The Guide Raffael gave a nice insight of the city center. Paired with some really nice historic information.
If you want you can get any recommendation for food or other stuff worth to do in the city.

Juliana was so fun! She was high energy and you could tell she loves her job. There were 5 of us on the tour, we walked about 3 miles at an average pace and it was cool out. If the sun was beating down, not sure I would of enjoyed it was much. Lots of beautiful buildings with great history behind each. We walked on a Saturday and the markets were open and this added to the excitement of the tour. Juliana spoke in both English and Portuguese. She was easy to chat with and shared her own experiences living in Rio. I felt like a friend was welcoming me to the city! I recommend requesting Juliana if you want a fairly quick (3hr) and educational experience/tour with F-U-N of Rio with a bit of exercise.

Did the historical walking tour with Rio by foot. Our guide Rafael did this “history class” very interesting and fun, he had a lot of energy and seemed to like his job. The tour is great to see and learn
more about Rio than just Copacabana and Christ the Redeemer ;)
Nice tour!

Great tour visiting the historical sites of Rio. Visited the oldest cafe in Rio and some of the other cathedral and squares in the area.

Would do other tours if had the time.
