When planning a trip, one often has to choose between joining a group tour or opting for a private tour. While group tours can be fun and cost-effective, private tours offer a range of benefits that can significantly enhance your travel experience. Below are some of the key advantages of choosing a private tour for your next adventure.
PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE
One of the greatest benefits of a private tour is the ability to tailor the experience to your personal interests and needs. Unlike a group tour that follows a set itinerary, a private tour allows you to customize your schedule, choosing the sites you want to visit and the activities you wish to engage in. This flexibility ensures that you only spend time on experiences that truly interest you.
EXCLUSIVE ACCESS
Private tours often provide exclusive access to certain attractions and experiences that are not available to larger groups. Whether it's an after-hours museum visit, a private wine tasting at a vineyard, or a behind-the-scenes tour of a historical landmark, private tours can offer unique opportunities that enhance your travel experience.
QUALITY TIME WITH LOVED ONES
Traveling with family or friends is a wonderful way to create lasting memories. On a private tour, you can enjoy the company of your loved ones without the distractions or interruptions that can come with larger group settings. This intimate setting allows for meaningful interactions and shared experiences that strengthen bonds.
FLEXIBLE PACE
With a private tour, you have the freedom to set your own pace. Whether you prefer a leisurely exploration or a fast-paced adventure, a private tour guide can adjust the itinerary to match your desired speed. This flexibility ensures that you have ample time to fully enjoy each location and revisit spots that capture your interest.
DIRECT INTERACTION WITH GUIDE
Having a private guide means you have their undivided attention. This allows for a deeper level of engagement, as you can ask questions, seek recommendations, and gain insights tailored specifically to your interests. A knowledgeable guide can enrich your experience with stories, historical context, and local tips that will make it complete!

After becoming friends at the end of the day 🤗

Rio de Janeiro has a rich gastronomic culture with many amazing restaurants, from seafood to Italian and our popular Steak houses, the "churrascaria".

Here is our top 15 suggestions 😃

1. Churrascaria Palace: Very traditional with a great salad and varied food buffet with sushi! Pleases the whole family.

2. Aprazível : A real hidden gem and amazing restaurant up Santa Teresa neighborhood decorated in local handcrafts abounding in Brazilianness. Yes it's quite an experience!

3. Casa da Feijoada: It's so important to have the feijoada experience! Feijoada is the truly Brazilian dish!

4. Flutuante Rio @flutuanterio
Awesome floating restaurant close to SugarLoaf, it has a great atmosphere! Buffet for R$ 68 with entrance, main dish and desert.

5. Terra Brasílis: Another great restaurant with a very cool menu and atmosphere, right next to Sugarloaf and with a beautiful view!

6. Julieta de Serpa: Think of a truly romantic restaurant! You will feel like a princess out of a Disney movie.

7. Toca da Traíra: A fancy sea food restaurant where everything is just delicious!

8. Colombo Copacabana: Situated inside the fortress, it's a traditional cafe and it's wonderful deserts and savouries with a view!

9. Satyricon: If you want upscale Italian and seafood, this is the place for you!

10. Café do Alto: A Northeastern restaurant and a great cultural experience! The decoration is also super cute.

11. Cais do Oriente: In old Rio downtown, this beautiful restaurant makes an art out of Brazilian gastronomy, architecture and history.

12. Belmonte Ipanema: If it's that "carioca" Beach vibe you are looking for, this popular restaurant will bring it on! Busy all day with happy cariocas and Brazilians all over.

13. Dida: If you never tasted real African gastronomy here's your chance! A simple restaurant that provides rich tastes. Don't miss out!

14. Barodromo: Thematic carnaval bar and restaurant (Yes! I said carnaval!) that is fully decorated, shiny and so much fun!

15. Xian Rio: A Japanese restaurant with a view of Sugarloaf! Simply fantastic.

When packing a suitcase, the best way to do it is a combination of rolling, folding, and using packing cubes. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you pack your suitcase efficiently:

1. **Start with a list.** Write down all the items you need to pack. This will help you avoid overpacking and forgetting essential items.
2. **Choose your clothes wisely.** Opt for versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched. Stick to a color palette to make it easier to create outfits.
3. **Use the rolling method for most clothing.** Roll your clothes tightly to save space and minimize wrinkles. This works well for t-shirts, jeans, and casual pants.
4. **Fold bulkier items.** For items like jackets, blazers, and dress shirts, it's better to fold them to maintain their shape. Place them on top of the rolled items.
5. **Use packing cubes.** Packing cubes are great for organizing your belongings and compressing them. Use different-sized cubes to separate clothes, underwear, and other items.
6. **Fill empty spaces.** Tuck smaller items like socks, belts, and chargers into your shoes or other small crevices.
7. **Place heavy items at the bottom.** To ensure your suitcase doesn't tip over, pack heavier items like shoes and toiletries near the wheels.
8. **Keep essential items accessible.** Pack your toiletries, medications, and travel documents in a small bag on top for easy access.
9. **Protect fragile items.** If you have any fragile items, wrap them in a scarf or a sweater to provide extra cushioning.
10. **Leave some extra space.** It's a good idea to leave a little extra room for souvenirs or other items you might acquire during your trip.

By following these tips, you can pack your suitcase efficiently and make your travel experience much smoother.

Since you're going to the Christ why not take a peek at the Largo do Boticário? This is only possible with custom tours! Come with us and have an unforgettable time!

Traveler Luis booked 4 awesome custom days with us for a very special price! Book now via WhatsApp +5521 96638-2686
