    A Garden Lover’s Paradise with a great guide

    A group of friends and I, had a wonderful time on our tour of sitio Burle Marx. Patrícia is a fantastic guide. Her enthusiasm for the gardens and house is contagious. Our tour included transportation from Leblon to and from the site which made the experience easy and fast. During the ride to the sitio, Patrícia gave us descriptions of where we were and brought books for us to review. It is a well thought experience from start to finish. The sitio is garden lovers paradise. Truly spectacular nature and gorgeous destination. Patrícia has been my guide for other city tours as well and I continue to choose her bc she is reliable, knowledgeable and her tours are fun. She loves Rio and it shows! I recommend to everyone who visits Rio.

    Response from the operator: Thanks Pamela, It was a pleasure to guide you and your friends at Sítio Roberto Burle Marx. :) Cheers.

    Highly knowledgeable and experienced guide

    I always feel safe with Patricia when I travel with her. She is trustworthy, always on time and a great communicator. Her tours are great value for money and she has very good attention to details on her tours. She offers a range of tours and activities in Rio and its surroundings, including lovely bike tours to the Flamengo parque, Lagoa, Jardim Botânico etc. She also offers trips to places like Ilha Grande, Búzios, Petrópolis and Fazenda Aliança etc. I can also highly recommend joining her to Sítio Burle Marx. She is knowledgeable about plants and knows every corner of Rio. A true Carioca.

    Response from the operator: Dear Mari, thanks for your feedback. It's really a pleasure to guide you and your friends. I wish all the best to you. :)

    Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,700 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 Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx?

    +

    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 Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx?

    +

    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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Landscape Experience in Rio: Inspired by Roberto Burle Marx 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, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included. 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.
