A must do tour for cruise passengers!
We had an incredible tour with Flávio. He made sure we made the most of our day with him with an amazing itinerary which included Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer as well as many other places of interest. Compared to other advertised tours we saw so much more in the day and it’s a much more personalised service. This tour is perfect for cruise visitors. Flávio’s tour includes transfers to and from the ship and his communication beforehand was excellent. His knowledge of Rio de Janeiro was incredible and we learnt so much. This was not only an incredibly interesting tour but also highly educational. Flávio’s English vocabulary was exceptional and we felt very safe under his care. He really took time out to explain everything. I would have no hesitation using Flávio’s services again and I would recommend him without hesitation.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review here on Viator / TA. We've had a great time indeed. We not only visited the Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer, but also Maracana soccer stadium (pictures from outside), Sambodrome, Downtown Rio, Copacana, Ipanema and Leblon beaches. With a great finish at Leblon Lookout Point where you all had a fantastic caipirinha! (You've also tried açaí!) All the best to you all!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain cost?
+
Prices start at $345 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 Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain?
+
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 Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain?
+
Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour from Cruise Ship Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain 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.

+

+
