2.Petropolis The Imperial City with Beer tour and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 83 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $59

Spend about 10 hours traveling from Rio to Petrópolis, Brazil’s former imperial retreat. Visit the Imperial Museum, cathedral, Crystal Palace, and Bohemia Brewery, with three beer tastings, a buffet lunch, and guide-led commentary. Confirm your pickup and language before booking.

“This was an impromptu outing which turned out to be quite interesting. Rafael, the guide, was really enthusiastic about doing his job; in Portuguese, English and Spanish, nonetheless. He was able to keep it light yet intellectually challenging for the duration of the whole program; which lasted approximately 8 hours. I went on this tour with my wife and sister. My sister and I are Brazilians and my wife is American. Rafael’s quality of service managed to please us all despite our individual cultural and educational differences. I feel the same can be said of the other participants in the group.”

The sunset and scenery of the Guanabara Bay were spectacular and we could not ask for a better guide and…”
