Rio Airport & Hotel Transfer with Private City Tour

Make the most of the hours around check-in or checkout with a private Rio experience planned around your flight.

Arrival or departure · 6- or 8-hour experience · Customized itinerary

Arriving in Rio before your hotel or Airbnb is ready? Or checking out hours before a late flight? Turn that time into a chance to discover the city, with a private tour that connects your airport, accommodation, and selected Rio experiences.

For arrivals, meet your guide and driver at the airport after collecting your luggage. Explore Rio, then finish at your hotel or Airbnb. For departures, begin at your hotel or Airbnb after checkout, enjoy a city tour, and finish at the airport with timing planned around your flight.

Your luggage travels with you in a private vehicle selected according to your group size and luggage needs. With a local guide accompanying you, you can focus on enjoying Rio while we coordinate the route and transfers around your schedule.

Choose a 6- or 8-hour experience and work with our team to customize your itinerary in advance. Possible options include Little Africa, Sugarloaf Mountain, breakfast with a view at Sugarloaf, Pantanal Carioca, or—on Sundays—a visit to Feira da Glória.

Lunch options are discussed during planning according to your dietary needs and preferences. Whether a meal is included depends on the itinerary you select and will be confirmed in your proposal.

Pick-Up Timing & Tour Duration

For airport arrivals, we schedule your vehicle pick-up to allow time for your flight to land and for you to collect your luggage. For example, if your flight lands at 7:30 AM, your guide will be there at 8:30 AM to greet you just outside the arrivals exit, after baggage claim. Your vehicle will pick you up at 9:00 AM.

For airport departures, we’ll arrange pick-up from your hotel or Airbnb after checkout and plan the tour to finish at the airport with timing suited to your flight.

Your selected 6- or 8-hour experience begins at the scheduled vehicle pick-up time—at the airport for arrivals or at your accommodation for departures. Please share your flight details, accommodation address, group size, and the number and size of your bags so we can coordinate the itinerary and appropriate vehicle.

Lunch & Dietary Preferences

During the planning process, we’ll suggest lunch options based on your dietary needs and preferences. Whether lunch is included in the price will be clearly stated in your customized itinerary.
