From the tarmac to the coast in one smooth ride

The Experience
The moment you step through arrivals at GIG, your driver is already waiting with your name on a card. No hunting for a taxi rank, no negotiating fares at the curb — the car is there, air-conditioned, and the price was locked in before you landed. World Tour Travel handles transfers from Rio de Janeiro's main airport to Buzios for up to four passengers, and the whole thing is built around one idea: you should not have to think about getting to your hotel.
The drive itself takes you northeast along the coast, and the vehicle comes with WiFi if you need to check in or catch up on messages. The driver knows the route, knows the traffic patterns, and knows when to take the quieter roads. There's no tour commentary, no stops for photos — this is transport that respects your time. If you're traveling with kids, specialized infant seats are available, and the car is wheelchair accessible if that matters for your group.
What sets this apart from a standard airport taxi is the consistency. World Tour Travel runs a 24/7 support team, so if your flight lands late, if there's a delay, or if something changes on your end, you have a real person to contact, not an app that times out. The vehicle is modern, the air conditioning works, and the driver shows up. For travelers arriving in Rio de Janeiro without a rental car and heading straight to Buzios, this removes the friction that usually comes with that first transfer.
What’s included
Private air-conditioned vehicle for up to four passengers, WiFi on board, driver meeting you at arrivals with a name card, fixed pricing with no surge charges, and 24/7 support team available for any changes or questions during your transfer from Rio de Janeiro airport to Buzios.
Operated by World Tour Travel
Is this one for you?Right for travelers landing at GIG without a rental car and heading straight to Buzios — the fixed price and fixed pickup time mean you skip the taxi negotiation and arrive on schedule. Expect a 2 to 2.5 hour drive; that's what the distance is, and it's built into the service.
