The staff should be 'warmer' with their costumers, and should know more about the places we visited. In the end,I loved it. Can't stop smiling thinking about the day!

Great guy: Eduardo made it very fun and filled with info. The autovan used for the tour was perfect as well with A/C.
I didn't like that Eduardo did come up to Cristo Redentor because of some stupid German decided to leave his t'shirt somewhere.
Eduardo: learn from this one for next time. Remind people not to leave clothes and if they do you owe it to the rest of the group to come up and give the due explanations.

We had a WONDERFUL time on this trip. The guide was funny and made the effort to tell us interesting facts. We didn't know what to expect being that it was our first tour, but we actually got our money's worth. We even met Selaron on the tour! (the famous artist who created the acclaimed steps in Lapa) He was working on the actual steps during our visit and signed tiles for us. Great experience.
