It was raining most of the day so we needed to modify the days plan a bit. Took Uber’s where we needed to go and did a bit of walking. The museum was great! We did not feel rushed during our tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and even helped us plan our next days activities. A very pleasant way to enjoy a day.

I booked this tour the day before and was kept up to date with the meeting location and time to the point of my pick up. Having done a tour the day before I was expecting a mini bus but on arrival I found my transport was a lot smaller. In fact due to a cancellation at the last minute Gastavo the tour guide told me that this was going to be a one to one tour! We began our tour by looking at the old sea port where the slaves were shipped into Rio. The story was fascinating and we left the old harbour and looked at the olympic Boulevard. Time has taken its toll on the colourful artwork but it is still there reminding you of some of the countries involved in the Games. It was nice to see the electric trains running through the Boulevard too. We continued our journey looking at old and new architecture and fantastic Churches. There were more reminders of the Games on route and finally we found our way onto the waterfront for the Museum of Tomorrow and a walk past a number of different ships and a submarine. I enjoyed the Museum and anyone who would like to know more about our planet would find it very worthwhile. We ended our trip at the Confeitaria Columbo and took in the magnificent interior and enjoyed something to eat and drink before bringing the tour to an end and travelling back to the pick up location. As a tour guide Gastavo was very knowledgeable which is not surprising for someone who has been in the business for over 20 years and has a History degree. He was full of energy throughout the tour and was only too willing to answer questions and take photographs for me to make my day memorable. For the price I paid this was a fantastic tour for anyone who loves culture and really getting to know the place you are visiting. But having a personal tour made it even more special. I’m glad that I chose this and would definitely recommend it to people wanting a great way to spend 4 hours in Rio.

We asked for an Italian guide and met Monica for our last day in Rio. We had already done the main touristic attractions and sightseeings, so she offered us a city tour through the historical part of the “centro” and its hidden churches, the cafes and the historical buildings, revealing the different layers of the city. It’s the tour we loved the most and Monica is the greatest guide!

Despite the downpour, Sandra was an amazing guide! Loved walking the city with her. Would definitely recommend .

We had a great time on this tour. It is a half day tour so it felt like a perfect amount of time to spend if you are not looking for an activity that takes up the whole day. This is a walking tour so keep that in mind when picking out your shoes for the day. We loved getting to see the city and learn some more about the history. Our tour guide was great. It was us and one other couple so we got through the tour pretty quickly. The van picked us up and dropped us back off at our hotel
