We had an incredible experience touring Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain with JAL. Everything was well-organized from start to finish, making it easy to enjoy two of Rio’s most iconic landmarks. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the timing of the tour allowed us to make the most of each stop. These attractions are consistently rated among the top experiences in Rio by travelers.  JAL was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, sharing interesting information about the city and making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. We never felt rushed, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. If you’re visiting Rio de Janeiro and want a hassle-free way to see Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, I highly recommend booking a tour with JAL. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Great introduction to Tijuca Forest. Our guide Lucas was very knowledgeable about the plants ans animals there, so he made the trip really enjoyable ! Unfortunately for us, we didn't see many wildlife there, but the cave and waterfall made it worthwhile !

Had an amazing trip with Lucianna our tour guide. She was great on explaining every single thing. She also made us try some local delicacies like the cheese bread and guarana drink! As my parents was a very religious catholic, she even brought us to beautiful churces in Sta Teresa and even managed to attend a small mass. We had also a lucky opportunity to experience the singing of a band in the escadaria selaron whilst we were there. Such an amazing experience. Highly recommended! Obrigado Brazil!

I went on a Rio day tour, but the weather really didn't cooperate. 😭 It was raining, and the fog was so thick that I could barely see Christ the Redeemer or Sugarloaf Mountain. I was so disappointed I couldn't get any good photos, but despite that, this tour was satisfying purely thanks to our guide, Letícia! The gloomy weather could have dampened our spirits, but Letícia continuously uplifted us with her uniquely bright energy. She enriched the obscured views with fascinating history and behind-the-scenes stories, and she even showed the flexibility to adjust our itinerary to indoor spots or charming cafes to escape the rain. Although I didn't get to see Rio's magnificent views, meeting such an excellent guide as Letícia left me with truly warm and enjoyable memories. I highly recommend Guide Letícia! ♥️

Very good stay. The room I booked had 1 double bed and 1 single bed, the bathroom was very clean with a great, hot shower, there's a mini-fridge, and the air conditioning is excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast is excellent, they even have pudding, and it's also close to everything (bar, Lapa, Glória market, bakery, subway, pharmacy, etc.). It met my needs very well.

Plan ahead so you don’t miss out

What to know before visiting Rio de Janeiro

Quick snapshot of Rio de Janeiro’s offerings

Rio de Janeiro draws most Klook bookings for tours, museums and cultural experiences, with events and cable car rides also popular. Demand varies through the year, producing a clear high season in April and much lower interest around August.

Best times to visit and how prices move

According to Klook booking data, April is the peak month for demand while August sees the weakest demand. Price data shows the cheapest typical prices tend to appear in July, while February (per Klook data) is usually the priciest month. Prices and demand don’t always move together here: the busiest month (April) is not the priciest—some of the highest typical prices occur in February—so you can sometimes find lively crowds without the very highest prices. For smaller crowds and lower typical prices, aim for July or August; for peak-season atmosphere, plan for April.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers from the United States tend to book about three days ahead on Klook, though same-day bookings are possible and some travellers book earlier up to about three weeks in advance. If you’re flexible you can arrange many activities at short notice; if you’re visiting in April, consider booking sooner rather than later to secure tours and popular experiences. Use Klook to compare available tours and experiences and lock in the ones that suit your schedule.
