Excellent tour guide
My sister and I spent half a day touring with Mariana while visiting Rio. The tour was arranged through a third party travel agency in Australia. We both enjoyed discovering the Santa Teresa area with her. Very knowledgeable, friendly and tailored the tour somewhat to suit our needs. I enjoyed tasting the açai and riding on the tram. She dropped us off at Ipanema Beach as we had requested and recommended a lovely restaurant opposite the beach to enjoy lunch. Highly recommend!

The Only Tour Guide You Need In Rio
Mariana, she's simply the best! She was so accommodating, friendly, knowledgable, and sweet. She simply just gave the best introduction to Rio. It seems like she knows everyone in Rio too. She was also sweet enough to able to get tough to get tickets for a Flamengo game, and she also joined us. I don't think there's a bigger Flamengo fan in the world. She's a great ambassador for Brazil, Rio, and Flamengo. Do yourself a favor and just take the tour with her, I guarantee you will have a great time because Mari is the best, hands down!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable?
+
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 Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour in Rio - All Day, Fully Customizable 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.
