A different side of Rio - Very interesting to know the bohemian side of Rio, very picturesque and cute neighborhood. The guide was clear and enjoyable. At the time of the tour (3pm) we could not use the yellow tram, I recommend to get on it first to take advantage of it and then wait for the tour.

History, art and social resistance - I liked the story of the Fernanda guide. Perhaps it must have delved a little deeper into the political profile of the neighborhood, which could be noticed on each block, by graffiti, flags and graphic expressions that deserved to be explained in their historical and social context.
