ファベーラという言葉の背後にある実際の生活

I didn't know what to expect when I signed up for my favela tour in Rio, but during and afterwards I was incredibly happy that I booked it!! Me and my friends were picked up at our hotel by our tour guide Alex and his driver, Fabio, on time and they were very friendly and made us feel comfortable right away. On our drive to the famous Rocinha Favela in the South Zone of Rio, Alex gave us an excellent history of the city, the people and the customs of the Cariocas-- the native people of Rio De Janeiro. While we were in the favela, Alex kept us safe and made us feel at home as he guided us through the winding roads and staircases of the unique mountain community he grew up in. We were able to sample the sights and sounds of Rocinha, purchase unique souvenirs and artwork and we were treated to an awesome Capoeira demonstration that really amazed everyone who saw it in my group!! Alex even taught us how to dance Brazilian Samba before our time on the tour ended and we had to return to our hotel. What a tour!! I'm definitely going to do it again in the future and I recommend anyone interested in true Rio culture to book this tour ASAP-- You won't be disappointed!! Alex and Fabio were MUITO ÓTIMO!! 5-STARS FOR THIS TOUR!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If you are in Rio de Janeiro, this is an experience that I really recommend you do. The pickup was very simple; our guide Alex waited for us at the subway exit, and from there we reached Rocinha by motorcycle taxi. Alex was fantastic from the very first moment; he took us to the main scenic spots and told us so many things about daily life in the favela. We were particularly lucky because it was just me and my boyfriend, while other groups were made up of four or more people. This allowed us to experience the day in a much more personal and relaxed way. Alex was always very attentive to us, never losing sight of us, and he really did everything to make us have the best time possible in his company. An experience we will carry with us forever.

We had an AMAZING time exploring the favela with Alexandre. He was quite personable, knew many local folks (constantly passing people who stopped to say hi to him); got us access to special spots without big crowds; personally demonstrated world class capoeira, found us excellent coffee, phenomenal views, and tons of insights on culture and history. His English was impeccable. Would HIGHLY recommend him as a guide.

Our experience in the favela was truly unique. Our guide shared so much with us about its history and what everyday life is like there, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. This is definitely something everyone visiting Rio should experience, as the favelas are an integral part of the city. Seeing it up close completely changed many of the ideas and perceptions we had beforehand. Thank you so much for the fantastic tour! We highly recommend it!

This was the best thing we did our whole trip in Rio de Janeiro. The tour and also the tourguide was amazing. Its a Realy Nice expierence and verry educational. I would definitly recommend this tour!!!

This tour of one of the favelas of Rio was one of the most interesting and eye opening excursions I have ever done. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the area and led us to several different stops. From the top of the favela with its great views of Rio to the black market area where cameras are not allowed, every aspect of the excursion was truly an experience.

I want to special thank Jovani, Not sure if I remember correctly or spelled it right but he was my guide. I had such an amazing experience with him. Every question I had, he answered them. I was the only one and loved that I had that one on one tour as a solo traveler. Thank you for taking the time to take pictures for me as well! The motorbike up the neighborhood and the walk down of the tour was definitely an eye opener seeing how far you have came and went. I highly recommend booking this tour if you want to experience something new, culturally & learn its history.

After a first problem with the language of the guide, the agency immediately remedied and we made a magnificent excursion with Carlos who lives in the Favela and told us all the details of life in this place. A perfect hike

What a wonderful moment at Rio with Emma !! . She’s a great guide, she gives us a lot of explanation about the life in the Favela. After the tour, we wanted to stay at the Favela with her. We highly recommend this tour !

Must see experience of Brazilian culture
