If you are really into art I’ll let you know now that the art scene has not recovered yet, there isn’t much as you would all want. The museum of modern art had very few, and not being rude but not significant important pieces in a made gallery because of renovations, the museum of contemporary art in Niterio was even smaller and worst, one hall way full “abstract” lazy “art”. Saw maybe 4-5 good pieces. I gave this review a 3 stars just because of my guide Favio! He drove me to the museums and realize that it was nothing to see… so he took it in his own hands to show me art and drove me to the Centro Cultural del Banco de Brazil and there was finally art! It was a show on African art and artifacts but well worth it! FINALLY but again not this tour it was Fabio that saved the day!!! I was very so disappointed!

Dear Baldo, thank you for your review. We at Wowtour would like to point out that the MAC is not exactly an exhibition museum. It deserves to be appreciated for its architecture and designs by the famous architect. I appreciate your review of the services provided by our guide Fabio.

my guide Camilo introduced me to a beautiful one-day tour, a different way of living Rio not only made up of beaches and sun, its very interesting and its notes, and what to say the rest was done by the city , I recommend this tour for its interesting things and for the availability and kindness of Camilo

Dear Luc, it was a great pleasure to guide you and your wife on this customized tour, meeting your request, which combined architecture by Niemeyer with a carnival experience
