Circuito de 2h30 en la Favela Vidigal

I am usually not someone who takes a guide when I travel, but to discover Vidigal, I am really glad I made an exception. Jean-Christophe has lived in Vidigal since COVID and it makes all the difference: you discover the favela through someone who actually lives there, rather than with a simple tourist tour. He allowed us to better understand the daily life, history, and reality of the neighborhood, while helping us discover places and viewpoints that we probably would never have found on our own. The tour was very pleasant, natural, and without the feeling of a "staged" tourist tour. Jean-Christophe is friendly, passionate, and very approachable. We felt confident throughout the tour and really had the impression of discovering Vidigal from the inside. If you are hesitating to hire a guide to visit Vidigal, I highly recommend Jean-Christophe to you. For us, it was clearly one of the best experiences of our trip to Rio!

thank you for this magnificent day! between the motorcycle tour, the discovery of the favelas and all these beautiful moments, we had an exceptional time. you are a wonderful, friendly, passionate and attentive guide. we will keep a wonderful memory of this day!

We contacted Jean-Christophe upon our arrival in Rio for a tour of the Vidigal favela and to hike the Morro Dois Irmãos trail, which leads to a magnificent view of Rio. Jean-Christophe responded to us very quickly to guide us for a half-day of discovery. Beyond this discovery of these places and the information that Jean-Christophe shared with us throughout the tour, we had a real moment of connection with a wonderful person who conveyed his attachment to his favela to us. These are the moments we enjoy experiencing during our travels and that remain engraved in our hearts! Sarah & Vincent

just now New First of all, meeting Jean Christophe was a real pleasure, a very beautiful person. With Jean Christophe, we were first able to visit the Vidigal favela in an unusual way, to immerse ourselves and better understand how the favelas, the inhabitants, and the city of Rio work; we ended the visit with a very good meal shared in his canteen. 24 hours later, we were able to take a more extensive tour of Rio in his superb 1962 VW bus, passing through the mangroves populated by caimans and capybaras, then we continued through the beautiful Tijuca Forest; he knew how to constantly adapt the day according to the weather conditions, which were not the most favorable that day. With Jean Christophe, we were able to discover the center, iconic sites, the Cachaça temple where we ate and bought rare beverages, secret spots, and get to know the Carioca culture a little better; a superb day, superb memories.

Wonderful experience. The view from the top of the "two brothers" is dazzling. The tour of the Favela in the company of Jean Christophe was both informative and rich in emotion. The presence of Jean Christophe, who lives there, allowed us to feel completely safe. A must-do without hesitation...

Jean-Christophe allowed us to discover a favela and to better understand daily life and Brazilian culture, far beyond the classic tourist spots. A powerful, authentic experience full of beautiful moments. We felt safe at all times and greatly appreciated his knowledge of Rio and his kindness. The whole family will remember these two exceptional days! Thank you very much Jean-Christophe!

We spent three days with Jean Christophe alias JC and it was wonderful. A true passion for this city, its culture. JC was attentive to everyone, the whole family enjoyed it. He even adapted the program to the fickle weather. We highly recommend him for your upcoming visits and will not hesitate to contact him again when returning to Brazil!

We had an incredible day. We recommend without hesitation.

We spent two days with Jean-Christophe: a full day of City Tour in Rio, then a second day with the hike of the Two Brothers and the discovery of the Vidigal favela. We simply loved it! Jean-Christophe is very professional, but it is above all his kindness, his availability, and his benevolence that left an impression on us. We are traveling with our three children and he knew perfectly how to adapt the days to our family, our pace, and our desires, all while helping us experience incredible moments. And his availability does not stop at the days of the visit: even outside of them, he always took the time to answer our questions, to advise us, and to help us for the rest of our stay in Rio. Thanks to him, we discovered Rio differently, with someone who knows and deeply loves his city. Two days rich in discoveries, exchanges, and memories that we will not forget. A huge thank you Jean-Christophe! We recommend him with our eyes closed to all families who wish to discover Rio. 🇧🇷❤️

Exceptional experience with Jean Christophe: tour of the Vidigal favela in complete safety thanks to his professionalism, his kindness, and his perfect knowledge of the area. Jean Christophe took the time to explain to me everything there is to know about these places and about Rio and of course to go to spots with magnificent views. I recommend it with my eyes closed!
