I want to leave here my thanks, my gratitude and my heartfelt recommendation to TiagoTkOficial and, especially, to our MototaxiPremium guide. Since the first contact via WhatsApp with the agency, we were very well served. Everything was explained with a lot of attention, transparency and professionalism, which gave us a lot of confidence and security from the beginning. And when the day of the tour came (13/08/2026) we realized that all this care was really part of their work. The organization was impeccable, everything very well planned and, most importantly, we had a wonderful guide accompanying us. The MototaxiPremium was simply amazing! Very polite, attentive, helpful and extremely professional. He showed a lot of knowledge, had all the patience to explain things to us, gave great tips and made sure that we took advantage of each moment in the best possible way. More than a guide, it was a person who made our experience even more special. You can see when someone works with dedication and really likes what they do — and that made all the difference for us. Thank you for all the affection, care, attention and professionalism, from the first contact to the end of the tour. It was a wonderful experience and we definitely recommend TiagoTkOficial and MototaxiPremium for closed eyes! May you continue doing this beautiful work and providing unforgettable moments for so many other people. Success always!

Our tour through the Rocinha favela was very interesting and impressive. We gained many new impressions and got an authentic insight into the lives of the local people. It was especially exciting to see how people live under the control of the gangs. Our guide Kim explained everything very clearly and excitingly. It was especially nice that we were even allowed to see her family's house, which made the tour even more personal and authentic. Communication before and during the tour was excellent. We felt safe and in good hands the entire time. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to get to know a different, authentic side of Rio!
