We made the purchase in Copacabana... the tour was what we expected, good attention from the guide Manoel, good explanation, and it is very interesting to learn how the humble people of Rocinha live.

We found this activity interesting to go to know the community of the favela in rio, but it also gave us a bit of fear, although we are careful and do not get well deep into the rocinha, we are not stopped being in an environment that we are not used to!

I loved the tour of Rocinha with Wesley! Hyper friendly, passionate, always attentive and listening. He made the visit unique, with his personal touch and his communicative energy. What I particularly enjoyed was the opportunity to make a video with a drone from the rooftop of a favela – an incredible memory. I highly recommend!

I was also able to carry out this activity with the same agency that moved to big island. It has to be said that the good vibe of the guide joao, was great. It made everything okay. I knew many people inside the favela, I felt very calm. It's one how people live within the community.. it's sad, but it's 100% reality

On your vacation in the wonderful city I recommend taking this excursion with the agency, because it is a great partner! I loved it, I never felt scared like I had previously been told, it was very cool. The journey from my hotel to the favela is in a 4x4 jeep. do it if you can
