Best Guide Ever! - We had arranged to be picked up at our hotel and André arrived on time. He was very attentive and knowledgable. When I mentioned that there were a few places I planned to visit after the tour, he added them to the tour! We were delighted with his willingness to spend as much time (or as little) in each spot according to our wishes. A fantastic guide who helped me to fall more in love with Rio than I already was. Highly recommended.

Don’t miss a beat - The walking tour gave us some really good highlights of the city. What I really enjoyed most was the fact that we were able to stroll on our own time without being too hurried with the agenda. Our guide was able to get us a shuttle ride around the museum of tomorrow which was very nice. Also, the highlight of this tour was the library of old books that she took us to. I didn’t know such a library existed and I was happy that we were taken there.

Discovering downtown Rio - our tour guide was absolutely wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and took us to interesting places. I am not very good at names, but I believe her name was Malenia.
I would recommend this tour.

A must for your trip to Rio de Janerio - On this tour your will visit several churches along with other places of interest. Melanie was an excellent tour ambassador for, Rio de Janerio! She shared history of the city and allowed us time to make our way through the sites. I recommend, shopping at the local market near Rio Cathedral and taking in linch at places less touristy as the line ups are shorter and the snacks and meals overall throughout Rio are of European standard.
I recommend doing this tour on your first or second day of your visit as it provided you with an understanding of the cities layout and identifies places you may which to spend more time exploring. I woupd recommend asking your tour guide to share tips and make recommendations for things of interest to you. Webdid and Melanie was aboe to offer suggestions that saved us money and make the local experience in Brazil meaningful.

The Disappointing news, and the Happy Resolution. - Unfortunately, not enough people signed up for the tour and it was cancelled. HOWEVER, the communication between the operator and Viator was seamless, and the tour was refunded with kind apologies. Tourism is full of moving parts, and sometimes things just happen. I must admit I was disappointed, however given the opportunity to revisit, will definitely try again.

Nice but need more walking and less driving - Not a lot of walking, traffic was bad. Recommending more time to walk, browse more streets; give 10 mins of free time.
