Nice guide, interesting tour, but with "mandatory visits", for example to "voluntarily" making music and dancing children.

Edmundo was an exceptional tour guide. He explained to our group so many different details about these neighborhoods and answered any questions that we had. He also advised us as to where and when we could film, and we were also treated to a fantastic performance by some young children/teenagers who couldn't be more accommodating. It was a great way to spend an afternoon and learn about a part of Rio de Janeiro few tourists get to see, and that more tourists should.

Ashura Guy did such a great job of giving us so much information about the history of the Cabela’s! He took wonderful pictures of us and even showed us the kids and we got to talk to the kids as well. I really enjoyed that her and I feel even more well-informed about the fella that idea before I took a tour. My daughter and I would recommend this tour guide to anyone who takes the tour! We love our tour guide.
