Exactly as advertised - great tour for getting to know Rio’s history better. Our guide had excellent knowledge and pretty good English. The museum was a fantastic architectural specimen - our teenagers enjoyed the interactive displays.

Must Do Tour

Museum of tomorrow is an excellent "Must Do" tour while in Rio. Our tour guide Monica was very knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. She is fluent in english. She gave a brief but comprehensive review of Brazilian history as well as information of various building and monuments we visited.

Amazing Guide

Now this experience was definitely worth the money. Camilla, our guide met us promptly at our hotel and arranged an Uber as there wasn't enough people for the trip. We headed downtown and our guide instinctively tailored our tour to suit myself and my five-year-old son. I made Camilla aware that I am visually impaired and she took this into consideration on planning the day. We strolled down Boulevard Olympic and she thought it might be a good idea for my son to take a look at Aqua Rio, which is the largest Marine Life Centre in South America. Stunning!

Camilla explained the great work of Eduardo Kobra which is truly spectacular and was coined 'The Largest Street Art in the World.' She also introduced us to the Brazilian soft drink Guarana Antarctica and we loved it. Our guide was happy to share her infinite knowledge of the city with us and was terrific with my young child. Camilla pointed out good photograph opportunities and even took some herself to send via WhatsApp. Nothing was too much trouble. We bumped into Spiderman outside The Museum of Tomorrow whom was selling Action Figures and he caught my son is his web! He then performed 'the floss' for us and we were extremely entertained.

It was great having a guide and The Museum of Tomorrow is awe-inspiring with its modern super cool architecture. The journey inside again is fabulous and perfect if you're travelling with kids. You cannot miss out on this 'out of this world' landmark if you're staying n Rio de Janeiro (definitely a must see experience.) I cannot think of anything quite like it in home country, England. As my son became hungry, Camilla took us to a nearby Subway and we happily munched on our sandwiches. I can only thank you Camilla for welcoming us to your city and for such a memorable tour. We had a super day out and will treasure it in our memories forever. Brilliant Tour. Excellent Guide

Museum of tomorrow’s review

kenslord, 21-01-2021

Honestly one of the best tour and tour guides I’ve been to. She was so knowledgeable and professional. The information provided was a lot to take in and she constantly had to switch between English and Spanish but none the less, everyone had a great experience, learned some of colonial history, exhibit the museum of tomorrow as well as see some inspirational history of rio. Highly recommended.
