Rio Gay Guide

Tours

Private Tours

Your Rio.
Private.Local.
Unforgettable.

Before your tour, we’ll meet over video to understand your interests and what you want from Rio.

Together, we’ll choose experiences that match your vibe and create a day that feels entirely yours.

If you’d like to stay present and disconnect, your guide can capture the moments for you.

What's included in every tour

The full experience, nothing missing.

Gay travelers want freedom to be themselves without judgment. A trusted local guide maximizes both safety and experience. This is the memory you’ll take home.

Customized private tour in Rio de Janeiro
TOUR #1
6 HRS
From €199

Hidden beaches • local food • art & architecture • LGBTQ+ Rio

Think of it as exploring Rio with a local friend. Tell us what you love, what you’re curious about and how you like to travel. Together, we’ll create a day that feels completely natural to you—mixing iconic places with the corners of Rio we’d show to our own friends.

Abricó Beach, Rio de Janeiro’s official nudist beach
TOUR #2
6 HRS
From €199

Secluded cove • Atlantic Forest trail • clothing-optional freedom • outside cruising 

Escape the busy city and discover Rio’s only official nudist beach. Tucked between the ocean and the Atlantic Forest, Abricó feels like another world. Getting there on your own can be difficult: there’s no public transport, and most mobile networks don’t work in the area, making it hard to call an Uber—especially for the return trip. We’ll take care of the journey and introduce you to the beach just as a carioca friend would.

Traveler sitting on a rocky mountain viewpoint above the clouds in Rio de Janeiro
TOUR #3
6 HRS
From €199

Atlantic Forest trail • panoramic viewpoints • hang gliders • hidden corners

If you want breathtaking views of Rio without dealing with the crowds at Christ the Redeemer or Sugarloaf Mountain, this is the experience for you. We’ll choose a trail that matches your pace, walk through the Atlantic Forest and show you the viewpoints and little detours only a local friend would know.

Gay nightlife experience in Rio de Janeiro
TOUR #4
6 HRS
From €199

Bar entrance at night · dance floor crowd · cruising bar interior · after-party street scene

Rio’s cultural and nightlife scene is constantly changing. The party everyone is talking about today may be somewhere completely different next week—and the newest spots rarely make it into traditional travel guides. We keep up with the city’s latest hypes, pop-ups and underground events, so we can plan a night that matches your vibe and show you the Rio only locals know.

Hidden waterfall in Tijuca National Park, Rio de Janeiro
TOUR #5
6 HRS
From €199

Waterfall pool · jungle path · swimmers · wide forest canopy shot

Inside Tijuca National Park—one of the world’s largest urban forests—there are dozens of waterfalls hidden among the dense jungle. Most tourists never find them, but a local knows where to go. Expect cool water, lush nature and a complete change of pace from Rio’s beaches and nightlife.

Favela tour in Rio de Janeiro with a local guide
TOUR #6
6 HRS
From €199

Rooftop community view · street art · local market · guide with residents

We believe favela tourism is complex and often controversial – poverty should never become a spectacle for visitors. That’s why we only work with local guides who actually live in the communities and understand how to welcome guests without invading or disrespecting residents’ daily lives. The experience focuses on culture, creativity and local perspectives, always with responsibility, sensitivity and respect.

01 What's included in the price?

Your guide’s time, local transport during the tour, VIP Pass access, and all entrance fees for the selected experience. No hidden charges.

Yes. All tours are private by design — just for your group (up to 4 people). The price is per group, not per person, so it scales well whether you’re traveling solo or with friends.

Our guides are part of the LGBTQ+ community or are deeply connected to it. You can be completely yourself — no judgment, no editing, no explaining needed.

Yes. Every private tour includes the VIP Pass — our curated digital guide to Rio’s gay scene, updated weekly. It’s included because it makes your tour experience richer.

We recommend at least 48 hours in advance. For peak season (Carnival, New Year’s) and the Custom Tour, earlier is better. That said — if you’re already in Rio, send us a message and we’ll do our best.

Life happens. Cancel up to 24 hours before your tour for a full refund. Within 24 hours, we’ll offer a reschedule. We handle it through WhatsApp — quick and human.

Absolutely. Many travelers combine a daytime experience (Abricó, Pedra Bonita, Cachoeiras) with an evening tour (Night Out) across different days. Your guide can help you sequence the perfect Rio week.
