Hola todo bien ? Agradecemos su comentario. Estamos felices por su satisfacción, siempre trabajamos para mejorar nuestro servicio. Esperamos que regrese pronto para repetir esta hermosa experiencia. ¡Gracias!
We were disappointed that this tour was very short and barely spent any time in the Favela. We simply drove through briefly, walked around for only a few minutes, and didn’t see much. We didn’t do multiple things on the itinerary such as the cultural exchange. And, although we booked the tour in English, there was not an English-speaking guide. I think these issues were due to a mixup with the tour guide, so I understand that the driver did his best to show us around and was very nice. Still, I don’t recommend this tour
Thank you for your comment and we are very sorry for what happened, in fact this is not a standard service in Rio Passeios e Trails. nor the type of service that we offer daily. We will be reviewing the performance so that there are no such glitches next time and so that we can always improve more. graciously
Unique experience with a wonderful guide: Danilo. He showed us real life in the favelas, without making us feel in danger. The view from there is wonderful!
