Great Tour - Really enjoyed the free walking tour in Rio. Our guide was really friendly and welcoming and very informative of the area. The tour took 3 hours but felt very quick in a good way as I really enjoyed it. There was time for a quick toilet break and drink refill which was good. The guide answered everyone's questions and gave good suggestions for what to do, eat, where to go in Rio. Really enjoyed it and would recommend as the tour is free and you can give tips at the end no minimum is required.

A must! - Excellent! Rafael was an awesome and really sympa guide. It was my second time in Rio, but this time I was with my parents, and we had no much budget. This tour was ideal, economical, historical, perfect to take pics and pay attention to cultural places and also a way to reconnect with Brazil.

Recommended! - A very nice and concise experience.
Fernanda took us to the best known places, and not so much the center of Rio. We liked that he took the time to explain where to go, where not and how to handle ourselves after the tour
