About this experience
Let us watch the most beautiful sunset in the amazing city of Rio de Janeiro! We offer you a different kind of tour that escapes from the common tourist attractions we have in town. We start the tour with pickup to take you to the Mureta da Urca, a hidden place with small bars, family restaurants and local boutique stores. Only locals go to that place to have a drink and meet nice and friendly folks. Our tour guide gives you a welcome drink or, to be more accurate, a welcome caipirinha, our national drink. From the Mureta da Urca, we can see the Christ the Redeemer, the Sugarloaf, the Flamengo Beach, the Botafogo Beach, and the whole extension of the Guanabara Bay. We walk around the area and take a seat for a little bit to witness the most beautiful sunset in Rio. All of that with the safety of having a tour guide to assist you and help with anything. Prepare your camera for great pictures, sit back and relax. Tour guide, roundtrip transfer included.

Enjoyable evening even without a sunset!
Marcos picked us up at our hotel. Even thought was cloudy and there was no sunset, he still made the outing enjoyable. Since it was just 2 of us and Marcos, he personalized the tour for us and drove us around to get oriented to Rio. Would highly recommend Marcos for any type of tour in Rio!

Impressive sunset
The place taken to wait for the sunset is full of people going there for the same thing. It’s very pretty. Our guide, Elio was very nice and funny, it was only us, Elio and the driver, who was very nice as well. There’s a place where they sell beer and empanadas, the empanadas very cheap and delicious and the beer very cold. It’s by the water, there were many boats and the view is beautiful. Elio sent us a video he took on his own the following day.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're very happy to hear that our guide's company helped to improve the experience and that you enjoyed the food! Here in Rio, we call the “empanada” a “pastel”, a classic snack! Oh, and how nice to hear that Elio sent you a video of the tour! Thank you for your kind words and your recommendation. If you're ever in the area again, we'd love to welcome you back for another unforgettable experience! Best regards!

Not much value for money
We spent £100 to be driven 15 mins with one drink to watch a sunset we could have seen for free. Although our guide was friendly and polite, for the money spent we could have taken an Uber and bought the drink ourselves for about £10 in total. The price for the activity should be reduced significantly.
Response from the operator: Hello! Thanks for your comment! We're sorry it wasn't what you expected, even though it was described on the platform. Definitely the experience of being with a professional guide, speaking in your language and at your disposal, is not equivalent to taking an uber. For this value, you don't pay only for transportation, but for the knowledge, safety, and precision that your experience will be smooth and hassle-free.

No good we left a day early
It wasn't what the hotel description was of the hotel no fridge, or microwave, the staff was good try to make our stay pledent, but the room was not what we booked
Response from the operator: For the thousandth time we have been receiving reviews that are not aimed at our establishment. Honestly, Tripadvisor has been losing a lot of credibility, we've already written to them and either we don't get any answers or vague and inconclusive answers. Tripadvisor has no evaluation criteria and causes us to be harmed by negative reviews that have nothing to do with us. We're sorry for what happened, but it wasn't with us. We are NOT a Hotel, we are a tourism agency that offers tours.

Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover the Best Sunset in Rio de Janeiro with Hotel pickup and drop-off start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
