I loved it all. the vibes and the energy of the environment was great. it felt sort of magical. Nothing prepared me for the Escadaria Selaron as the artwork is found in the details. Although 4 hours, the tour felt short as I was having a good time. The tour guide is very people oriented, knowledgeable and was open to all nationalities. I'd definitely book him again for any adventure in that area or in Rio ❤️
