Rio de Janeiro · CHRIST THE REDEEMER & CORCOVADO
32 reviewed
The statue is the easy part; getting up there without losing half a day to queues is the whole trick. These are the Christ the Redeemer and Corcovado tours worth booking — which use the cog train and which the official vans, which start early enough to beat the haze, what each costs, and which ones fold in Sugarloaf and a churrasco lunch so a first day sorts itself.
Ride Corcovado through Tijuca Forest to Christ the Redeemer, with museum access and Rio views. 1-day ticket.
“Recommend getting your tickets in advance as you get to skip the queues!”
Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf, Selarón Steps plus Maracanã and Sambódromo views, ending with a rodízio BBQ lunch and hotel pickup.
“Our tour guide was super friendiy and helpful. The tour was very interesting, the only downside was that Cristo Redentor statue wasn't visible due to bad weather, but it not something you can change. My only suggestion is maybe to include a short tour, 20min or so, inside Maracana stadium.”

“It was ok only. It took hours to wait for the bus and we took round for 3 times i think. I was expecting that escardia selaron, santa teresa will be included. And the due to long hours in Ipanema after lunch, we had a few hours only in christ the redeemer which i expect that we will spend 45-1 hour there.”

“My wife tripped over a step on Sugarloaf not badly hurt but shaken. Renato could not have been more helpful enabling us to complete the tour using a wheelchair where necessary. He also provided knowledgeable comments throughout the tour showing off the incredible beauty of Rio. He is a credit to the company and the City”

“We loved our guide and enjoyed doing the full day trip! It was set up great with the bus and our guide getting the tickets at each stop and giving us history. Lunch was good too! Unfortunately both Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf were both clouded in, however this was just bad luck weather wise for us. I highly recommend this tour!”

“Daniel was an amazing tour guide! One of the best tour guides I’ve had during my travels. Kind, thorough and efficient. He spent so much time giving us well thought out histories and the impact the history has on Brazilians today. He also took our questions seriously and answered them thoroughly and kindly!
