Our Tour will take you around Uruguaiana Street so you can see our open market, the most famous and cheap in Rio, then we'll take you around historical streets where you'll see museums, churches and other famous historical buildings, you'll see our Cathedral and have a small cofee break at one of the oldest Cafés in Rio, the Confeitaria Colombo.

Sugar Loaf

History, the begining of the city, everything you will not want to miss!

Check out the top of the Sugar Loaf Mountain with me as I'll take you to a grand voyage into the year of 1565 when Rio de Janeiro was finally founded as a City.

Look around to see Niterói and a lot of the most famous neighborhoods of Rio!

Corcovado by Bus

Not only will you get to learn the history behind this magnificent wonder but you will also ride on a bus that takes you by the most famous Rio beaches directly to the Corcovado's station. Learn a little bit of each neighborhood you see from the top and on the way there and a bit of our way of life.

Enjoy a café on the top of the Corcovado and move on to a small hidden place called "Largo do Boticário" where you can go back in history and visualize what Rio was on the 19th/20th Century.

About the Project

I am now joining with friends that have graduated together with me to begin a new tour idea:

Do it all like a Carioca would.

Ride on buses and the subway, got to a Samba Rehearsal, Maracanã, Christ, Sugar Loaf. All just the way we do it.

It is dynamic, and altough it may take some energy you have a million times more opportunities for the perfect photos you'd like to take home!

It is, also, enriching because you have the opportunity to touch history and walk on it and not just see it from inside a bus.

If you would like to try it you can contact me by email: julianariotour@gmail.com.
Also you can leave a comment here if you'd preffer.
