Overview of your Rio de janeiro tour:

From the pirate's tales up to the literary novels, Paquetá Island stands out for its beautiful landscapes which in the past, delighted the Portuguese nobility. From the French occupation in the sixteenth century to the imperial opulence of the nineteenth century, Paquetá preserves its charm that makes the island known as the "Love Island". Our ride will take about 70 minutes sea crossing through Guanabara Bay. The island offer entertainments that goes from little trains, horse carriages up to individual or double bicycles for rental. Sea crossing is a journey into time. The starting point of our transition is Praça XV, the main port of Rio de Janeiro colonial time, which today houses centennial buildings full of history. The symbolism continues with the sea, the old barge moving away slowly & leaving behind the city fully exposed. ** This tour is priced for 4 travelers MAX.

Your Rio de janeiro tour itinerary

As this is a private tour, I will do my best to keep the itinerary as flexible as possible; however, due to weather conditions, construction and/or unexpected events, certain venues may be replaced with other options. The plan is, after pick-up from your hotel, we go to the closest metro station to head towards the downtown area. En route to the ferry terminal, we will have a short walking tour of the historic center that can include visits to: - Praça XV - The Imperial Palace - The Teles Arch - The Carmelite Convent - The first Cathedral Our Lady of Carmo in Baroque style - The colonial waterfountain from Master Valentim After, we will take the ferry to cross Guanabara Bay to reach the island (NOTE: The ferry ride takes about 1 hr 45 mins EACH WAY). After touring the island, we take the ferry back. ** Questions? Concerns? Please click on the 'ASK A QUESTION' button to contact me **
