Expensive but worth every Euro - Wow, Anildo Lima was amazing. This was a private tour, my wife and I. First private tour for us. If they are all this good we are hooked. Of course it is largely dependent upon your guide. I cannot believe how much Anildo knew about the buildings, the history, the people of the time, and other general tidbits. He kept up engaged fully for 3 full hours. At the completion he gave us some ideas for the next day and some restaurants to check out. This tour will certainly be the highlight of our vacation. Obrigado Anildo.
