Great tour through Rio‘s diverse history and its corresponding architecture with many highlights of modernist architects - Great tour about modern architecture in Rio with lots of highlights by Oscar Niemeyer and other modernist architects! Our guide Monica was super flexible and also accommodated our wishes to see some buildings from the older parts of the city, such as Praça XV, Cinelândia and the São Bento Monastery. Overall, she was very knowledgeable and could answer all questions we had about the city and its history. We can absolutely recommend to not only visit the standard sights such as Christ the Redeemer and the Sugar Loaf but instead learn more about the diverse history of Rio and the corresponding architecture of the different epochs.

Wonderful architectural experience and more - Excellent experience! The possibility of going to places that we would hardly have reached on our own with the advice of Mónica, who in addition to being a wonderful person is ready to share a lot of interesting information. Without a doubt, highly recommended.
