Accessible Rio: Private & Comfortable City Experience
Experience Rio at Your Own Pace
Discover Rio de Janeiro through a private experience designed around comfort, accessibility, and your individual pace.
Created for travelers with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, senior travelers, and families traveling with guests who require additional assistance, this experience removes unnecessary physical constraints without taking away what makes Rio extraordinary.
The itinerary combines some of the city’s most memorable landscapes and attractions with private transportation, carefully planned stops, additional time when needed, and a guide who adapts the day to each traveler.
Before the experience, our team discusses your mobility and accessibility requirements individually so that transportation, attractions, timing, and assistance can be planned accordingly.
The result is not a shortened version of Rio. It is Rio planned differently.

Tour Itinerary
Here’s an example of how the experience can be organized. The final itinerary is adapted to each traveler’s mobility, interests, energy level, and accessibility requirements.
Hotel Pickup
Your private guide and driver meet you directly at your hotel.
Boarding time is never rushed, and the vehicle is selected according to the mobility requirements communicated to our team before the experience.
Christ the Redeemer
Begin with one of Rio’s defining landmarks.
Our team plans the most appropriate access according to the traveler’s mobility requirements and current operating conditions, allowing additional time whenever necessary.
Enjoy the views over Rio without the pressure of keeping pace with a group tour.
Panoramic Rio
Continue through some of Rio’s most recognizable neighborhoods and landscapes with panoramic stops selected for their combination of views, comfort, and accessibility.
The route can include areas such as Lagoa, Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana, and Urca depending on the day and the traveler’s preferences.
Private Lunch
Stop at a carefully selected restaurant where accessibility, comfort, and ease of arrival are considered alongside the quality of the dining experience.
There is no fixed lunch duration. The day moves at your pace.
Sugarloaf Mountain
Continue toward Sugarloaf Mountain, subject to the traveler’s accessibility requirements and current operating conditions.
Additional time can be planned for boarding, transfers, rest, and photography.
For travelers who prefer not to include another major attraction, this part of the day can instead be replaced with a scenic drive, cultural visit, afternoon tea, or waterfront experience.
Return to Your Hotel
Your private driver takes you comfortably back to your hotel.
If required, our concierge team can also coordinate the transition to your evening plans, restaurant reservation, or next service.
Pricing

An absolutely unforgettable journey — thank you, Brazil Exclusive Travels! From the very first email to the final goodbye, planning our trip with Brazil Exclusive Travels was a genuine pleasure, and we could not recommend them more highly. Our three-week journey across Brazil — the Lençóis Maranhenses, Salvador de Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, Angra dos Reis, the Iguaçu Falls and the Pantanal — was organized flawlessly from start to finish. A very special thank-you goes to Vincent Droesbeke, our travel consultant, who looked after us with extraordinary care both before and during the trip. He crafted an itinerary that balanced adventure, culture, nature and pure relaxation perfectly, and not a single detail was left to chance. He even came to welcome us in person when we landed in Rio — a thoughtful, personal touch that meant a great deal to us — and surprised us with a wonderful room upgrade on top of it. Every transfer, flight and connection ran perfectly, and each local guide and driver was outstanding: knowledgeable, warm and genuinely passionate about their country. The experiences they arranged were once-in-a-lifetime — a scenic flight over the Lençóis, the Iguaçu Falls from both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, and, the highlight of them all, watching a female jaguar and her cub play at sunset in the Pantanal. Thank you, Vincent and the entire BET team, for turning our dream of Brazil into reality. We will treasure these memories forever — and we will be back! Ilaria & Cristiano
This agency went above and beyond for my trip to Rio de Janeiro. From the first email to getting on the plane back home. The tour guides, security team and drivers were amazing-professional , friendly and always looking out for me. I felt completely taken care of the entire time, which made the trip even more enjoyable. I'm so grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a stress-free, high high quality travel experience.
Dara and Brazil Exclusive Travels is a 5 star plus company. I would give them 10 stars if possible! Dara and her team helped me plan a perfect Rio holiday. She had ideas on everything from tours - to restaurants - to transfers - to a Michelin level chef to cook for us! Plus Dara and her team were with us every step of the way! Honestly I have nothing negative to say about this company at all! I highly recommend them.
I reached out to Brazilian exclusive travel as I was unable to order tickets for a concert for a birthday visit to São Paulo. This happens a lot when booking things if you’re not in or from Brazil but Brazilian exclusive came to the rescue!!! They ordered my tickets and did everything they could to reassure me about safely receiving them! It was a 10/10 for my experience! Quick and efficient, too! Using them to book the rest of my tours and things whilst I am there! 🩷🩷🩷🩷
Brazil Exclusive Travels arranged a private tour for a corporate group of 20 people. All the logistics pre-tour handled by Felipe were very well coordinated. Communication was very clear. The team was very attentive to details. Our tour guide Juliana was amazing. I highly recommend them for experiencing the best of Rio.
We spent a fantastic 2 days in Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of November. Thanks to Felipe everything went exactly as planned. The guide and driver arrived always on time, theyp were extremly polite,attentive and courteous. Tatiana, the guide was perfect, showed and told everything that could be done in just 2 days. It helped a lot that the driver always dropped us off at the closest location and waited us, as well as fast pass entrance tickets to important places. Overall it was a wonderful experience, just as we had imagined. Thanks to everyone who participated in the organisation and implementation. I recommend the office to everyone, they were very fair.

Leave with peace of mind for Brazil, in RIO by entrusting Camille with the care of organizing your stay. With a perfect knowledge of RIO and its surroundings, your efficient help and relevant advice Camille have been very valuable to us and in particular: obtaining tickets for a match at the Maracana (delivered directly to our hotel room), putting us in touch with a French-speaking guide for a morning visit to Santa Teresa (request made the day before), organizing a transfer Ilha Grande - Rio with a stop at the Rio heliport for a flight over the city (Help in choosing the helicopter company) ... Responsiveness, Rigor, Precision and solutions provided (even to last-minute requests): Camille has a great sense of service and support for a tailor-made trip. Thank you Camille for your assistance, your discreet, pleasant and so comfortable presence, you have greatly contributed to the success of our trip.

We had an amazing experience!!! Felipe Tauile went above and beyond for our guided tour to help with restaurant recommendations, reservations, and even private airport transfers. He responded immediately to all of our questions and even pivoted plans around weather cancellations. 10/10 recommend and plan to utilize his expertise for future business trips in Brazil!
Went for two weeks for carnival. Dara our tour organizer and Pedro our driver were amazing at organizing everything and patient with multiple changes many of which were last minute as we learned more on the ground about different events or places we should experience. Although definitely on the higher side price wise it is worth it if you want a stress free private experience. We will definitely be recommending to any friends traveling to Rio. Anyone who enjoys history should definitely take the private tours as it is you with a guide fluent in your language and whom are very sociable. If you have a lack of plans or want a more dynamic day I’d book the car for the day. The drivers can recommend places to shop, beach, eat etc as can Dada. Ubers can take a while and even the Uber blacks are basic Toyota Camrys and not always in the best of shape.
