Great way to learn about Rio! - We took 3 tours with them! Santa Teresa tour was a gem & Lorena /Lola was knowledgeable, friendly and really lovely to meet. The African heritage tour led by Gaby was really informative & ended in the coolest party , absolutely stay for that. The whole party is around the same few streets, there’s tons of people, a great atmosphere and it’s easy and safe to grab an Uber when you’re done - don’t skip this part! Finally the tour around the city centre with Raphael was very nice too and informative. Thank you all so much for introducing us to Rio, we LOVE this city ❤️

Don’t book, please remove from Viator - Zero. No guide showed up. I need a refund! No response to text or phone calls either. How can you have a tour with no guide?
