Interesting to see the Niemeyer architecture and the museum. Good overview of Niteroi. Guide was great, just the sites except the museum were not open or active.
My teenage son and I took a private Niteroi tour w Ed. We loved it! The tour started w a very informal "get to know you" conversation, during which our guide learned about our passion for architecture: he adjusted the itinerary immediately and took us on a fabulous Niermeyer Path, with multiple stops. The Niermeyer Centre had its own guide who was very lovely and knowledgeable (he was born the year I last visited Rio, 25 years ago, and really made it fun and educational for my son). After a fill of modern architecture, Ed took us to see the most amazing panoramic views of over Rio and its neighboring towns. Then, to an operating military fort from 1600s! However, the highlight of the tour was just talking to Ed and learning about life in Brazil, its education system, healthcare, politics, social (im)mobility etc. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in architecture and/or Brazil. Hope Ed gets his dream car soon and hosts you in it. Obrigado!!!
