Eduardo is amazing!!!
Eduardo was absolutely amazing and made our walking tour in Rio such a wonderful experience! He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and genuinely passionate about the city. You could really see how much time and effort he had put into preparing everything and making sure we had the best possible experience. He knows the history of Rio incredibly well and explained everything in such an interesting and easy-to-understand way. We also felt very safe and comfortable with him, as he knew exactly what we needed to know and always guided us with confidence. What we appreciated most was how flexible he was. He really listened to what we wanted and adapted the tour so that we could have the experience we were looking for. His English is fluent, and of course he is a native Portuguese speaker, which made communication effortless. We enjoyed the tour so much that we actually booked another tour with Eduardo for the following day! We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Rio. If you want a knowledgeable, friendly, trustworthy and genuinely caring guide, Eduardo is definitely the person to choose!

Fantastic guide and tailor-made experience!
We had a fantastic day with Eduardo in Rio! His knowledge of the city, its history, culture and local life was incredible, and he shared so many interesting insights in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. We learned so much while still having a relaxed and enjoyable day. What really stood out was how flexible and accommodating he was. The tour was completely tailor-made around our interests, and he was happy to adjust the itinerary and pace as we went along. Eduardo is a great guide and made our day in Rio really special. Thank you Eduardo!!

Great day in Rio
Rio is a very large, spread out city so you must have a tour if you want to have any semblance of the city, its culture, history etc. Eduardo was our guide and I cannot say enough good things. He was planning our itinerary days in advance. He put a lot of thought and effort into ensuring that we enjoyed Rio and saw many different aspects of the city and culture. Also, he is a very lovely person, easy to speak with, makes you feel like you are touring the city with a friend. Eduardo’s English is perfect so you won’t have an issue understanding each other. After the tour, he sent us great recommendations for restaurants and even made reservations for us. I highly recommend this tour and especially if you secure Eduardo as your guide.

Super flexible!
Eduardo was very accommodating of our needs and was also super flexible. My father just had a broken leg and could not walk too fast, so we took our time walking or took alternative transportation modes (Uber, subway, tram) and stopped for snacks along the way. He also accommodated our dietary preferences/restrictions. Thank you for showing us your city!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 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 Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour)?
+
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 Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour)?
+
Around 3 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rio De Janeiro: Custom Walking Tour With A Guide (Private Tour) 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.
