Worth it and good value.Wonderful guide Renata F passes on her love of RIo thru this tour and the 4-hour Rio Old Town Historical Walking Small Group Tour which I did one after the other. A lot is packed in the tours and the shops are not the usual tourist traps run by the guide's cousin but are unusual i.e. workshop for deaf ladies who make lovely things like table mats and the guy who makes recycled gifts. Also introduced to Acai which in Rio is made like a semi frozen dark purple smoothie and is delicious.
