“Best start in Rio”
We took this tour on the first morning in Rio, and it was a perfect start. Marcelo gave us an excellent overview of the city, showing us perspectives you wouldn’t find by yourself, and made us feel comfortable in Rio. His English is excellent, and he is passionate about his city. After this intro, we continued on our own, as we were confident that we are in safe areas. Obrigado, Marcelo!
