We had an awesome experience....our tour guide Anderson was exceptional...We did Christ the Redeemer, Maracana, Pan de Azucar (Sugarloaf) and visited the Favela as well...All in one day, with no delays....he facilitated the whole tour. 100% recommended. Thank you, Linda and Family from Texas.
It was the sixth time I came to Rio and, by far, this was the best experience of all. I felt super safe, accompanied by a top guide (Zé), an unforgettable visit. The work they are doing is very well done. And for those who may be afraid, one observation: Rocinha, at this time, may be one of the safest places in Rio de Janeiro.
Very sensational top.helpful guide very good people, can go without fear.

Tour guide Jessica was great! We took a moto-taxi to the top of the favela, saw some of the beautiful sights on top of the mountain and then she gave a great introduction to favela culture as we walked down from the top stopping in schools, social spaces, art galleries and through the market. Jessica was very interactive and was willing to switch up the normal tour program to show or talk about topics that I was curious about in the favela. Nothing felt scripted as it sometimes can be in tours.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cultural immersion and appreciated the opportunity to explore different aspects of life in Rocinha. It's especially wonderful to know that Jessica made the experience interactive, personal, and tailored to your interests. We believe the best tours are authentic conversations rather than scripted presentations, so we're glad that came through during your visit. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you're in Rio!
