We did not know what to expect for this tour and we were not disappointed. Diego ( our tour guide ) was in no rush and our tour was extended by about an hour as he wanted to show us different places . We visited places we would never have visited if we had just tried to explore Rio ourselves. A 10/10 tour , would well recommend this tour 🏆
