Guided Botanical Garden and Parque Lage tour in Rio: royal palm photos, English and Japanese gardens, monkeys, and hotel pickup for $72.
“Our guide, Leandro, was prompt, willing and knowledgeable. He obviously had an enthusiasm for the Gardens and enjoyed sharing this with us.”
3 hours with a local guide in Rio’s Botanical Garden and Parque Lage under Corcovado, including hotel transfers and plant-filled walks.
“Renata, our guide is knowledgeable and lovely. She is well informed about all of the historical and cultural backgrounds of the Park Lage and the gardens. The photos she took of us are amazing. We love this trip and it shows in every picture. We highly recommend Renata and this trip.”
A 5-hour Rio eco tour combining Tijuca Forest waterfalls, Rio Botanical Garden, and Parque Lage mansion photos near Christ the Redeemer.
“We had a great experience with our tour. Our tour guide was great! He was friendly and caring. We had a great time!”
Private 4-hour photo tour combining Rio’s Botanical Garden and Parque Lage, with hotel pickup and a high-resolution digital photo album.
“Renata was waiting for us in the hotel lobby as our port to hotel transfer did a no-show. She was patient, polite and did what she could to help us get out of a state of chaos. The bus that took us to the botanical garden was large and comfortable. On our way, Renata's appreciation for Rio exuded as she explained the uniqueness of Rio. Although we had a 90 year old grandma, a senior that required wheelchair assistance and 2 kids ages 8 and 3, everyone had a relaxing time. Lastly, we received a DVD the following day as promised. I would recommend her high caliber service to anyone.”
Guided hike from Parque Lage through Tijuca Rainforest to Christ the Redeemer, with optional South Zone pickup and wildlife.
“Empezamos en el parque Lage y el guía me llevo a sitios de interés antes de empezar la subida al Cristo. Pude ver unos minutos y al escurridizo perezoso xD. Hubo partes empinadas, pero con calma y sin apuro se llegó a la cima. Al llegar a la cima, tomar fotos y comer un poco antes de hacer la bajada. La bajada muchísimo más fácil :)”
Full day Rio trip with Christ the Redeemer tickets, Selaron steps, Santa Teresa, Parque Lage, and downtown sights, with pickup and a small group.
“My husband and I did the Full Day Tour with João (guide) and Marcelo (driver). They picked us up at 7:50am at our hotel and we started off the tour at Christ The Redeemer, where we took some amazing photos and enjoyed some great views. Then we headed to Selaron steps, Metropolitan Cathedral, Municipal Theater, Cinelândia, Downtown, Sambódromo, Maracanã, and Parque Lage. This was all in one day! I don't know how they managed to get us to so many places in one day, and I applaud their hard work. I found we had plenty of time to sightsee at each location and to take all the photos we wanted.…”
Sunset in Rio with Parque Lage, Selaron Steps, Mirante Dona Marta, and a train ride up to Christ the Redeemer for panoramic views.
“Stop and book your all your tours with Ederson! We had so much fun and tours was phenomenal. Ederson energy and love for his city is amazing! Our family had a blast and learned so much about Rio. Sunset tour at Christ Redeemer was awe-inspiring. Ederson captures the most amazing photo moments. Book your trips here. You will not regret it.”

“Alan was flexible and helpful in all ways. He worked hard to show us interesting and important places in Rio. His vehicle accommodated the three of us and our luggage. His commentary was thoughtful and amplified the places we visited. He is easy to understand and has excellent English skills. He chose a wonderful place for our lunch. This was a superb tour!!”
