The tour was amazing. The guide really knew what he was talking about when it came to the street art, artists, and the art’s connection to historic and current events in Brazil. I got amazing pictures.

Edmundo was a great guide! He knew all the good places and also where not to go! Street Art is amazing in Rio and without this tour I think we wouldn't have had such a good impression of Rio! Thanks a lot!
