3 uur durende Rocinha Favela wandeltocht met een lokale Gids
Beschrijving
Een bezoek aan de Rocinha favela, een van Rio's honderden "favela's" (de Braziliaanse term voor een sloppenwijk of sloppenwijk) en de grootste van het land, is een lokale ervaring die je de kans geeft om Brazilië vanuit een ander oogpunt te zien. Neem met een inwonende Gids een niet-opdringerige wandeltocht om meer te weten te komen over het dagelijks leven in de favela en inzicht te krijgen in de uitdagingen waar deze gemeenschappen voor staan. Wanneer uw tour is voltooid, gaat onze chauffeur terug naar de wijk Copacabana over de stranden van Leblon en Ipanema, daarom moet u onze gids informeren waar u verblijft, zodat we ervoor kunnen zorgen dat u zo dicht mogelijk bij uw hotel wordt afgezet. Duur van onze tour inclusief ophalen en afzetten is ongeveer 3 uur.

Was very undecided about this tour because of reading many negative reviews across various companies but we are so glad we did it! If you ask questions, the tour is amazing but you have to be curious in my opinion. We learnt so much and it’s very different from similiar areas we’ve been to in other parts of the world. Been on many a motorbike across Asia but this was a different level, highly recommend it. Felt super safe and enjoyed this trip very much so! We knew we would regret not doing it and so glad we went for it
Daniel was a great guide! We had some great surprises along the way with a perfect view of the favela.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and that Daniel made your visit special. We’re glad you appreciated the surprises along the way and the beautiful views of Rocinha. We hope to welcome you back to Rio again soon! Kind regards, Favela Walking Tour
This was a great tour. We had Ray as our guide, and I would go again in a heartbeat. I learned a lot from Ray and also from looking around while walking. My only regret is losing all my photos from that day. If anyone else toured Rocinha with Ray the last week of July 2026 and would be willing to share some photos with me, please contact me (kejordan@gmail.com)!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Ray and that you would do it again in a heartbeat. We’re sorry to hear that you lost your photos. We will do our best to see if we can find some pictures from your tour and help you recover those special memories. We’ll also keep an eye out in case any of the other guests from your tour have photos to share. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to Rocinha in the future! Kind regards, Favela Walking Tour
Daniel, our guide knows first hand the life of the Fravelo and it was obvious that he shared insights that were genuine without sugar coating the reality. I enjoyed it very much although there are probably too many tours running at the same time.
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Daniel and appreciated his honest and genuine insights into life in Rocinha. We believe that hearing directly from local guides is an important part of understanding the community and its reality. We also appreciate your comment about the number of tours taking place at the same time. We’re always looking for ways to improve the experience and make our tours as comfortable and meaningful as possible. Thank you again for joining us! Kind regards, Favela Walking Tour
A long drive to pick people up, while it is hard to understand the English of the guide. We made several stops during the Favela tour which ended up asking for donation / small payments, which is not pleasant to find out they are trying to make money off of each stop. Not an experience living up to my expectation specially the guide not that helpful.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Our tour includes hotel pickups, which can take some time depending on traffic and the locations of other guests. We understand this isn’t ideal for everyone, but it allows us to offer convenient transportation from many areas of Rio. We’re also sorry if you had difficulty understanding your guide. We take this feedback seriously and will discuss it with the guide to ensure clearer communication on future tours. Regarding the stops during the tour, none of the purchases or donations are mandatory. We visit local community initiatives and small family-run businesses to give guests the opportunity to support them if they wish, but there is never any obligation to spend money. We appreciate your honest comments, as they help us improve. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future.
Best trip in Rio. Our guide is from the favela community and he speaks excellent English, very passionate, engaging and knowledgeable. I like how the tour is organized and designed. We spend time with children who teach us capoeira, and boys who can play football with us. I really enjoy it and I hope everyone can come and support the community.

The favela tour was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our trip. João was an outstanding guide—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely friendly. He made us feel welcome from the start and shared so much insight into the community, its history, and daily life. His passion and personality truly made the experience unforgettable. This tour was 100% worth it, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio.

Brilliant tour, our guide Carlos was passionate, knowledgeable and clearly local and loves his Favela. He was entertaining and kept the tempo of the group up and explained everything, our Son loved him. We'd literally just landed in Rio that morning itself after a 12-hour flight from Rome, but Carlos kept the energy levels up. I won't give away the context of the tour, but do not be afraid, embrace it and just book this tour, you won't regret it.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a great experience with Carlos. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him—he’ll be thrilled to know he made such a positive impression, especially on your son. It’s impressive that you joined the tour right after a 12-hour flight, and we’re so glad Carlos’ enthusiasm and passion helped keep everyone’s energy up. As a local guide, he truly loves sharing his community and giving visitors an authentic perspective on life in Rocinha. Thank you for recommending the tour to future travelers. It means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back to Rio someday!
