  • Rio & Lapa Historic Centre Free Tour

    Great city tour - I joined the English group and our guide Lorena was fantastic, sharing lots of interesting information about Rio's history. I was careless and took longer taking photographs at the Selaron Stairs and lost my group..... but I was able to join the Spanish speaking group led by the wonderful Fernanda and continue the tour (with my basic Spanish I could understand around 50% of the information). I felt safe with my guides and really enjoyed the historical city centre walk.

    Very interesting and informative. Victoria, our guide, was very clear, easy to understand, and fun.

    I found the tour very entertaining; when we finished, I couldn't believe how quickly the time flew by. All the information I received about the history of the places we visited was interesting. (The bathroom breaks were much appreciated.)
