Enderson is a great guy and a terrific tour guide. I really enjoyed this trip to Niteroi and got lucky with this Viator experience. Although, the trip was described as "new to Viator" Enderson has about 10 years of experience and it shows. I felt like this was an "everyman's tour," whereby I learned about and viewed not only the popular parts of Niteroi, but also inside/local-type places. Niteroi is an essential tour to take if you're in Rio -- so many gorgeous views. Enderson is young, casual, energetic, and knowledgeable about the best locations. Kudos, too, for his patience in helping me find the right ATM machine. Plus, his English is great, which was especially helpful.
