Additional Information

Discover much about Brazil’s past and cultural legacy on this 2-Day excursion. You’ll get to know two significant cities via two diverse experiences: a Foot Tour in Rio and a One-Day Tour to Petropolis.

In Rio, uncover the historical city center and learn how a colonial outpost on the edge of the Atlantic transformed into the seat of the Portuguese Empire. You’ll also be privy to the history of slavery from the perspective of those distressed by the Atlantic business and their offspring, and understand Afro culture’s enduring influence on national identity.

In Petropolis, the location of the Royal Family’s holiday home, you will delve into the Imperial era. You’l visit not only the holiday home itself (now a museum) but also other notable historical locales. This is a lesser-known treasure of Rio.

Why wait? Join us on this ‘journey-through-time’ tour!

Fantastic Tour of Rio - We had a great 2.5 days with Be Free! Marcelo was so helpful while we were planning on trip to Rio arranging our airport transfers and tours. We spent a day doing Rio Essentials with Marcelo and Rafael. They were both fantastic and so knowledgeable about the city! We enjoyed spending time with them, seeing the classic Rio sites like Sugarloaf and Christ the Redeemer. Marcelo recommended Petropolis for a day, which was so great. It's off the beaten path and so charming. It was a great place to learn more about Brazilian history. Rafael finished our time in Rio with a 1/2 day walking tour in City Center. We really enjoyed spending time walking around the city. Marcelo and Rafael both made great recommendations for things to do while we weren't touring and places and items to eat/drink. Our time in Rio was exceptional, thanks to Be Free. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
