Don’t miss this tour!!

Elaine was THE BEST tour guide!! She had excellent knowledge of the history of the city, shared fun stories and took excellent care of our group. The stops on the tour were all worth it and we had time to take pictures and explore key sights, including the Selaron Steps and Metropolitan Cathedral - both gorgeous!! Visiting Confeitaria Colombo was another highlight with delicious treats and a taste of the Queen’s ice cream. Highly recommend this tour!!

Well-organized itinerary and insightful commentary

We were very pleased with our tour guided by Rafael. He was well organized and informative. His insights into the social and political history of Brazil and of Rio, as exemplified by the various places we visited on our 3 hour-walking tour, were particularly useful and entertaining.

An Excellent Tour
