I really liked the tour, the guide took me around several places in the center of Rio, clearing doubts I had about the history of Rio and filling with context the buildings, squares and other places we were seeing on the walking tour.
I recommend the tour, it helps a lot to know the center of Rio

Unfortunately, one of the worst walking tours we have ever experienced in our travels!
I would like to separate our experience into two parts, since the tour was split with two different guides.
The first guide was really unprofessional and I would not characterize him a "guide" at all.
We didn't hear anything historical during the tour from him but we were just announced the places we were - which obviously we already knew!
Sentences were not complete in English (English of low level), we were crossing the middle of the road and not through traffic lights, we were passing close to homeless people even though we could avoid them and feel more safe.
In general, one hour of a very uncomfortable experience and we were about to stop the tour if the second guide didn't show up.
The second guide, Carlos, was very polite and motivated to tell us many things about the town - he really saved the day. His English also not perfect, but much better than before, able to communicate and pass on information about all the sites we visited. Very friendly and helpful and as previously said - without him the tour would have already ended.
Not sure if I would recommend this tour since you don't know in advance your guide.
