This tour was a great deal and covered A LOT. I actually took 2 history tours during my time in Rio. I paid much more for the first tour but felt like it missed a lot of sites. Thus, I decided to take a second tour and selected this one. This tour literally takes you everywhere and covers all the highlights you are likely to want to see in the downtown area. I will agree with others comments that the guide is a little odd but he is very passionate about showing people around Rio. I also think that other people are a little too critical as this covers MANY places and there is no way a guide could go into in depth detail about each one. He points out the highlights and ensures you get to see (and take good photos if you want) of many historical sites of the city. The tour does run on the long side as others have mentioned so don’t be surprised if it last longer than 3 hours because you see so much. All in all, would recommend

The address provided does not exist. I took an Uber there and found no city tour—just a random spot in a neighborhood that didn’t feel particularly safe or tourist-friendly. It was a very confusing and frustrating experience, especially for someone unfamiliar with the area. In the end, I had to make my own mini tour using the internet, asking a police officer for directions to the Selarón Steps, and figuring things out on my own. I eventually took the subway back to my hotel. This was definitely not the experience I was expecting, and I would not recommend it.

Escadaria Selaron, are a must see, when visiting the historical down town. Tiles from every where adorn the steps. Plenty of shops and booths, adorn, the side of the steps. After the tour up the steps, walk to the Carioca aqueduct / now a via duct for the tram way and the Metropolitian Cathedral.
