We were inspired to start when Luana returned to Brazil after living in Ireland for a year and immersing herself in local life. During her time in Europe, she had the opportunity to travel and learn about many countries and cultures. On every trip, whenever she visited a new city, the first thing she sought out was a “free walking tour”. When she returned to Brazil and couldn't find one in Rio de Janeiro, our travel agency was born, in July 2013. With 11 years in the market, we continue to share our passion! Free Walker has evolved and grown since then. Today, we offer tours in Rio de Janeiro, Paraty, and Salvador. We prioritize quality in interactive and enjoyable tours, aiming to change the way tours are organized in Brazil and improve their quality. Welcome! It would be a pleasure to have you join us!
Great walking tour, well paced. I often am skeptical when it’s a 3hr walking tour but this didn’t feel too long. Would recommend
We generally liked the tour and our guide, and enjoyed it. However we didn’t like the fact that while booking the website says “you decide the price, any price is good” but in the end of the tour you hear “the usual price of this tour is 150 reals”. It puts extreme pressure on those who were expecting to pay less. If we wanted to book a tour for 150 pp we would have chosen a private tour with a hotel pick up, but we had to get there on our own and walk with 20 other ppl, wait for everyone on each stop, etc. I don’t feel it’s fair and transparent to announce “the usual price” after the tour, not when booking. Also $35 per each person seems to be a lot in a country where a lunch deal costs $2-3.
Natalie spoke good English and led the tour well:)

Muy buen walking tour con Fernando; nos enseñó la ciudad de manera divertida y cordial, conocimos lugares importantes en el centro de RJ, nos dió tips y reecomendacion ajustandose al cronograma ofrecido en la plataforma.
