Additional Information
Rio is more than sun and sand. Our city is full of movement, color, and an incredible good vibe. But it wasn’t always like that. Its history is full of ups and downs that hide hundreds of secrets, even with the naked eye, without you noticing in its streets. That’s why we want you to explore it from that historical side, much older than the Samba and the carnival. Walk with us through the most important squares, churches and colonial monuments for Carioca’s cultural identity and take a picture on the most colorful and incredible stairs in the world!

This Is THE Guide To Book With! - Fabio is a fantastic guide!! He is so knowledgeable about Brazilian history and knows where all the hidden (and not so hidden) treasures are which he will take you to and give you context and insights you simply wouldn’t have if you visited them on your own.
He also is just a really fun guide to hang with and will structure the tour to your interests. Strongly recommend!!

Fabio is the best! - We did both the Historic City Tour and the Ilha Grande Island tour and both were excellent. Fabio is always 5-10 minutes early, and ready for the day with a general itinerary that can be adapted to suit your needs. My only regret was not doing our third day with him. 5 stars.
