BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Distances are short, the standing is long
Two or three hours mostly on your feet on hard ground. Comfortable shoes matter more than fitness.
The route is public space
Markets, lanes and places of worship are where people live and pray. Ask before photographing anyone and cover up where others do.
Cash for the small things
Tea, a fritter, an entry ticket. Card acceptance in old quarters is patchy at best.
Ask what the group size will be
A walking tour of six and one of thirty are different products at the same price. It is a fair question.

Rio de Janeiro done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones. No hesitation recommending them.

Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Rio de Janeiro done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Recommended.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Solid operator.

Questions people ask

It needs specific habits rather than general worry: no phone out on the street, nothing in your hands on the beach, apps rather than hailed taxis, and do not walk between neighbourhoods after dark. Inside those rules the south zone is straightforward. The briefing on day one is specific about which streets.
