 For long-distance trips, we may have to ask the state or federal road department authorization for taking open highways with big vehicles like vans and buses. Thus, in order to do that, it's required the list of all passengers and their passport or ID numbers at the time of the booking (send it via e-mail after the booking). Therefore, it’s extremely important to book tours with long-distance pick-ups or drop-offs with at least 24 hours in advance.

 If big vehicles like a van or a bus is traveling without the required documents and the police pulls it over, the trip cannot continue. 

 For local pick-ups or drop-offs like airport or nearby cities, there is NO need of such list and passport or ID numbers.

 Such requirement is not necessary for small vehicles like sedans, minivans and SUVs. 

 The tour guide themselves drive the vehicle in case of groups with up to four (4) people besides guiding and giving all the tour explanations. Groups bigger than four (4) people have also a private driver along with the tour guide.

 The assigned vehicle is according to the number of passengers for the tour. The vehicles are all fully-equipped and suitable to fit you and your group comfortably.

 Midsize sedans

 Minivans

 15-seater vans

 19-seater vans

 44-seater buses

 Count starts from the pickup moment, no matter where you are.

 If you are OUT OF or FAR from Rio de Janeiro, hire a number of hours taking into account the trip time to get to Rio de Janeiro from your place. E.G: If the pick-up location is in the city of Petropolis, and it takes about 1:30h to reach Rio de Janeiro from Petropolis, the number of hired hours should be at least 7 hours in total. It is because 1:30h to reach the city of the tour (Rio), 4 hours of actual city tour and sightseeing, and plus 1:30 h to be returned to the city of Petropolis if that’s your final drop-off location.

 If you are far or out of Rio de Janeiro and want to take this tour, as soon as you enter the "pick-up" and "final drop-off " locations into the respective fields, the system adds automatically the proper minimum amount of hours to cover the transfers to get you to and out of the city of the tour.

 The minimum amount of hours is not extremely accurate at the extent to take into consideration all of the unexpected elements that could cause delays like traffic, weather or long-distant pick-ups and drop-offs. So if you think the system does not calculate precisely the minimum amount of hours to cover the transfers plus the tour, you can adjust it increasing the number of hours in accordance with your interests. 

 The tour coverage depends on the number of hours hired by customers ranging from 8 to 10 hours, where in 10 hours you must pass by all or the majority of the suggested sights.

 The tour is designed to be dynamic, and cover as many sights as possible. So there are NOT too many stops in order to try to get the most out of your available time. The four (4) main stops should be the visits to "Christ The Redeemer", Sugar Loaf hill, walk around some sights in the historical downtown and stop for having lunch. The other suggested sights, the guide must pass by them and explain a little bit of the history or any curiosity behind it, and drive to the next in the list, unless tourists want to have a deeper understanding or more stops. 

 Tourists should have complete control of what to see and do during the tour. If you want more time for beach, relaxation, contemplation, exploration, pictures, museum, snacks or lunch, shopping or anything else, just give instructions to the guide of what your interests are.

 In case tourists want to have more stops for any reason or spend more time at a sight, it should impact on the tour coverage reducing the number of seen sights.

 The tour coverage depends on the tour rhythm as the guide goes at your pace, and also pretty much on the pick-up & drop-off locations.

 Other adversities may also slow down the tour progress such as traffic jam, and the group size that determines the size of the vehicle. Bigger vehicles assigned for bigger groups tend to be slower, and thus cover less ground and sights.  

 Just fill out the “PICK-UP” and “FINAL DROP-OFF” location fields to have the price for the tour guide to pick you up wherever you are, take you on the tour, and return you back to your place afterwards. The booking system may automatically reject too long-distance pick-ups & drop-offs, as the tour may NOT be worth taking because of the trip time to the city of the tour. In this case, you can either select closer locations or get in touch with us for options.

 For pick-ups within the city of Rio, 8 hours should work well for a sum-up, and up to 10 hours if your intention is to have a broader idea of it.

 4 hours of "tour guide & vehicle availability" should be only for those who are in Rio de Janeiro, but don't have too much time.  

 For pick-ups OUT OF or FAR from Rio de Janeiro, from 50 to 100 KM distance, it's advisable to book between 8 to 10 hours, considering that's about 1:00 to 1:30 h driving trip to Rio de Janeiro from your place. E.G. Booking 8 hours, you should have effectively about 4 to 5-hour tour in Rio de Janeiro as 2 to 3 hours will be used for the round trip transfers. This is recommendable for cities like Teresópolis, Petrópolis or others.

 For pick-ups from 30 to 50 KM distance from Rio de Janeiro, it's a good idea to start with 8 hours of "tour guide & vehicle availability" to have affectively 4 to 5 hours tour. This is recommendable for Niterói and other cities within metropolitan area of Rio. 

 If you want to have a break for a proper lunch at a restaurant, it should also be taken into account in order to select the right number of hours that the tour guide is going to be at your availability.

 It's advisable to take this tour between 7:00 AM 18:00. At 7:00 is a good time for starting the tour as the major touristic attractions begin operating at 8:00 AM. 

 It's also a good idea to avoid getting around in Rio de Janeiro in the rush time on weekdays between 18:00 and 20:00 as traffic is awful.

 Yes, but activities to do in Rio at night are completely different from day activities. 

 Yes, always. Sometimes, other than the tour guide, there is also a driver depending on the number of people.

 This tour is not aimed to get into museums and sights that charge admission fees unless tourists wish to attend them. 

 The guide may decline to participate in high-priced activities that fall out of the scope of a regular tour such as going to fancy restaurants or anything out of a standard tour. In these cases, if customer wishes to have the guide as a permanent companion, the guide’s expenses should be covered by the customer. Otherwise, the guide must wait for the customer just nearby to continue on the tour afterwards. 

 All tour guides have complete knowledge about the city sights, culture, history, and social-economic aspects of Rio de Janeiro and Brazil. Some guides are experts on architecture, street art, music, local crafts and design, fashion, cycling, hiking, photograph, business, sports, LGBTQ culture, nature, religion, shopping, gastronomy, art, nightlife, and other topics.
