“I was a Solo traveler and was a bit apprehensive about booking a tour and a big crowd. I booked a private tour with this company and it was fantastic. The tour guide was Alan who made everything even better. He came by my Airbnb and picked me up in a very nice car and made sure that I had plenty of air conditioning the entire time.

6.Private Buzios Luxury City Tour and Beach Hopping Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 12 to 14 hours (approx.) · from $833

A private, customizable Buzios day trip from Rio with beach hopping, Orla Bardot, and Rua das Pedras, plus private guide and pickup.

“This was a great one-day "vacation within a vacation"! Buzios is a charming village with dozens of beaches, each with a unique character. Having a private guide and driver gave us the flexibility to visit only the beaches that we really wanted to see and to spend the time we wanted in each place. I highly recommend the restaurant "Rocka", the meal was fantastic and the view is unrivaled. We didn't have much time to explore the village because of all the time we spent at the beaches, but what we saw definitely deserves another trip to enjoy.”
