Rio de Janeiro Tours and Trips 2024/2025

Rio de Janeiro is framed by majestic mountains of lush green that descend right down to its vibrant beaches. The unusual port of Rio de Janeiro opens up like a river mouth on the south Atlantic coast, where rock faces curl around the bay in a protective embrace. Washes of deep blues and greens are a feast for the eyes during the day. At night the glittering lights reflect off the water while an eternal samba beat thumps through the heart of the city. You do not want to miss this city on your trip to Brazil.

G, you've;ve done it again! You've made it so easy to see so many more sights than I would have been able to myself and allowed me to connect with people from all over the world. Life long memories were made.

4th Tour, 4th Amazing Adventure! I've been to Egypt, South Africa, GBTOUR, and the latest was Brazil/Iguazu. Expat caters to the exact type of traveler that I am. I want to see as much of the world as I'm able to and experience the local culture at a reasonable price. I'm not looking for luxurious hotels. That's not where I want to spend my time. I just want hotels that are clean, comfortable, in convenient locations, and safe; and that's what they deliver. Their tour guides are also very knowledgeable and personable! They really help to make the tour enjoyable. This trip started in Rio de Janiero then went to Paraty and Sao Paulo. From there we flew to Foz do Iguacu. A lot of sightseeing and some great dinners were included, plus there were optional tours. I went on most of them. Some of them seemed a bit expensive at first glance, but I think they were worth every dollar that I spent. It's also nice to not have to worry about making the arrangements or to wonder if the company I just paid money to is reputable. I saw everything that I wanted to see on this trip plus a lot of other things that I didn't even know I would enjoy so much. I almost always travel solo and have met some of the nicest people, of all ages, on Expat Explore tours. The majority are experienced travelers whose idea of travel is similar to mine. I've even kept in touch with a few of the people from each trip. I love Expat Explore's tours and highly recommend them.

Truly amazing! It has been my dream to travel to South America and after many cancelled plans due to covid, it completely exceeded my expectations. Every day of the tour was packed full of once in a lifetime activities. I've travelled to a few countries now and this was definitely my best trip so far. Our tour leader Zema did an excellent job at showing us an authentic insight into Brazilian and Argentinian culture. He was not only a good tour guide but also became a good friend. The activities were great, the food was great and the drinks were great. I would also like to give a shout out to Antonio and his family. He was a great tour guide and the dinner at his family house was one of the highlights of my trip (and most of us said this was also the best food we had in Brazil too!). Making our own caipirinhas and dancing was the perfect way to end the Brazilian part of our journey. We had quite a diverse group with many different interests and needs, and Zema did a brilliant job of keeping everyone safe and happy. I have attached some videos I made to capture our trip. I would highly suggest booking the Argentinian Falls and the Carnival Experience optional trips.

Rio de Janerio - Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

Travel Highlights

  • The Copacabana beach is a 4 km of pure energy on a stretch of sand that separates the city from the ocean, grab a caipirinha from a local vendor and watch the local kids show off their soccer skills or lay a towel down and soak up the Rio de Janeiro sunshine with some of the world’s most beautiful people.
  • Located atop Corcovado mountain, Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer) is a must-see. Take the cable train from Parque da Tijuca.
  • Experience Samba like never before at Pedra do Sal in the Saúde neighbourhood.
  • Reach the top of Pão de Açúcar at sunset for the best view of Rio around. The cable car there is an experience in itself.
  • For the best photo-opportunity in town, head to Lapa and climb Selarón’s mosaic stairway.

Travel Tips

  • If you plan to visit for Carnaval, book well in advance. Accommodation fills up quickly and prices are also higher at this popular time of year.
  • Buses are a common mode of transport, though if you want one to stop for you then you’ll have to wave it down. Yellow seats on buses are reserved for elderly, disabled or pregnant women - but tourists aren’t often aware of this!
  • If you’re on a budget, try some delicious Brazilian street food or opt for a ‘por quilo’ vendor where you pay per kilo.
  • Payments by card transactions are easy.
