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!!!

Jacques_B, Dec 2019

Excellent tour done with Ederson from trip in Rio I was alone and he didn’t cancel the tour like other tour company did the previous day. He drove me around and we visit all we were suppose to do We also spent a good hour looking at paragliding departure from the top of the mountain at 10 feet from us I love this tour, thanks again Ederson

Great Tour and Tour Guide!

Enderson is a great guy and a terrific tour guide. I really enjoyed this trip to Niteroi and got lucky with this Viator experience. Although, the trip was described as "new to Viator" Enderson has about 10 years of experience and it shows. I felt like this was an "everyman's tour," whereby I learned about and viewed not only the popular parts of Niteroi, but also inside/local-type places. Niteroi is an essential tour to take if you're in Rio -- so many gorgeous views. Enderson is young, casual, energetic, and knowledgeable about the best locations. Kudos, too, for his patience in helping me find the right ATM machine. Plus, his English is great, which was especially helpful.
