We had two amazing free walking tours in mid season (May 2024) in Rio, one in the historical centre and the other one in the Little Africa neighbourhood. Our guides were Jessica and Laetitia, we couldn’t be luckier! They were super nice, and provide a lot of historical and interesting information, apart from the best tips to explore the city. If you will visit Rio, you can’t miss these free walking tour!! Obrigado 🇧🇷

We had a wonderful afternoon walking with Benjamin around the old part of Aix. He is knowledgeable and at the same time open to discussing history and new viewpoints. Doing such a tour opens up the city in a way you cannot see if you just walk alone. Very enjoyable.

Although we saw some great sites, the guide made us feel like he needed to be somewhere else, and our 2 1/2-hour tour ended after 1 1/2 hours. It was not an inexpensive tour so we left feeling taken advantage of (and perhaps not seeing everything we were supposed to see?). Perhaps a price adjustment is in order.......

Joined this tour with my son and had Jessica who gave us the background & history regarding the city. There were only 3 of us on the English tour as the majority went on the Portuguese tour. Jessica was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly and showed us Theatro Municipal, the main Library, Cineland, Selarón Steps, Lapa Arches, the awesome Cathedral etc. She did a good job and also helped us in finding football match tickets for the Carioca Cup Semi Finals at Maracana Stadium that night with pick up and drop off from our hotel! Very impressed and highly recommend her for the city tour should you require a brilliant tour guide for Rio. Remember to tip generously too! Highly recommended!!

Yesterday, my husband and I went on a three-hour walking tour led by Rafael. We highly recommend the tour itself and in particular if Rafael is your guide. Rafael, born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, has a vast knowledge of the city and, as importantly, a deep love for his city. Additionally, his English language skills are terrific and his energy infectious. He was quite happy to answer any questions that we had and even provided us with his contact info, should we have additional questions during our stay in Rio. If you are looking for a very personable and knowledgable guide to Rio, you should look no further than Rafael and Rio Free Walking Tour. I know I sound like a paid endorsement but we really did have a marvelous time.

Rafael did great showing us around Rio!!! Born in Rio (a “carioca” as we learnt), he knew the history of every single site and was able to tell a totally colourful story!!!
Even after the tour, he had time for more stories and tips for all corners of this vast city!

The tour was fantastic. Rafael kept us informed and entertained for three hours and even gave his number after the tour if we had questions. If you want to see the heart of historic Rio and learn a ton of Brazilian history, take this tour. And you can’t beat the price (but tip generously).

I took the tour in Spanish with a couple of Colombian friends. The guide Josefa was spectacular. In addition to having perfect Spanish, she has a deep knowledge of the history of downtown Rio and is very friendly. It was a pleasant and very interesting tour. I highly recommend it! The tour ends at Praça XV and then we take Orla Conde to the museum of tomorrow. Too bad I forgot to take the couple to Eduardo Kobra's Etnias Wall! That's the difference being on a tour makes, the guide doesn't forget anything!
