What you can expect

Discover Rio de Janeiro beyond the postcards on a fully personalized walking tour led by a knowledgeable local host. After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to help match you with someone who reflects your pace, interests, and travel style.

Your day begins in central neighborhoods or hillside enclaves like Santa Teresa, where cobbled streets wind past street art, historic homes, and peaceful squares. With no fixed route, your itinerary is shaped in real time—guided by your energy and curiosity.

Admire rooftop views over Guanabara Bay from Parque das Ruínas or stroll quiet trails through Parque Lage beneath the watchful silhouette of Christ the Redeemer. Your host may guide you through mosaic-covered alleys like the Selarón Steps, local artisan studios, or the breezy waterfront at Glória Marina, where locals gather under the trees.

Want to visit Christ the Redeemer. Your host can help you navigate the logistics (entry and transport not included). At every turn, your guide connects Rio’s landmarks with authentic, everyday moments rarely found in the guidebooks.

This experience is designed to be immersive, flexible, and rooted in local culture. Whether you linger in a leafy courtyard, browse a quiet market, or stop for coffee on a shaded side street, your host ensures every step reflects what matters most to you.
