Rio is a fabulous city and we were there on Easter morning. We've been before so we visited the Christ the Redeemer again and went to the newest museum, Museum of the Future. Fabulous!! ...
Terrific views of the City. Beat all the queues with our guide.
Separately and on our own went up Corcovado, no problems. Also Botanical Gardens, interesting but NO FLOWERS. Ferry to Nireroi across Guanabara Bay, views good. Used Ferries, Metro and Buses, cheap and good experience. Lots of rough sleepers in Rio, reminded us of India. ...
enjoyed time on our own for one day and then we debarked the following morning. We have been to Rio before and had seen all the high spots. On debarkation day, we hired a guide Daniel Cabral to take us to Niteroi and to some local hot spots in old town and downtown Rio. He dropped us off at the Copacabana Marriott at the end of our tour. ...
