Flavio was a great guide!...
Flavio was a great guide! Although the flog didn’t allow us to see the Cristo, only for few seconds…
Response from the operator: Many thanks for the lovely review. On the way back we've stoped in Ipanema...hope you've managed to buy your Havaianas! Have a safe trip back to Barcelona!

Absolutely Wonderful!
Flavio was a great, trustworthy, and friendly tour guide. He spoke excellent English and Portuguese which made the whole tour great! His tour includes taking the train up to the Christ the Redeemer which makes the entire tour around 2-3 hours, instead of the usual 4-5! This was a great tour to do, especially when wanting to fit in other excursions that day as well. This was my second time going to Christ the Redeemer and this time was more enjoyable as we didn’t spend as much time in line and looking for transportation on the way there/back. I truly recommend this tour to everyone, it was fantastic!
Response from the operator: I'm really happy you've enjoyed the tour! It was a great day indeed and we've managed to take lot's of pictures at the most visited attraction in Brasil: Christ the Redeemer. And by the end of the tour you chose to stay at the Sugarloaf, which is the second most visited attraction. Thank you for the great review!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer cost?
+
Prices start at $199 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 to Christ the Redeemer take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 to Christ the Redeemer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 to Christ the Redeemer?
+
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 to Christ the Redeemer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer 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.
What is included in Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer?
+
Included: Bottled water; Private driver/guide; Entrance fee to visit Christ the Redeemer; Transport by private vehicle; and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 4 listed pickup locations in and around Rio de Janeiro. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Tour to Christ the Redeemer?
+

+
