A full day of attractions across Rio de Janeiro, including a favela tour with local guides! The friendliest tour in town: lots of places, an unhurried pace, plenty of treats and the best value.
A company built on genuinely local, experienced guides.
We offer the highest viewpoint and the best lookouts of any competing tour, plus a motorbike ride up into the favela (a van is also available).
We go up to the Christ statue only when visibility is good, adjusting the day's route around it so you get the best experience at Rio's most important viewpoint.
We also skip the lines when buying tickets, because a certified guide of the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism accompanies the group.

What travelers say
“A recommendation straight out of the movies!!! Listen to me carefully, the Rio Trip tour is the next big thing! We just came back from a tour of Rio de Janeiro with Benny Klein, an Israeli who has lived in Rio for 16 years and knows Brazil exceptionally well. The whole day was rich with first-rate explanations, tons of fascinating information about Brazil, Rio, carnival, the army, government, favelas, history and any topic you would want to know about. The tour includes the Christ statue, the Selaron Steps, the graffiti wall, the Santa Teresa neighborhood and a favela tour. We rode into the favela on motorbikes and walked back on foot through the alleys. During the trip we saw a carnival rehearsal and simply joined the dancing on the spot. Benny is a very professional and caring guide, funny, helpful, and answers every question kindly and pleasantly. Anyone who wants a quality, worthwhile and slightly more personal tour, Benny is the right guide.”
“Our greatest experience in Rio! A tour you must not miss! With a person who is truly an expert and keeps things fascinating throughout the whole tour! Warmly recommended!!!”
