5.00Just excellent! Because it was Christmas, the tour was only me and two guides: Carlos and Augusto. Moment they realized that it is not my first trip to Rio, they decided to made few extra stops and showed me places I have not seen before. Also, we had nice discussion about history of the city and visited places. Both were very nice, very good and very hospitable. Excellent value for the money spent. Overall 20/10
A must to anyone that comes to Rio.
