If you want to have a different and cultural morning, come with us and take the subway to enjoy a guided walking tour in downtown Rio. Many cariocas still refer to downtown as “the City”, as if it were a city apart, so busy, profuse and attractive. Rich in history and buildings of great architectural appeal, the center of the former capital of the country is best absorbed in the details when you walk through it. You can also extend your tour and take the afternoon part of this walking tour. Please check our complete walking tour called "Rio Walking Tour - City Center plus Olympic Boulevard and Museum of Tomorrow"

Monica was an amazing tour guide! Really knowledgeable and experienced. We initially wanted to engage in a 2-day tour but changed it to just 1 day and she still managed to squeeze in all the important sights into a 1 day itinerary! She brought us to the best photo spots on Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf mountain, was an amazing photographer for us, and also gave us great explanations to the iconic buildings of Rio de Janeiro city.

Excedeu as nossas expectativas e adicionou pontos históricos e turísticos não incluídos no programa inicial. Foi o guia que desejamos ter em todas as cidades a visitar por esse mundo. Obrigado Bruno.
