Rio is not only seen, he understands and feels it!

More than a walk, it is an immersion in living history, with real events of a city that is increasingly empowered, there are stories that move and help strengthen interest in this visit so that you understand the why of each particular situation.

I invite you to reflect on socio-cultural facts through each place you pass through.

You will have the opportunity to feel like a local when walking along the sidewalks of the city.

You will have the time to contemplate the architecture that represents the Belle Epoque.

We will pass the renowned Colombo Confeitaria so you can taste the “sorvete da rainha”

From the Staircase to the modern Museum of Tomorrow you can compare the past, present and future not only of Rio but of the whole world.

In addition, I will share fundamental tips to enjoy 100% the stay without fears, places to visit, what to eat and where, etc.

Wait for you!

Everything was magnificent. It was my husband, my six-year-old daughter and me. The guide was spectacular, very friendly and caring. He made us a very interesting tour and not with so much historical data that sometimes bore us. We ended up in a museum that for children was a very good option. The groups are very small, in our case it was just us, so the fair price is more than 15 € per person
A perfect walk through the center of Rio
