Guided Tour of Rio de Janeiro

We'll start this guided tour of Rio de Janeiro by meeting at the meeting point of your choice at the indicated time, and from there we'll head to Marechal Floriano Square, one of the most important places in Rio de Janeiro.

From the square, we'll be able to see the external architecture of the most beautiful buildings in the historical centre of Rio de Janeiro such as the Municipal Theatre, the câmara municipal government building and the National Library. We won't enter these buildings, rather admire their beautiful facades; but we'll visit the Royal Portuguese Cabinet of Reading, one of the city's most beautiful libraries.

The guided tour will continue along the city's central streets. We'll take a break at a typical bar to try three different types of cachaça: one of Brazil's most famous alcoholic drinks. We'll discover the historical centre of Rio de Janeiro, visit the Confeitaria Colombo (the city's oldest cafeteria), the Nossa Senhora do Carmo da Antiga Sé royal church and more! 

The tour will end at Praça XV de Novembro Square.
