What To Expect

The Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Sebastian

After pick up we will park the car and visit the Metropolitan Cathedral of Rio de Janeiro. It was projected by Edgar Fonseca and inaugurated in 1979, replacing the Church of Nossa Senhora do Carmo as the city's cathedral. In a modern style, it has a conical pyramid shape, 106 meters in diameter, 75 meters high outside, 64 meters high inside and a capacity for 20,000 people standing. A differential of the building, with straight and sober lines, is due to the colored stained glass windows torn on the walls up to the dome.

As I look at the beautiful photos Renata sent us after the tour and I remember our fabulous day in Rio historical center, I wonder where to start in reviewing this tour. It began punctually at the agreed time and away we went to the historical center. Here Renata showed us the main attractions with detailed but not overwhelming explanations of each place or building. I particularly loved the little hidden gems she pointed out for us, that otherwise might have gone unnoticed. Along the route, she asked us if we would like to see more or less of a specific attraction, offered alternatives and suggestions, and changed the route accordingly. Overall, she went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that we see only what we wanted or were interested in. Also, she took lots of beautiful pictures of places and of us but without being intrusive. The tour went at a leisurely pace with breaks when we wanted them. A wonderful tour of a wonderful place that I highly recommend!
