Nice, personalized, and friendly tour!

Published on Mar, 2024

My wife, teen daughter, and I enjoyed very much our private tour of the old city and downtown area. Cesar, our guide, was knowledgeable and friendly. He not only answered all our questions but gave us an historical overview of the birth of Brazil from being a Portuguese colony. Highly recommended.
