Interesting tour
The guide lives in the neighborhood, which makes the experience more "real". Unfortunately we could not take the yellow tram as the line was too long.

Best way to discover Santa Teresa
We did the Santa Teresa & Selarón Stairway Bohemian Experience and loved every minute of it. Eduardo was fantastic — knowledgeable, attentive, and always ready to answer questions or share extra stories about the neighborhood’s history and art scene. Highly recommend this tour if you want an authentic, well-paced experience in Rio!

Best tour ever
Eduardo was the best guide ever! He explained Rio history and the histiry of Santa Teresa so clearly. He is very knowledgeable and clearly passionate in what he does. We were walking for 4 hours and it didn’t even feel that long. He is also very accomodating and took wonderful photos for us and also helped us get on the metro back to our hotel! What an excellent guide! Highly recommend the tour. Thank you so much Eduardo.
