Tijuca Forest-rondleiding met kleine groep

the experience was incredible and absolutely worth the money. henry was extremely communicative from beginning to end, and the trip felt more like a fun day trip with friends rather than a guided tour. the hikes were not very hard, and the views were breathtaking! we saw some cute sloths and lots of wildlife, learnt about wildlife conservation efforts in brasil as well as the history of the park. it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and henry was a wonderful guide (with highkey based political takes). absolutely recommend :D lastly - shout out to fernando fr - i dont think i would've booked this had i not checked the reviews and read henry's response. that drama lowkey hooked me and my friend.

The tour was absolutely breathtaking, the tour is different what the usually big operators offer. Excellent trip with a guide with so much knowledge and the employees were incredibly nice, welcoming, and professional throughout the entire trip. They made us feel completely safe and comfortable. Highly recommended!

This tour was 100% worth it! We are a family of 4 my youngest 9 and oldest 17. If you enjoy hiking and being surrounded by nature, this is definitely the tour to choose. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history, fun facts, and insights throughout the experience. We explored several trails and waterfalls, and were lucky enough to see a few monkeys and a toucan along the way. Even if you don't spot wildlife, the tour is still absolutely worth it for the scenery alone. One of the highlights was reaching the top of the mountain, where the views were truly spectacular. The hike can be a bit challenging, but that's part of the adventure. The guide gave everyone the option to skip some areas if they preferred, but in the end, everyone decided to continue because it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking

We had a very knowledgeable and super friendly tour guide with Henry. Despite pick-up location outside the usual zone, he picked us up from the hotel.

Don’t hesitate to book with Experience Rio and Henry! Have no hesitation booking with Experience Rio when visiting Rio, Henry really made our trip and couldn’t thank him enough! Unlike other tour operators, Henry is 100% genuine and is looking out for you, trying to save you money and make your trip the best it could be. We booked trips for every day we were in Rio like Maracana Flamengo game, Vidigal Favela tour, Tijuca and waterfalls, the Ilha Grande private boat tour. We also took Henry’s advice to complete our own trips at times too like Christ the Redeemer and Escadaria Selarón where a guide isn’t necessary, it was really refreshing for someone to give advice and not just want to take your money which made us feel at ease from the start. Henry was great with all of our family including our children, a shout out to his brother Charlie too who accompanied us on the trips. Tijuca and waterfalls - Henry is always honest and unfortunately some of the park was closed on the day of our tour (this is Brazil so was only announced the night before and we were due to be collected at 6am the next day) so he contacted us the night before and he made it an even better experience than we’d imagined! He took us on a route where we didn’t see anyone else, climbing some great trails and rock faces to reach a secluded waterfall that we enjoyed a nice dip in. After that we walked towards the top of the park and to Vista Chinesa, what a view!! We saw toucan and monkeys on the walk too amongst other wildlife which was awesome, then due to the park closure Henry drove us to another spot where we took a hike to Pedra Bonita which was again super impressive, what fantastic views from up there.

Really nice forest hikes with Henry who was a down to earth and genuine person. His history of being a gringo in Rio and spending time there was very interesting and he had a passion for the forests and environment. A great day spent.

Excellent Tijuca tour with Henry today. Plenty of hikes and vistas in our six hour tour, with pick up and drop off provided. Excellent communication from our guide right through to our pick up. Henry is a really passionate guide, with terrific insight into the sights and sounds within the park as well as suggestions to make your stay a memorable one in Rio.

Our small group comprised my wife, me and one other lady, which was excellent.... we received a lot of information about the Tijuca Forest - plants, animals and history; we also benefited from a lot of first-hand information about living in Rio / Brazil and the love-hate relationship that many people, including our guide has, with the country. I really would recommend this trip to anyone interested in a more intimate tour exploring areas where the main stream tours don't get to, but do stress that you need a reasonable level of fitness to hike up some of the vantage points. We are both early 60s and hike a lot (my wife has a few knee issues) but found it fine. P.S. bring a change of clothes or swimsuit; the waterfalls are amazing.

Beautiful forest. However, hiking trails are poorly indicated
