Carioca for a Day - Private Walking Tour in Rio de Janeiro
If you want to get mixed with real cariocas and enjoy history and architecture, this is the tour for you! Let me show you what locals do in their daily lives. . . where they eat and what? How they have fun? What are their working hours? How does education and politics work? How does we move around the city? All along the tour we are going to use public transportation in Rio (subway, light rail, tram and possibly bus) and take a pleasant walk in our financial and historic district. We will visit the most important historic sights of our Colonial and Imperial time, stop at one of the best and most traditional bakeries in Rio and visit the bohemian neighborhood of Santa Teresa. We will take your pace and make as many stops as you need.
