Tour Details

Feel free to send me a message via WhatsApp or email for discounts — the contact details are in the answer box on TripAdvisor. This is the only authentic private tour for gay people in operation in Brazil since 2007. Check out our TripAdvisor reviews for more options on tours! This is definitely more than a tour.

It’s a really fun day with a local friend who will be able to show you the city from a perspective that no other tourists can access. In this specific tour, I pick you up at your place, and we go up to Corcovado Hill for Christ the Redeemer, cutting a few lines to get there and making the most of your time. Great photos are guaranteed! Then we head to the Santa Teresa area, where you will enjoy this vibrant, artistic, bohemian, and diverse atmosphere.

Old mansions, genuine art galleries, great views, authentic people and exquisite restaurants—you are going to experience that and much more. Lapa stairs or Selaron stairs and Cinelândia area are also included!!
