Queremos agradecer a Marcus por hacernos vivir de una forma muy especial nuestro recorrido por el centro de Rio. Estuvo en todo momento preocupado por nuestra seguridad, en que estuviéramos disfrutando y nos compartió datos históricos y curiosidades muy interesantes de la ciudad. Es una persona muy gentil, amable y humana. Estamos infinitamente agradecidos. Muchas bendiciones Paulina y Franco de Chile.
