Hi everyone, thanks for all the feedback. I actually do pretty well in foreign countries and speak some Spanish and French but for some reason I can't get a handle on spoken Portuguese. It just sounds pretty foreign to my ear. Based on all the good information on the board, I think I can navigate the sauna scene. I've been to Thermas in Barcelona so it sounds somewhat similar. To the quest above from Badboy81, I'd probably be most interested in hiring a person as a regular tour guide with maybe some advice for navigating the scene rather than someone to take me to the saunas. thanks again!

Hi guys, I'm making my first trip to Rio next month and I'm a bit nervous since I'll be traveling solo and I don't speak any Portuguese. Does anyone have any recommendations for an English speaking tour guide that's familiar with local sites as well as potentially how to navigate the sauna scene? I'd think if prefer a local in a 1:1 situation rather than organized group tours through viator etc. Thanks in advance for any advice as well as for all the interesting posts in this forum!
