Very good walking tours
29 Oct 2012

- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I used this in 2012 and found it very useful, particularly the walking tours. It's small and compact and I found the map was accurate, but I wasn't using it for Zona Sul as the other reviewer was. Tourists often hear lots of warnings about Rio and then they end up not seeing the delights of the city. The tours take you through areas like Santa Teresa and Lapa Steps, indicating where to be careful but without being alarmist. The restaurant recommendations are good. Simimlarly museums are very well covered.

Out-dated info

Although this book had a publishing date of May 2011, I thought it was out-dated. We walked around Ipanema and after having spent an hour looking for a particular store, we discovered that it had closed down. We found several other stores that were also permanently closed, so I stopped referring to the guidebook. Maps had a few errors and some locations were misplaced on the map so we spend extra time looking and finally found out that it was incorrect on the map. This book can be useful for basic tourist info, but I found info on the internet that I thought was more helpful than this book.
