Newton who was our guide had an excellent grasp of the tour items. He was Aldi very knowledgable regarding Rio and the surrounding areas. We got around very quickly and newton was well known at all the attractions and was able to expedite matters quicker than others. All the sites were fantastic , sugar loaf during the day and especially at night were excellent . For those reading there are lots of hats, cafes and restaurants to go to.
