Guided tours in Rio de Janeiro

Fascinating walks with a personal guide in Rio-de-Janeiro

Observation excursions in Rio-de-Janeiro

Time seems to be slowing down in Brazil. Gentle sun, incendiary rhythms, colorful neighborhoods, beaches strewn with flowers — there is always a risk to fall in love with the carefree Rio-de-Janeiro and stay for another month or two.

City is betting on natural beauty and folk culture. City is not lacking for neither natural beauty nor folk culture — you will learn more about this in the framework of excursions in English language, which include a visit to:

• Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado mountain;
• Sugarloaf Mountain (396 m);
• multicolored mosaic Selaron Steps;
• legendary Sambadrome square and the stadium with the funny name "Maracana";
• Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, which looks like a huge Indian pyramid, etc.

There are not many architectural attractions in Rio, but it is more than compensated special atmosphere and wild nature. Narrow streets, tiny coffeehouses, cheerful music and a lively buzz of voices — city is really very pleasant. Advice from Excurzilla: be sure to check out Confeitaria Colombo baker's shop, which has been operating since 1894!

Rio-de-Janeiro: city of contrasts

Humid tropical climate means that the palm trees on the streets of Rio grow by themselves, so walking around the city is a pleasure. You also need to go to the Botanical garden.

Guided city tour may include a visit to a strict business district, urban jungle, real jungle. The most desperate personal guide will reveal the world of famous favelas — deprived areas where still shoot at night.

The level of service and comfort in Rio is different from the European one, but so are the prices. And if you are well prepared, book accommodation in advance and plan an excursion program, then your vacation in Brazil will turn into the best adventure of your life.
