In the afternoon, continuing our walking tour, we will make an internal visit to the wonderful Theatro Muncipal, getting to know not only in detail its imposing interior, but also environments that many of its visitors have never been to.

Next we go to Paço Imperial, the royal family’s first address upon their arrival in Rio de Janeiro. Also, very close by, we go to Chafariz do Valentim, one of the main artists of colonial Brazil, having worked as a sculptor, carver and urban planner in Rio de Janeiro.

If all this wasn’t already good enough, let’s pass by Arco do Teles and learn about the famous story of the circle of children who were abandoned by their mother.

In the last steps we will visit the Nossa Senhora da Lapa dos Mercadores Church to see the miracle of the saint who fell more than 20 meters high after being hit by a cannonball and remained intact.

Closing our journey through time and for the celebration of those present, we will have a delicious coffee together at the traditional and historic Colombo confectionery, founded in 1894.

6 Advantages of a Trip One Tours

What are the MAIN ADVANTAGES of experiencing ours TOURS by a LOCAL GUIDE?

RICH EXPERIENCE: It’s one thing to visit a tourist attraction without a guide and another thing entirely to have a guide telling you the history of the place, curiosities and information that only the guides have and that isn’t even available online.

OFF THE ROUTE: there are attractions and gastronomic options that are off the common tourist route and the guide can discover several options according to your taste and budget.

CUSTOMIZED ITINERARY: We believe that you should not be forced to fit into the same script as 20 or 40 other people. Each traveler has their own preferences and budget, which is why we work with tour itineraries that are personalized to suit your needs!

SECURITY: no matter how much information you have beforehand, you will never have the same level of experience as a tour guide who, in addition to living in the city, knowing the tourist attractions, knows which places are unsafe.

SAVE TIME: hiring a tour guide you will save time, as not only does the professional already know the ideal duration of the visit in each location, he has already drawn up a suitable itinerary to spend the least amount of time between one attraction and another.

FAIR PRICE: all tourist services offered by Trip One partner tour guides are priced and are within the market price of the city you are visiting. This prevents you from being deceived by bad professionals in the market who may charge exorbitant amounts or even much lower, which, in general, denotes that the service provided will not have adequate quality or security.
