Rômulo was a great informant! The pride he has for Río is unmatched and it showed during his presentation. Rômulo needs to be the highest paid tour guide the company has! The experience was life changing!!!

Experiência inesquecível! Aproveitei a tour especial pela Pequena África no dia 13 de maio com o guia Rafael e foi uma tarde super agradável. O passeio pelo Centro e zona portuária do Rio de Janeiro é bem bonito e o guia entrega as informações de forma clara e bem humorada, combinando história e curiosidades de forma a tornar o passeio leve, ainda que muito rico em informações! Mesmo estando sozinha, me senti acolhida pelo grupo, que o Rafael guiou em um bom ritmo, tornando fácil que todos acompanhassem, mas sem extender a tour de forma a ficar cansativa. Recomendo a todos esse passeio, que tem um valor excelente, entrega tudo o que promete e mais!!! Falou-se na possibilidade de uma tour especial em Santa Tereza no mês de junho e minha vaga já esta reservada!

I did a tour in English with Amanda. I got a lot of information, Amanda was full of knowledge and showed great enthusiasm to share as much information as possible. This specific tour didn’t involve a lot of walking. Very glad I did it as I learnt a lot and understood the area much more. Thanks Amanda, oh and yes, very strange that you pay what you want.
