Our tour of Rio with Ederson was a highlight of our trip to Brazil.I can't imagine a better way to experience Rio than through Ederson's tour.  He is knowledgeable, (a historian disguised as a guide!), passionate, energetic, and flexible. This was our first trip to Brazil. I have family there and had very specific things I wanted to see.  A great uncle of mine was a well-known Brazilian artist. I am also related to a well-known family in Brazil. I wanted to understand more about my family. Ederson responded quickly to our request for a tour. He was one of only two tour guides who actually mentioned these people in their tour proposals. Ederson clearly did his research and addressed my requests in his proposal. He followed through, he was prompt and organized. We had some wonderful conversation throughout the day about art and about culture as related to my family. We had a great day!!My husband was equally impressed with Ederson's proposal and with his tour.  We wouldn't hesitate to book another tour with Ederson next time we visit Rio!
