Great insight into historical Rio - The guides knowledge was insane he was friendly and well mannered
he took us to places we didn’t know about
our only regret was that we didn’t do this earlier in our time in Rio

Because it was afternoon and 102... - <p>Because it was afternoon and 102 degrees no one else was interested in a walking tour, so we had a private tour. Our guide Tauan was the best.....very knowledgeable, considerate, good sense of humor. We walked for 4 hours, rode the subway, and saw things we never would have found on our own, like the money exhibit in the museum in the bank building. A wonderful experience all around!</p>

This was a fantastic walking tour... - <p>This was a fantastic walking tour and I emphasize walking. Be prepared for 3 to 4 hours on your feet. The pace was casual so we didn't feel over exerted, but we still got to see so much. Our guide Heraclito aka Kiko was terrific. We had a mixup on our location at the beginning of the tour, called the company and Kiko came to our Metro Station to meet us. We started in Cinelandia and finished at the Olympic torch. Didn't count all the sites we saw, but I'm sure 15 is a fair number. We never felt rushed and saw sites like the Catedral de Sao Sebastiao that we may never had ventured to on our own. It was a very good introduction to Centro Rio and I would recommend at the beginning of a trip to Rio.</p>

Not for me - This tour is nice and shows the “other” side of Rio.
The guide was nice but don’t think this tour was for me.
I did not like it because it was the first day of my trip and this side of Rio is not what I was expecting from Rio.
We did see this amazing Portuguese library but I felt sad for the beaten down city center.
I didn’t know that we were taking the subway to Downtown from Copacabana.
