Architecture and Culture in Downtown Rio de Janeiro
Nov 2019
We purchased this 1/2 bus tour including 5 major stops to visit landmarks not included in the trip itinerary package provided by the travel agency we work with.
This was an well worth time and money. Sandra is n amazing guide who delivered in a very interesting way lots of details about the historical and architectural part of each place we stopped and visited. There was also an opportunity at the Sambodrom to have pictures taken with a samba costume which we rented for a small fee at the quiosque. Sandra was also very nice and agreed to take us many pictures at all stops - the time we spent at each stop (20-30 min) was sufficient to go around and see some details we were interested in. Sandra is not only a great tour guide but she was taking a good care of us by advising where to pay more attention on the surroundings and be more careful. We had a great afternoon with her and the driver (sorry forgot his name) who was always helping us to get in and out of the bus. We highly recommend this tour.
