This tour focuses its attention at the very heart of Rio de Janeiro – its historical centre. We shall begin with Confeitaria Colombo and taste pure Brazilian coffee. It is truly a great restaurant where you can taste whatever dessert you like, and besides that this building has some historical significance. The Brazilians celebrate weddings there very often.

Afterwards we will move to the famous Praca Tiradentes square. Surprisingly, but it is named after a Brazilian dentist who was the leader of the rebellion against the Portuguese in the middle of the 18th century. We will also take a look at the Imperial palace, which is a very important cultural centre in Rio. Moreover it is distinguished by its astonishing colonial architecture. It is worth noting that Paco Imperial also used to be the dwelling of a royal family, and later served many goals and purposes.  

This city is a famous tourist attraction and the service of private tour guides in Rio de Janeiro is always in demand. The next site in our itinerary is the statue of general Osorio who managed to become the baron of Erval, and Mestre Valentin’s fountain. We should definitely make a stop at the ancient Church of St. Benedict, which was build by the representatives of the Benedictine Order at the beginning of the 17th century. It is a magnificent creation of the Brazilian baroque apogee.
