Si sos arquitecto o te gusta la buena arquitectura, es un tour IMPERDIBLE
Arq Sofia B, 10-07-2022
Excente! Te olvidas del mundo mientras dura el tour. Monica, la guia, una delicia. Muy instruida, proactiva y con ganas de enseñar. Todo un lujo!
Unterhaltsame und lehrreiche Architektur-Tour

Wir waren zwei Tage mit Monica und dem Fahrer Greg unterwegs, um die Architektur der wundervollen Stadt Rio zu entdecken. Monica hat auf Englisch sehr viel Hintergründe geliefert, um den Kontext das Konzept der Bauten zu verstehen. Sie ging hier auch auf besondere Wünsche ein und hatte ein sehr gutes Wissen. Auch über die politische Lage, historische Entwicklungen konnten wir gut mit ihr sprechen. Es hat Spaß gemacht und wir haben viel gelernt. Der Fahrer Greg fuhr verlässlich und aufmerksam, das Auto war in einem tadellosen Zustand. Eine klare Empfehlung für den Anbieter, Mônica und Greg. Danke! Obrigado!
