Enjoy a half-day tour through the architectural landmarks in Rio.
Rio de Janeiro was recently named the first World Capital of Architecture by UNESCO. The city has constructions of the colonial period, buildings in the art-deco style and modernist buildings.
Our walking tour starts from the Carioca’s Square in the Downtown area, where we see a group of constructions of the XVII century: the Church and the Convent of St. Anthony. Then we proceed towards the Rio Branco Avenue, the first avenue to be opened in our city. Then, we go to the Cinelandia Square to see its Art Deco Constructions before we make another time jump towards the modernist architecture. The tour ends at the Museum of Modern Art.

Rio is a spectacular destination, friendly people and beautiful places.
The city enchants with its atmosphere, culture and history and without a doubt everything was much better with the company of Monica Bertazzolo, an excellent guide, supremely cultured, prepared and willing to make the tour the best experience.

Monica is a great guide. He showed us places that normally on another tour one would not get to know. It has a lot of contextual information where the urban development of the city as well as its buildings is understood. The route is very structured, has sections on foot and by tram and presents an evolutionary perspective of the city from its founding to the intervention of the Olympic Games. Safely recommended for architects, urban planners, landscapers, historians and artists in general. Thanks Monica.

The tour was a great way to see a few of the most striking architecture and significant buildings in Rio and to learn about the city’s history. Monica, our guide, was knowledgeable, personable and helpful. She customized the tour based on our interests to include an exhibit of handicrafts from different regions of Brazil and even helped find a great restaurant nearby to have lunch at after the tour. Highly recommend!

An amazing way to learn about the city, its culture, history and art. A must for anyone interested in architecture. It was a beautiful experience to learn about different times of the city, its architectural developments as well as possibility to see the city in action. To see people engaging in their hobbies was a great way to learn about Rio.
