Ederson was a good guide who was genuinely interested in providing a tour tailored to one's interests. My wife and I wanted to see the sunset atop Sugarloaf at the end of our tour and Ederson made sure we were there. Although it was cloudy and there was no sunset, he allowed us to stay a bit longer to see the city lights from atop Sugarloaf. Spectacular! Also, we took the tour during Carnaval and Ederson went above and beyond to find a way through the huge crowds and traffic congestion to get us back to our cruise ship as quickly as possible. We highly recommend this tour!"
