Great snapshot of local life. - This was definitely a less touristy tour then anything else we've done. This is where locals go. Our guide was great, super passionate about her culture, very knowledgeable and catered to our likes and dislikes. Aline also took us to the flower market in the back of the Municipal Market. Unfortunately they were wrapping up for the day so there wasn't as much there as there is during the peak hours.

The market was a bit... - The market was a bit small and food was so so but Leo, our tour guide made the experience phenomenal! He gave so many amazing facts on the way there about the city and neighborhoods and history and tailored the tour to our needs. Not my favorite Rio destination but def my favorite guide!

Do Rio with Raul and Leo - Raul and Leo were amazing guides. The history he shared was amazing and eye opening. He did a great job tailoring our tour to highlight the African experience in Brazil. Leo is super knowledgeable and engaging. He took us to Little Africa and blew our minds. You must allow Leo to take you to little Africa. Raul took us on a city tour to see Christ the Redeemer, sugar loaf and the famous steps. We were able to skip some of the lines - it was great because it allowed us to spend our time touring instead of standing in line. I highly recommend these two gentlemen as your tour guides in Rio.
