In an unconventional climate unconventional tourism, you will know the history of the Brazilian republic, visiting icons of this historical moment besides its materializations in the city that was the first capital of this government. Aterro do Flamengo, Getúlio Vargas, militarism and dictatorship are some of the subjects on this tour.

Sure, here's a review for your Historical Downtown and Lapa Walking Tour:
---
I had an incredible time on the Historical Downtown and Lapa Walking Tour in Rio de Janeiro! Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also very friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. We explored the rich history of downtown Rio, learning fascinating facts about the city's past. The highlight for me was definitely the famous Selarón Steps in Lapa, where we took some amazing pictures. This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Rio – it's a perfect blend of culture, history, and fun!

Fernando was a very attentive and friendly guide. The tour is very complete and gives a panoramic view of the most important historical milestones in Brazilian politics and Rio in particular. Highly recommended for history lovers.

Great tour visiting the historical sites of Rio. Visited the oldest cafe in Rio and some of the other cathedral and squares in the area.
Would do other tours if had the time.

The Guide Raffael gave a nice insight of the city center. Paired with some really nice historic information.
If you want you can get any recommendation for food or other stuff worth to do in the city.

Juliana was so fun! She was high energy and you could tell she loves her job. There were 5 of us on the tour, we walked about 3 miles at an average pace and it was cool out. If the sun was beating down, not sure I would of enjoyed it was much. Lots of beautiful buildings with great history behind each. We walked on a Saturday and the markets were open and this added to the excitement of the tour. Juliana spoke in both English and Portuguese. She was easy to chat with and shared her own experiences living in Rio. I felt like a friend was welcoming me to the city! I recommend requesting Juliana if you want a fairly quick (3hr) and educational experience/tour with F-U-N of Rio with a bit of exercise.

Did the historical walking tour with Rio by foot. Our guide Rafael did this “history class” very interesting and fun, he had a lot of energy and seemed to like his job. The tour is great to see and learn
more about Rio than just Copacabana and Christ the Redeemer ;)

We went on the free walking tour today and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our tour guide was Rafael, he was really good. His historical knowledge was excellent, we found it very interesting and informative and much better to sightsee with knowledge. He made us feel safe and was able to answer all our questions.There were lots of photo opportunities. We finished at the steps, they were brilliant. The tour is free however you can tip at the end which we did as he was very good. We would recommend this tour, you meet at the Theatro municipal at 10:30am, look out for their green shirts. Enjoy! :)

We had a really lovely guide called Rafael, who showed us all the main attractions and gave us a debrief of the history of the city. He showed us various original structures including the library, theatre, an old bakery, several churches, and the steps. After the tour, we stopped for lunch at a place he recommended, the ambience was great and the food was delicious.
Highly recommended. We didn't know what the structure was before booking, nor did we realise how the tours operate - do take money to pay the guides as a "pay the value you wish to pay". We checked some of the places recommended afterwards in our own time - there are galleries and museums you can pay to enter - and we're glad we had a local to point us in the right direction - well worth it.
