As we know Rio de Janeiro is a city of wonders, noisy and always full of life. It is practically filled with historical sites and places of interest, and in order to not to get lost in all this diversity, it is advisable to use the service of a private guide in Brazil.  Rio de Janeiro is full of energy and at night nobody sleeps there. But it is only one side of Rio de Janeiro. On the other hand it may be called a calm bucolic town.  

Downtown Rio is the part of the city where all historical sites, colonial buildings and old architecture are concentrated. Our guided tours in Rio de Janeiro usually begin with exploring of the old acheduct, which was aimed at supplying the first inhabitants of Rio de Janeiro with fresh water. Afterwards an old tram will take us to Santa Teresa. It is worth noting that it is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro and it wasn’t allowed to ride a horse on its streets.

After a certain period of time, several changes were made and this part of Rio has returned to its natural way of life with its luxurious Bohemian life, unique art and buildings. Sightseeing also includes having lunch at a nice bar in Santa Teresa. It is a great experience for a foreigner, which gives him an opportunity to get acquainted with the local cuisine.

This tour over bucolic Rio is mainly held on weekends, especially on Saturday, so we could visit great antique fairs.
