[edit] Guides

I removed this section of the guide. I don't think this is appropriate for a travel guide, but please feel free to discuss. --Evan 09:34, 14 December 2006 (EST)

One of the best ways of knowing the city is having a local tourist guide with you. The local guides are trained by SENAC and have in-depth knowledge of the city and its outskirts. Besides, being locals, the guides know extremelly well other cities and locations outside Ouro Preto, which can be invaluable for those looking for some adventure at waterfalls and trekking.

all tourist guides are located at Praça Tiradentes.

-- Evan, I added this section both in Portuguese and English, as it is difficult to find your way around town without a guide and understand its history. Since there´s not much about the city in printed guides, I thought this would be an idea. If you feel appropriate, I will also remove from the link in the Portuguese page. --Robert

If there's not information in the printed guides, then we should add it right here, I think! That's the whole point of Wikitravel: sharing information, not sharing information about who to ask for information. It's unusual for Wikitravel is all; I'd like to hear some more opinions before we add it back in. --Evan 14:30, 14 December 2006 (EST)
Evan, it is cool with me. I will keep adding more information, as I am still in town. As soon as I can I will add pictures too. In the meantime, let us see what other users think. Since the historical background of the city is huge, writing everything up is a mamoth task. Nevertheless, I see your point as stated above. All the best for now, --Robert
