If you have a chance, take this tour. It's excellent. Alex is a fun guy to hang out with and it was like like being with a friend. His English is impeccable and he is easy to understand. He can give you all kinds of details on the history of Rio and about the evolution of the city. He aso knows how to beat the crowds and traffic, take his word on it people! He even talked to some friends the day before our tour to find a good vegetarian restaurant in Rio after learning I was one going above and beyond!
