Very interesting.

The duration was a bit shorter than expected, but it was very exciting and pleasant. The pickup from the hotel was definitely the best idea; especially the tour guide Mateus made the journey easier for me, so that the pickup was already a wonderful journey through the history of Rio. His friendly demeanor and wonderful English really motivated me positively on the way to the event.
