and a good worth of the money.
Thank you to our guide Bruno who was incredible through out our tour,very knowledgeable on all points,timing was perfect to avoid crowds and got us the best photos Couldn't recommend this tour enough!!
Sergio our guide and Flávio the driver were excellent, entertaining and so knowledgable. Our small group gelled from the start which led to an extrenyenjiyable day
I had the time of my life on this tour. Sergio was a great guide, the group was small - 7 people, we have covered all that was promised in the programme and had a fantastic time. After reading precious reviews, I was not sure whether I will want to have lunch at the suggested restaurant as some people said it was expensive, but the place where we went was good - I paid less than 15 EUR for a buffet style lunch and a bottle of coke, which wasn't bad at all. The lunch included unlimited Brazilian barbeque made in front of you - so it was definitely worth it the money. Thank you Sergio and Flavio the driver!
This tour is absolutely recommended. We start at the morning to avoid the queues line, and it's really comfortable. Carmen as our tour guide so communicative, gave so much information about Rio and all the attractions. She is so lovely guide and very helpful
Sandra picked us up at another hotel But that was fine . We than left early @7 and met wonderfull sandra and it was a beautiful experience. Amazing and best
I enjoyed the tour overall. I would have liked more details about the city while we were driving through the city.
Bruno, our guide was excellent! Very good English and excellent knowledge. He was also very helpful in advising people on the trip. Highly recommend him.
It was an full experience of Rio Indeed with an happy and positive guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone especially if you do not have alot of time in Rio.
