2.Olympic Boulevard, AquaRio and Museum of Tomorrow Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 54 reviews · 4 hours · from $49

Visit Rio’s port district with a Spanish-, English-, or Portuguese-speaking guide. See the Museum of Tomorrow, photograph Eduardo Kobra’s huge mural, and add AquaRio for sharks, rays, corals, and hundreds of species. Hotel pickup, admission, and wheelchair access are included.

“El guía fue excelente. El tour en general es bueno, pero la peor parte es la larga caminata por el bulevar para llegar al museo del mañana. Esta parte del tour se debería obviar y hacer el traslado en el mismo minibús.”

Rio: Olympic Boulevard, Museum of Tomorrow & History Tour

4.Olympic Boulevard, Museum of Tomorrow & History Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 47 reviews · 4 hours · from $67

This four-hour Rio tour links African heritage at Valongo Wharf, Eduardo Kobra’s giant mural, the Museum of Tomorrow, Saint Benedict Monastery, Praça XV, and Confeitaria Colombo. English, Spanish, and Portuguese guides lead the visit, with hotel pickup from Copacabana, Ipanema, Leblon, and Leme.

“La guía, Marilia, se perdió al llevarnos de un punto a otro. No explicaba los lugares de visita, siempre nos estaba apurando a pesar del tiempo que perdió al perderse entre las calles. El transporte casi nos deja al final del recorrido ya que como eran dos tours en el mismo transporte parecía que estábamos ligados al segundo tour. No fue una experiencia agradable. Por lo que no lo recomiendo.”
