Russo's tour of the Vidigal Favela was superb and it was a privilege to explore the area with him. His detailed explanation and many stories of his childhood growing up in Vidigal along with our visits to his friend's social projects and seeing their houses first hand really brought everything to life. Thanks Russo, this was a real highlight of our Brazilian Family Adventure! Highly recommended if you are looking for an authentic tour of a Rio de Janeiro Favela

Excellent tour that the Noise gave us! We were just my wife and I on the tour and we loved the whole tour. We start with a little explanation down here and then we go on a bike . In addition to explaining the story and life of Vidigal , he also explained his life in the favela . The Russo was born and lives in Vidigal so he is the mayor's guide, because he is someone who knows Vidigal from A to Z. Thank you for the Russian experience.
