    Plinio great guide. Good value tour. Saw most point of interest in Rio.

    We had Plinio as our tour guide for the Rio “Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch, and Hotel Transport”. Our small tour group had English, Spanish, and Portuguese speakers, but Plinio was able navigate between the 3 languages with no problem. Plinio made the group interaction fun, even across language barriers. He provided lots of good background info about the sites that we visited. With great coordination by Plinio, we were provided with ample time at each point of the tour, but also made good progress and stayed on time. Lunch was at an all-you-can-eat buffet place, self pay for drinks and dessert. Highly recommend Plinio and this tour. Also, very good value as the group was small (19), and that allowed for good interactions and fun.

    The emotions of Brazil.

    We visited Rio de Janeiro, Foz de Iguazu, Salvadodor de Bhaia, Recife and Porto de Galinhas. Nice experience, moments of real emotion, affordable costs for both taxis and food. Rio very clean contrary to our expectations. The only drawback is the 4 star Hotel Arena Copacabana. We were assigned an unproposable room, a real indecency even to propose it (n.411). If you happen to avoid absolutely. A closet suitable for cleaning trolleys, with a window facing directly and frontally on a wall, two/three meters away, which in addition to covering any view contained the hotel's air conditioning machinery. Imagine the noise. In short, dirty. Besides, the hotel had a receptionist who wasn't inclined to help you, which made the situation worse. In short, in our opinion hotel to avoid. For the rest Brazil is absolutely worth a trip. Incidentally, I have to say that we have not found any safety problems. If not have simple tricks, which is true a bit in all cities of the world, including Italy. Have a nice trip, everyone. Franc

    Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

    How much does Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport cost?

    +

    Prices start at $137 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 Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 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 Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport?

    +

    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 Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport?

    +

    Around 5 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day City Tour with Tickets, Lunch and Hotel Transport 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.
