We had a great tour of the main sights of the city with Flavio. We had a whatsapp message upfront to introduce himself which made meeting on the day easy. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, helped us feel safe and gave us some great wider tips for the rest of our stay. I'd defintely recommend!
That's great! Hope you have liked the food. Thanks for the review. Take care! :)
Flavio is awesome! Knows a lot about Rio de Janeiro. We learned a lot from him. The tour covers the important landmarks of the city. Wish we had more time in the Selaron steps and had time to have a coffee and brigadeiros in Colombo. But we have a reason to go back. Thank Flavio for showing us Rio, marvelous city indeed!
That's awesome to read! I'll talk to Flavio about the time at Selaron Stairs but it seems it didn't affect your experience overall. Thanks for the review and take care! :)
Rafael, our guide, was phenomenal! He shared the rich history of Cinelândia and explained the urban redesign that transformed the area in the early 20th century. He pointed out key features of the buildings that replaced the original structures, shedding light on the impact of this transformation on the city's residents. Rafael also gave us great tips about traditional businesses that have been operating for over a century and highlighted fascinating architectural details of landmarks like the cathedral, the municipal theater, the Belas Artes institute, and many more. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and left feeling inspired to explore more of Rio. Thank you, Rafael!
Rio's City Center is filled with history. We are really happy that you had such a great experience. Thanks for the review. Take care! :)
Wagner is an excellent guide. He had a thorough knowledge of the history and culture of Rio. I had a brilliant day and will highly recommend him.
The Walking Tour is an excellent way to get to know the city better, isn't it? Thank you very much for your review!
I hired a Carioca guide and we took a beautiful walk through the center of Rio on foot. Candelaria, Museum of Tomorrow, Real Portuguese Reading Office, Colombo Confectionery, Ouvidor Street, Legislative Assembly, we walked to the Aquarium and walked on the Giant Roda.
Excellent walking tour of the city under the sky of Rio, our guide Rafael is passionate and explained the whole history of the city, it was a very nice day!!
Je ne parle pas bien le français, alors je vais vous répondre avec un peu d'aide d'un traducteur, j'espère que c'est bon. Se promener dans le Centre est le meilleur moyen de connaître de près l'histoire de la ville. Nous sommes très heureux que cela vous ait plu. Merci beaucoup pour l'examen!
Rafa is a nice and knowlegible guy. He knows many about the history of the city. We designed the tour route together and do as we expect. Only pity is that we did it on a Sunday, most of the spots are closed. I would recommend to do the tour on a weekday so that you can get in those places to see inside.
Thanks a lot for the review! All the best for you!
