Very good
Toue was great . Seeing petropolis was amgreat visiting the museum and palace. Lunch was very good . Tour guide was excellent speaking in English partd just for me as was only English person Last stop was way too long at chocolate shop

It was nice to get out of the big city Rio for a day. Learned some history too.
Julio was very good. He has to handle our group in 3 languages and he did it well. Due to the number of people and explaining everything in 3 languages it took little longer time than we expected to complete the tour. In my opinion the last stop the chocolate place could have avoided to save time.

Petropolis the best!
--- I just wanted to say thank you again, Julio, for the amazing tour in Petrópolis. You were excellent—funny, knowledgeable, and very patient, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The driver was also excellent, and everything felt safe, smooth, and well-organized. I really loved Petrópolis and will definitely come back. I’ll also be recommending you to others. Thank you again for such a great experience!

Fantastic tour with Giovanna – professional, fun, and dedicated!
We had a wonderful day in Petrópolis with Giovanna as our guide. She was funny, energetic, and truly professional. Even though most of the group were Portuguese speakers, she made sure to explain everything in English as well, always with patience and a smile. We never felt left out – her dedication to making sure everyone understood the history was impressive. One small issue: the bus was supposed to pick us up at 8:00 AM but was delayed by half an hour due to unforeseen circumstances with previous passengers. However, Giovanna kept us updated and handled the situation very well. Once we got going, the tour was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend Giovanna – she made the history of Petrópolis come alive!

Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $62 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 Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 110 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 Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch?
+
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 Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch?
+
Around 39 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch 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, Favela Tour Rio de Janeiro - Vidigal Walking Tour by Russo Guide. 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.
