Recorrido a pie por el Centro Histórico de Río de Janeiro.

Carlos explained so much and showed me many interestung sights, what a compact tour! -- And yet he gave me enough time to ask questions and make it interactive. A total recommendation, Carlos is really a passionate story-teller and adaptive in his explanations!

Good overview of downtown and history of region. Reasonable walk and a lot of information great for the value

Carlos was very knowledgeable and we saw many things. It was very engaging and interesting. We learned a lot and it was an amazing experience.

Excellent walking tour of city highlights. Using Viator, you gain direct access .. no waiting in lines at sites. Carlos is top-notch .. very knowlgeable, super accomodating to individual needs, excellent English, great sense of humor.

Carlos is an excellent guide. He took all his time to explain to me in Spanish the points of interest we visited. The walk is worth it, Carlos showed me many beautiful places. I really like architecture and I was able to see all kinds of architecture during this walk.

I cannot recommend this tour. My guide, Carlos, provided very little historical or architectural information about the buildings and landmarks we visited. I was hoping for a more informative walking tour of downtown Rio, but much of the tour consisted of simply walking from place to place with limited explanation. About an hour into the tour, Carlos suggested taking a taxi to visit a couple of additional sites, including the marina and the monument dedicated to Brazilian Expeditionary Forces who fought in World War II. At no point did he clearly explain that there would be an additional cost. After the visits, he asked me how I would like to pay. I was surprised, as I had been told we would take a taxi and was never informed that I would be responsible for extra transportation expenses. To his credit, Carlos later apologized for the misunderstanding, which I appreciated. However, the lack of historical commentary and the unexpected request for additional payment significantly diminished my experience. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this tour.

The guide Carlos was very pleasant, but he did not give a great commentary and the walk we took around the Centre was just not that interesting. We had an accompanying guide with him for security for us, but that guide was quite bossy, telling us when to take photos and telling us to pay attention. It became quite irritating. Overall, I felt I could’ve learnt a lot more about Rio it’s history, it’s people and how it functions than Carlos was able to tell me. Given that he does this to every day of the week, I think he needs to perhaps do some more research to make his commentary more interesting..

Carlos provided an informative and delightful tour of historic downtown Rio. I very much enjoyed this experience!

Carlos was a great guide with great energy. He was very engaged and loved to tell you so spot the history of Rio. The other guide, Lucemir, struggled a bit with English so my tip would be to let Carlos lead the tour more.

If you’re visiting Rio de Janeiro, book a tour with Carlos — you won’t regret it! Carlos is incredibly knowledgeable, brought the city to life with fascinating stories and answered every question we had. He took fabulous photos of us, and his restaurant and live music recommendations turned out to be trip highlights we’ll never forget. His warmth and genuine passion for Rio made us feel like we were exploring the city with a friend. We highly recommend Carlos to anyone visiting Rio!
