4.Rio: Christ Redeemer by Train & City Highlights Morning Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 74 reviews · 5 hours · from $92

Spend five busy hours seeing Rio’s essential sights by air-conditioned bus and Corcovado Train. You’ll visit Christ the Redeemer, Selarón Steps, the Cathedral, Sambódromo, and Maracanã with a multilingual guide such as João or Alberto.

“The tour was very basic, with little time spent at each highlight. For the price, I expected a more in-depth experience. It felt more like a transport service between attractions, with minimal guidance. Some basic information was shared in the van, but overall, we were mostly left to explore on our own. You could easily do the same itinerary using Uber and a guidebook.”
